*Repeat Amnio test scheduled for Monday morning 9 AM*
Dear Munchkin,
We are already home from the hospital and it's only 8:15 AM. That's because they couldn't do the amnio test this morning. We arrived at the hospital @ 7:15 AM all prepared for the big event. The ultrasound technician took some measurements (BTW- your new estimated weight is 7.5 lbs) but could not find a pocket of amniotic fluid big enough for the needle. I have plenty of fluid, just not in a big enough space away from you, the placenta, or the cord. Doctor Davis decided that it wasn't worth the risk to have the procedure done right at this moment. What he recommended is that we be referred to Maternal Fetal Care in the hospital and they will try to repeat the test either this afternoon or Monday. Now, I wait for their office to open and my Doctor's office will schedule an appointment. It's just such a let down. I considered the fact that you might not be ready, but I never thought that we wouldn't have the chance to find out. And so the waiting game continues......
I love you,
Mom
