Please pray for our baby boy, for wisdom for my doctors, for me.
My OBs have been monitoring my fluid level for a few weeks because of my history of low fluid leading to inductions with Beatrix and Joel. I was referred to a Maternal-Fetal Medicine doc a week ago, where my fluid was low-normal, but she wanted me to have ultrasounds once a week until the fluid was rising or stable.
At today’s appointment, my fluid had dropped to 9, which is just under the normal scale my docs use (10-25). I had a NST for an hour, which showed the baby wasn’t being reactive. At all. So I was sent to L&D where I was monitored for two hours. He perked up to their satisfaction, so they sent me home.
I am supposed to drink a ton and rest a ton. We were supposed to go to my parents’ house in Grand Junction today. They are coming here for Thanksgiving instead.
This is a familiar road, but it is starting MUCH earlier than it did with Beatrix. This scares me. I am scared.
I’m praying for you.

Philippians 4:6-7 –Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
I know how impossible it is to “not be anxious” in our own strength. I can be a very anxious person. I’m praying today for the protection of your sweet little one. I’m also praying for God in His abundant grace to grant you with that amazing peace that truly does transcend ALL understanding.
