His lungs are now in the "transitional phase" according to my OB. She will not deliver tomorrow.
She is going to talk to Maternal Fetal Medicine tomorrow and determine a course of action from here. It may be deliver in 5 days it may be wait 7 days and do another amnio to see where to go.
As soon as we hear anything we will let everyone know.
Well i guess that one of two things it in play here. Either DH and I's original dates (making the due date June 25, not June 15th) were correct all along or he takes after his mommy. I was born 17 21 days early and ended up in the NICU for 10 days because my lungs were nowhere near ready. (Corrected the above per my mother's post. She told me wrong and, well, for some reason I don't remember it very well myself.)
Realistically, even if June 25th is the "real" due date, his lungs should still have been ready today. We would be at 37w1d today. Using their dates we are at 38w4d.
Its a little annoying but each day that passes we get more of the nursery done. We had nothing done a week and a half ago except putting the changing table together.

I got my preemies confused when I talked to you earlier. You were due on the 25th and Jeff was due on the 21st. So you were actually 21 days early and your brother was 17 days early. Either way you both racked up 10 days apiece in the NICU. Better to be a little annoyed.
Love ya,
Mom
