It's 11:45 am and the amnio is complete and being processed in the lab. As the nurse described it, they withdrew some "baby pee" from Twin B and are testing it for a chemical that indicates lung development. They want the levels to come back between 50 and 100. She also explained that they typically try to draw from the larger baby because the smaller baby knows delivery can happen anytime. The larger baby gets "lazy" so lung development sometimes doesn't happen as rapidly.
I was put on the monitors again and they started an IV - which is good because I haven't eaten since last night (turkey with Swiss on rye with string beans and baked Lays). At least I got some greens down!
Ok, the nurse just came in and said my levels were 76.7 - so looks like it's going to be Twinkie time tonight!
