Two week sentence

I just received a two week sentence... In other words, we are not having the baby tomorrow. I had my amnio this morning and the lungs are not quite the numbers they want to see (baby got a 32 and they like to see at least a 38). The kicker is that they are estimating him at about 6lbs 6oz from the detailed ultrasound measurements, so we have a big kid with small lungs.

In case you're interested, below is the "scoring" for lung development - again our little man got a 32:

Immature 10-40 (our hosptial's cut off is 38)
Intermediate 40-50
Mature to full term >50

I'll write more later when I'm not so upset (upset only because being in the hospital this long is miserable!!!), but I wanted to let those of you who follow this know...
