After a long day of sitting and waiting the high risk doctor came in around 3:15. The high risk doctor that was on today was the same lady from 2 weeks ago that would not perform the an amnio at that time because she was sure that the lungs were not developed. I cringed when she walked in the door because I knew she was going to try to get out of doing the amnio today. Of course I was right. She walked in and told me basically the same as two weeks ago. I was really upset and told her that I really wanted the test done today. I really thing she was flabbergasted by me saying that. I explained to her that my regular doctor had told us all week to decide between today and Wednesday for the amnio and we had decided on today. The high risk doctor did not want to do it until next Monday. After about 20 minutes of going back and forth she decided to leave the room and call my regular doctor. Dr. B was not on call since she worked this weekend so she had to speak with the other doctor. She and the regular doctor decided that it would be up to me whether or not to do the amnio today or next Monday but that another amnio was not going to be done. They told me that if the lungs are still immature today that induction will take place at 39 weeks, which is only 2 weeks away. The high risk doctor came back in my room after speaking with the regular doctor and told me about the conversation. I quickly told her I wanted the amnio done today and not next week. Again after about a 20 to 30 minute conversation and almost having to get ugly with her she left the room once again to get things ready for the amnio. After she was out of the room the nurse that I have today stayed with me for a few minutes talking to us. She reassured me that as long as I felt that everything was okay and I was good with having the amnio done today that I had made the right decision for our family. That really helped me get calmed down. The doctor then came back in the room and performed the amnio and told us the results would be back in about 4 hours. They did hook me up to the monitor like they always do after the amnio. Whether or not the lungs are mature we do not know at this point. I know that it has only been one week since the previous test was done but I also know that we serve a big God and that he has performed lots of miracles. I know that if God says that it is time for me to have our little boy that the test will come back with positive results and if God says it is not time the lungs will be immature. I also know that if the lungs are not developed and God says that it is time for him to come tomorrow then I will go into labor with him tomorrow. It is not up to me or the doctors when we will have this little boy, it is only up to God. I know God is taking care of us and will continue to take care of us. So, thank you for all the prayers and as soon as I know something I will update the blog again. Keep praying!
