Kristi has been checked by the maternal/fetal specialist this morning. They did an ultrasound on her and there is no cyst on the left side. The one on the right that gave her problems 2 weeks ago has grown another cm...now up to 9cm...that's nearly 4 inches! The baby is NOT in position as was told last night...she is breach at this point but the dr said she can still turn. They did an amnio on Kristi to see if Alivia's lungs were ok. We should know about lunchtime today. If they are properly developed, they may attempt to turn Alivia, induce Kristi or possible have c-sect. Again...we are in wait and see mode. Will post more when we have more news.

UPDATE: From Jo about 11am
The maternal/fetal specialist came back...he's talked to ob/gyn and they are in agreement that with the size of the cyst and potential to rupture, they will not attempt to turn Alivia. There are just too many variables right now and none are good. If they induce and she doesn't turn, you're looking at an emergency c-sect. If they try to turn her, may rupture cysts and have another emergency situation to deal with. If we wait and do nothing, wait for labor to begin on own, no guarantee that she will turn and it could end up being a c-sect. Is it worth it to wait and end up an emergency or should you decide to go for the c-sect so it's not in an emergency environment and there is a little more control on the part of the doc's?

No results yet on the amnio.

Decisions...decisions...


UPDATE #2...12:45
A c-sect is being scheduled. No time set yet.


OH...
Kristi's cousin Keyla had her baby Saturday evening. She's a month early and weighed 4lbs, 10oz and 17 inches long. She's beautiful. Here's a pic.

This is NOT Kristi's baby...it's her cousins new baby!

Congrats Keyla and Cory on your beautiful baby girl.
