Baby news...Ethan news...

We may get Miss Emily *slightly* sooner than planned...almost got to have her today, in fact. At least, the nurses thought they'd be sending me over...

Her amniotic fluid (or is that MY amniotic fluid??) is getting low, and just to make sure things were A-OK, they hooked me up to the fetal monitor. She was totally unresponsive for the first 40 minutes or so of the NST monitoring, so they buzzed her and pissed her off and finally got the reaction they were looking for.

So I got off the hook for today, but the doc said if the amniotic fluid volume drops much more, we would "have to reevaluate the possibility of an earlier delivery...." Keep your fingers crossed for us!

Ethan is still as sick as a dog, poor kiddo :( He sat like a slug on the couch ALL DAY today and watched who knows how many episodes of SpiderMan, BatMan, Scooby Doo, Spongebob, etc.... He really is feeling rotten. And they didn't give him an antiviral, since his flu test was inconclusive. We've been alternating tylenol and motrin every four hours for 2 full days now, and his fever has only dropped below 101 one time. Eric said that it registered as normal (98.8) at the doctor's office Sunday morning, but when he got home I dug out a huge chunk of soft earwax, so I bet that his temp. reading was probably affected by that blocking the signal for the little ear thermometer thing. He had a fever of over 102 only an hour after returning from the doctor, so I think it'd be a bit weird if it ONLY dropped to normal during that small timeframe while he was at the doctor's office.

Will keep you all posted on both fronts! Love to all :)
