In Limbo!

On Friday I had my 3rd NST of the week and the baby was being super stubborn, she kept moving away from the monitor, and even though her heart rate was great (from 140's to 160's) she wasn't kicking much, so they zapped her a few times and then gave me a piece of cake (this is why I love my doc LOL) and got her moving a little more. I was told to stay on bed rest, take is easy all weekend and drink lots of water.
On Tuesday I go in for a Biophysical Profile and a Growth Scan at my regular Ob's office cause the perinatalogist is all booked and we'll see what the fluid and blood rate looks like.
If all of that goes well, on Thursday I have a regular OB appointment so they can check for progress (even though I'm happy to say my colostrum is already coming in) and Friday I go to the peri so he can tell me how soon I need to deliver.
That's if her activity level stays good. I've been doing my kick counts 3x a day, and so far so good, and I hope the steroid shots did their job for her lungs.
Please keep praying that this little girl stays strong.
