Haley finally got a shower!

This morning Haley went to meet with the Perinatologist and have an ultrasound done of the baby. The baby is doing fine and he actually weighed more than we thought; he came in at 4 lbs 11 ounces, awesome! The Dr. said that they wanted to wait until Haley was 34 weeks before they start labor. But, she said that if Haley starts on her own they will not stop it. The only major concern is the risk of infection, if there is a sign of it they will start her. So, we are playing the waiting game. The good thing about having the baby stay longer, is that everyday he is in the womb is about two days less in the NICU (Newborn Intensive Care Unit). The baby has received the full benefit from the two steroid shots, he is a good weight, and he is practicing breathing right now in the womb. So, all these things added up means he will likely have a short stay in the NICU. The other good news is that Haley does not need to be on the monitors 24/7, nor does she have to be on the I.V. any longer. They even said she could shower and wear her clothes. So, as soon as we got back to her room Haley ran into the shower. She put on her clothes and put on make-up. Again, we are just waiting for our little guy to say, "I am ready!"
