The (Very) Latest

Well, we went in this morning after a restless night's sleep to be monitored. Dr. Kirsten said that my tape looked "iffy" and wanted to go ahead with the amnio. I was REALLY nervous, and I had to wait nearly a half hour, so that made the anxiety even worse. Well, it was over and done with in less than 15 second, and then all that was left to do was wait the four hours for the results. We went to BJs and got some lunch and then came home to try and relax. 

About 15 minutes ago, I got the call, and Avery's lungs are mature! She's ready to go, and I guess there's no going back now! We are supposed to go to labor and delivery at midnight, so now the waiting begins. Nate just ran to Blockbuster to get some movies and hopefully I can get a substantial nap in, as I feel like I'm going to need the energy. 

So, wish us luck! We are super excited and a teeny bit nervous for the 48 hours ahead, but the important thing is that by Monday all of the discomfort will be a distant memory and we'll have our little girl. We very much appreciate all of your calls, emails, and texts. Please pray for us as we start this journey!

Love, Brittany (and Nate too!)
