Contractions
Kristi seems to be having a strange pattern of contractions. Earlier this morning, it was every 4 minutes for about 20 minutes or so and then reduced to something like every 8 minutes. Not sure what the deal is. Waiting for the OB to call back.

Another Sonogram
We just got back from the hospital. We had another sonogram. This time it was a BPP. It was meant to check the health of the baby in light of all of the recent issues we have been having.
We found out that Philomena is now 5 lbs. 9 oz. A good size for a growing baby! Also, the amniotic fluid continues to be in plentiful supply. As a matter of fact the measurement has increased each time it has been taken the last three days.
Apparently, everything is fine. Still no definitive explanation of the leaking. The outlook right now is to watch everything and see what happens. If the pattern persists as it has been it will be business as usual. If there are changes then we will have to investigate further. But as of now there is plenty of amniotic fluid surrounding the baby and she is doing well.
We have an appointment with the OB tomorrow which was regularly scheduled. Any news we get I will post.
Hopefully we can both get some sleep tonight.

Another Late Night at the Hospital
We arrived home late from the hospital again. This time we spent about three or four hours in a hospital room getting the same tests done as we did last night.
We found out that there is more amniotic fluid now than there was yesterday. Also the tests for leakage keep coming up negative.
As you can imagine, it is very frustrating not to have many answers. We are going for sonogram tomorrow which will hopefully check on the health of Philomena. We think that she is fine and all indications are that that’s the case.

Just Got Back From The Hospital
So, we went into the labor and delivery at the hospital on recommendation of the doctor. Kristi has been seeing a little bit of leakage. It could be amniotic fluid. The tests were negative tonight, but they seem to be thinking that there is a good chance that she has a “high leak.”
It appears that Kristi is dilated 1 cm and is 80% effaced.
The doctor does not think that she will go the full 40 weeks. Whenever Philomena is ready to join us, we are ready.
We’ll keep you up-to-date. Check here for updates.
