You Are Making Mommy NERVOUS!

Dear Baby Bean-

I have tried not to let my concern about you show too much over these past 34 weeks but I think it is time that you and I have a little talk.  I went to see Dr. Losure today for your second biophysical profile and, instead of things running smoothly, he has yet ANOTHER concern.  Apparently your amniotic fluid levels are low which is ANOTHER reason to worry.  He said that your levels went from 14 two weeks ago to just over 6 today.  Because of this, he sent me to the hospital to make sure that said fluid is not leaking out.  Everything ended up being OK, but this new development means that he wants to do biophysical profiles TWICE a week instead of once.  You are giving me a heart attack, Bean.

Please, please, PLEASE just keep yourself healthy in there.  I know you probably don't have that much control over it, but we really need you to create some more fluid (in Tenley's terms, Baby Bean needs to go pee pee) so that you can stay in.  I'm afraid that if you don't, you are going to have to come out early and you could really use another few weeks to develop in my tummy.  I have tried to stay calm about all of this but you are really scaring me!

We will go and see Bernie tomorrow and visit Dr. Losure again on Friday.  As long as everything is still ok, we will be traveling to Grandma Cindy and Grandpa Rand's house this weekend for Mother's Day.  Nothing would make this Mommy happier than you being healthy!  I love you so much, Bean- just hang in there for a little longer...please!
