So, here I am sitting at home.
After a tortuous amnio test (yes, it was very painful),
we got the results tonight.
His lungs are under developed and the Docs want to wait until next Thurs.
That is Dec. 30th.
Let's just say, I am in shock! Even this morning the Dr. made it sound like it was an absolute go. She was very surprised when the results came back negative.
Let's just say, I have cried a lot. I was emotionally ready to be done and meet him.
It's pretty hard to back track.
But, I know it will be when it is supposed to be and so I am trusting.
It's just hard at the moment.
I am just going to lay low until then....
Thanks everyone for your prayers and thoughts!

oh sweetie...i am SO sorry! That was always my greatest fear in having them so early. I promise you though that he is better off inside you than in the NICU...don't mess with those lungs! Hugs to you!
Totally frustrating!
On the flipside, like you and others I'm sure have said, you will be SO grateful for these next few days for his health. ANd just think?! No day-before-Christmas birthday parties for the rest of your life! After is SOO much better!
Hopefully before the new year though for insurance purposes, right? In anycase, he'll come when he's ready and he will be just perfect! I can't wait to see him!
Thinking of you!
I'm so sorry Lis! You are probably feeling overdue. And I'm sorry the test was painful:( But it will be so worth it. You don't want to have to deal with your baby in the hospital for a couple weeks. And when it is all over you won't even remember that you had to wait. love you tons!
When I was preggo with the boys they scheduled my C-sec and then re-scheduled because the hospital was full...I cried and cried....Hell hath no fury like a preggo woman ready to deliver.
I agree with Jourdan though..it will be fun to have a bday after Christmas....I will be praying for you...I sure do love you...rest up...soon you will have 3 BOYS!
hang in there. you always do what's best for your kids. :)
Hang in there Lisa! Like so many have already said, this is totally hard, but is going to be a good thing. You are in my prayers. Get a good cry out and then bask in the joy of your last Christmas with your family as it currently is. Enjoy every precious moment.
