Could be it...

Gabriele may be arriving sooner than we expected. Yesterday she passed her BPP within 15 minutes, showing off again! We showed a little area of concern though. They also watch her blood flow on a weekely basis. Last week she passed with a doppler reading of 3.0, that is considered the border line for high risk. High risk meaning she is not getting enough blood flow to her brain and heart. If it gets any higher they take extra precautions. Well this week it was 3.8. The reason they watch this so close is because it causes unnecessary stress which could potentially cause a still born birth. So we are going in tomorrow to repeat the test. If it stays the same or is any higher they will admit me and we will induce. We definitely are concerned but we have such an amazing team of doctors that we feel confident she will come out just fine. Jason and I have mixed emotions about her coming tomorrow, but we both agree the sooner she arrives the sooner we can get answers to all the unknown. If we do induce I will be 36 1/2 weeks, 37 weeks it considered full term so we are not concerned as far as her development. Besides I think she is ready to show off in the real world anyways. We truly appreciate all the thoughts and prayers from each of you. It is such a blessing to be surrounded by so much love and support... Thanks!
