Heather is at the hospital!

We arrived at the hospital this morning at 7am to do our amnio test to determine whether the baby's lungs are mature enough to go through a cesarean within a couple of days. After quickly filling out some paper work, they took us to triage to prepare for the test. Dr. Larussa greeted us and with the help of the sono tech, they were soon doing the procedure. The first part of the test came out positive and now they are monitoring my contractions and the baby's heartbeat. They also have me hooked up to an IV to help hydrate me to keep the contractions down. The nurses have been super nice to us offering tea and coffee and giving me a nice warm blanket that came out of the dryer to help keep me warm. We are now in a private room for the time being and we are just waiting to hear whether Dr. Larussa would like to do the cesarean tonight or tomorrow morning. Stay tuned....
