We had our final check-in with Karen, our midwife, this morning. In routine tests, the baby's heartrate was strong, but its movement a little sluggish (like Shergar, the baby tends to sleep all morning and become active towards the late afternoon).
As a precaution, Karen recommended an additional set of tests, one of which found that the fluid surrounding the baby was at a lower level than would be ideal. It was decided that Kelly should be admitted to the labor and delivery unit today instead of tomorrow.
Mary and I spent the day with Kelly as she checked in, got hooked up to various monitors and IVs, and settled down for the night. We will return in the morning to prepare for Kelly to be induced with Pitocin. She is doing remarkably well and is in good spirits.
After many months of waiting, we should soon be parents. Tomorrow will be a climactic day.
