Answers to prayer.

This afternoon we had to go for another scan, as the amniotic fluid was very low on Tuesday and our consultant was quite concerned. We are booked in for a planned c-section on Tuesday, but this scan was to check we did not need to move it sooner.
Yesterday Nic had a strong feeling that we should be praying bigger prayers for healing this baby. We sent an email to a few people and this afternoon before we went for the scan some friends came around and prayed with us.

We went off to the appointment ( bags packed!) and saw our consultant who had arranged especially to see us and had the scan. The Amniotic fluid measurements were back up to normal which was fantastic. Our doctor was quite surprised, but obviously very pleased. It means that we will go ahead on Tuesday morning with the birth. The whole scan situation today was so different from normal (I am not normally the biggest fan of scan days!) Our doctor was very relaxed and spent ages trying to get a nice picture of her face for us. She actually got so carried away looking, we had to tell her to stop!

Our doctors passion for her job was really evident today, she seems to take a pleasure in looking at our baby as a whole, not just her problems.
She will not be doing the operation, but has said she is around if we need her.

So we have a few more days of peace, time to finish the DIY ( Nic) and put our feet up ( Kathy) before we meet her.
