Well on Tuesday this week I had a major baby scare and my husband rushed me to the hospital after several hours of almost no fetal movement. Well the doctors quickly did an ultrasound and some blood tests and after some Q and A we discovered I had not been consuming enough calories or drinking enough water for the baby. In addition, my iron and thyroid levels have significantly dropped. Now I am on a much stricter food routine and the baby is doing much better.
After our dramatic week Michael got called into meet with his CO and suddenly they are convinced it is important for him to be here for the birth.... Really? Isn't this what we have been trying to tell them? Anyway, I am so thankful they were able to work out a schedule where Michael would go with them and train for a week or two and then head back a week before the due date and hopefully be here when our little man meets this big old world.
No one can say that the Army life is boring and I wish this kind of organization was rare. However, now that we are on this side I am just thankful that an understanding was met. I cannot imagine going through labor without my husband by my side.
