Awaiting Her Arrival

For those of you who have been wondering what the heck is happenin':

Our precious little Kami is still in my belly.
Last thursday I recieved a phone call from my doctor regarding the results of my ultrasound. I was told that Kami's birth weight is low; weighing only 4 pounds 10 ounces. And my amniotic fluid level was also low; measuring at a seven when I should be at an eight or more. So I was sent back up to the hospital for an NST (Non-Stress Test: which is where they hook toco's to my belly to record fetal movements, her heart rate, and if I'm contracting) and AFI (which is an ultrasound to document the amniotic fluid volume). With the NST everything looked wonderful, Kami was extremely active, as usual, and her heart rate was fluxuating accordingly. When they took another look at the amniotic fluid level, the numbers were still the same as the ultrasound conducted earlier.
On Friday, I had an early morning appointment with my provider where we discussed the concerns of Kami having a low birth weight and the low amnotic fluid. The concern was that she may not be recieving the nutrients she needs inside the womb and may recieve better care if I were induced. From here, they decided to send me to Bethesda, National Naval Medical Center, to have Kami and I evaluated by a high-risk obstetritian; that appointment will be tomorrow and they will conduct a sonogram that will be able to measure her BBP (a Biophysical Profile: which evaluates fetal movement, fetal breathing, and level of amniotic fluid) along with another NST, to develop an accurate assessment of her fetal well-being.
On Sunday after church, we drove up to Bethesda to have another NST/AFI done. The NST looked great, as usual, though the monitor was picking up my minor regular contractions; I'm assuming they are just Braxton Hicks because they haven't become stronger. As for the AFI, the results came back with me having 13.5 level of amniotic fluid, which is an insaine increase from Friday (this is a good thing, if the test was accurate).
Today I feel like I'm "nesting," I've scrubbed the bathtub, shower, and toliet in our bathroom. Completed the dishes, threw some food in the crock pot, and doing laundry. Whenever Kami decides to get here we are all ready and patiently awaiting her arrival.
Nikholi talked to my mom today on the phone and said, "We're having a baby! I'll call you later. Bye." It was so cute! He's finally started to associate my belly with his new little sister. :)
