Amniocentesis

Dear Munchkin,
We are back at home after a successful amnio test this morning. We arrived at the specialist and I was promptly put on a monitor. This time, I needed to be monitored before and afterwards. Then we went into the ultrasound room and I was just a bundle of nerves. Everything went perfectly smooth during the procedure, which was mildly uncomfortable, but not painful. I didn't even know that she was going to start until the needle was already inside my tummy. Of course, I kept my eyes closed the whole time. She drew three vials of fluid for the lab. Dr. Conners mention that the fluid was cloudy which generally indicates that the lungs are mature. I hope the lab confirms that diagnosis. So now, I wait this afternoon (at home, no work today) until 5 PM. Once Doctor Davis calls me, we should know what the next step is. My prayer that you are here sooner than later! I will write as soon as I have any more information. I love you,
Mom
