just because the timer has popped doesn't mean the turkey is done...

Oh the frustration. We went in to the hospital this morning for an amniocentesis to check Liam's lung maturity. We were all set for having the c-section today but the results of the first test came back as "transitional" which means neither yes nor no. We waited ever so impatiently for another forty minutes for the results of the second test only to find out that Liam just isn't quite ready to leave the comfort of the womb. We're back on for the original plan with the c-section scheduled for this Friday, September 4th. It was positively heartbreaking thinking that I was going to be holding my baby this afternoon and instead be told that he's not quite ready. Many prayers that Liam will be a patient little boy and wait until his scheduled arrival on Friday since we now know that his lungs are not quite ready. I've been contracting semi-regularly for the last week and a half and he dropped this past Monday. He's definitely thinking about coming out and I was more than ready to let him until we found out today that he isn't really ready yet. Hopefully he'll have the sense to stay in until Friday. Needless to say I'll be sitting on my tush for the next five days as much as my guys will let me.
