As I mentioned last week, I have a lot of excess amniotic fluid - more than twice the normal levels. We have decided to go ahead and have Dr. Rowe do a decompression tomorrow afternoon which is basically to drain off the excess fluid. This should make me much more comfortable and will hopefully allow for me to carry the baby to almost 37 weeks for the scheduled c-section on 8/27. Besides the fact that I feel like I have broken ribs, or what I imagine that must feel like, the Dr. thinks that my water may break before then if we don't release some of the pressure from the fluid. This is an outpatient procedure in the hospital. So, we should be back home tomorrow evening.
As always, thank you to our many friends and family and those out there whom we don't even know who are praying for us.

Karen,
We continue to keep you in our prayers. We will say extra prayers to help you through this procedure today. You are such an inspiration to many of us! We love you.
I just saw Troy and told him that Baby Z is expecting Lupe Tortilla after the procedure. I hope that it is not too uncomfortable and that you feel immediate relief. You know I am thinking of you. Love, Julie
