Not exactly what i wanted to hear!!

So yesterday we went into the doctors to get a fun scan, which is a 3D-4D ultrasound. We were so excited to finally get to see baby Lux, since the last ultrasound i had was at 20 weeks. Which i am currently a 32 and a half weeks along. Anyways we got there and of course the waiting room was CROWDED! i really have never seen so many pregnant ladies crammed in a waiting room before, it was kind of funny, but also really hot at the same time. Anyways the ultrasound tech was way behind so we ended up waiting an hour after our appointment was scheduled before we got in. The wait wasn't that bad though, because we invited jarrett's parents to come see the ultrasound since they are way excited for their granddaughter to be there and they kept us entertained. So once we finally get in there we all get situated and the technicians begins our ultrasound. At first she was really quiet and just kept moving the thing over my belly, but then she asked me "How much water have you been drinking?" Um first thing that went through my mind was "o no what is wrong with my little girl?!?" i looked at her and told her that i have been drinking around 5-6 water bottles a day and a couple Gatorade too. She just smiled at me and said that she would be right back because it looked like my fluid levels were a little low. Of course as soon as she left the room, i started crying! i don't cry so jarrett knew that i was really worried!! so while the tech went to get our doctor jarrett and his parents tried to cheer me up and lighten the mood. I won't lie it did not really work, but i really appreciate their efforts and realize that they were just trying to help me relax. The tech and doctor Lunt walk back in the room, and of course doctor Lunt smiles and acts like everything is okay, but obviously something is wrong or he would not have been there. He then sat down and went on the explain that my fluid levels were low. He said that they were only measuring at a 6 and they were suppose to be measuring at a 10 or more. He then went on to tell me that he wasn't extremely concerned though because she was growing normal and her heartbeat was great. He told me that i shouldn't worry but i was already crying, so he smiled and said " That even though he says not to worry it is a mother instinct to worry and that everything is going to be alright i just need to RELAX!" So what exactly did he mean by relax?? He went on to tell me that i wasn't allowed to leave the couch or my bed to do ANYTHING, except go to the bathroom, which i would be doing a lot because i was also to make sure that i drink a gallon at the least a day of water. He said that i have been doing way to much and that is probably why my levels are low. He then went on to reassure me that everything is going to be okay, and that we would measure my levels again next week before my appointment. Also he said if worse comes to worse and my levels were lower next week, at least we have made it to 33 weeks and she would be in good hands if she had to be delivered early, but of course we would prefer that she stay in as long as she can!! After talking to doctor Lunt of course i felt a little better and a little more assured, but i still was stressing, which was something else i was suppose to be avoiding, but he understood.
Anyways we ended up leaving the appointment without any pictures of our angel, and with me being on bed rest. Not ideal, but i have to do what i have to do to make sure she is okay. She means everything to us and if it means that i have to be a lazy bum and be catered too by everyone then i guess i will suffer doing it :] ha most people would love this, but if you know my i hate having to sit for longer than an hour, specially when i feel like there is nothing really wrong with me, but inside there actually is!

So no i guess i have no reason to not update this thing often, cause i will have nothing else to do! But anyways that was our not so expected trip to the doctors. Hopefully next week we have good news to hear and that i will be able to actually get off my bum and do things, but until then the couch and remote will be my new best friends!! Don't be to jealous!!! :]
