Precautions

Yesterday Papa Tigger and I went for our 36-week check. There's good news and not so good news. Let's start with the good news.

The good news is that Tilly is 6 pounds, 2 ounces. Though the sonogram isn't exact, it's great news that she's growing so well! She's also still heads-down, ready to go! And the technician even checked her head and informed us that she has hair:) She also passed her non-stress test.

The not so good news is that the amniotic fluid continues to drop. It's 9.7, which is still well above 5 but concerning because it's dropping and is following the same pattern as Tigger. Up until the point we delivered him, the fluid had been 11, 9, then 5.

So we've discussed with the doctor and decided to try bed rest to keep the fluid up and cook this one a little longer. We're also going back on Friday to check the fluid level, instead of waiting another week. We'll keep you posted!
