I hope this means you are able to relax a bit more.
In doing my research on IUGR, I noticed that the tests you are going through are the same ones they use to monitor that + pre-e. So I wonder if they are worried about that, just not telling you?
And how's the toddler? I hate it when they are sick, it makes me feel so bad since they can't understand why they feel that way. Plus I hate being up at night--especially this preggo!

Toddler is fine. Honestly, I don't think she would have a clue that she was sick if I hadn't told her she had a fever!

She was up all night, but not cranky, just AWAKE. I have no idea why, but she was in my bed so I was AWAKE that entire time, too!

I know we had two of the symptoms of IUGR, the low fluid and growth dropped off to 17% so I am positive that's what they were watching for. The BP didn't raise until after the fact. I hope it stays down now that we've got some of the things straightened out. Not positive I'll hear from the MW today, just depends on how long that birth lasts. Another bright side of not seeing her today is that I had my birth plan done, but mostly with the induction and a possible c-section worry so it's not the birth plan that I would choose otherwise. I'll make my REAL one this week and bring it next week to go over. I'm positive I won't have him before then!

I KNOW they discussed inducing before 40 weeks previously just based on the distance from the hospital and my quick labors, plus being my 5th so I don't think (if they have a say, which I doubt I'll allow) that they'll want me to go to 42 weeks, anyway. As long as babe and I are doing fine, though, I see absolutely no reason to force him out sooner. I'll just see how things continue and go from there.

The thought that I may still end up with my water birth is pretty darn exciting, though, I must admit!
