I had my ultra sound with the specialist today. The verdict is that I do indeed have extra fluid floating around in my belly. 5cm-23cm is normal and I measured at 29cm. The Doc says that he still considers this a mild case but that it's still important to find out the cause because there is a potential of pulminary problems during birth. The baby's measurements are great except for his belly. It's a little bigger than what it should be so they want me to do another glucose test. The Doc studied his heart for some time and from what he could see it appears to be fine but there were parts of the heart he couldn't see so I have the pleasure of having another ultra sound with another specialist. He will look at his heart again to make sure nothing was missed and then we will go from there.
So, the run down is this, we still don't know why there is extra fluid so we are on the case to solve the mystery. I'm hoping his heart checks out fine and we find out why his belly is larger than normal. The Doc doesn't seem to be worried but I can't help but feel a little overwhelmed.

Don't worry to much Winsor. Everything will be ok. The Lord will provide.
I'm thinking about you! <3 I'll be praying for you and for Baby Smith! LOVE!
Keep us updated...
Hey Heather. I wasn't aware of any of this. Give us a call as soon as you hear anything. We love you guys and miss you.
Keep you chin up and remember that Father Knows and will take care of everything. I cant wait to hear when you next ultrasound is. I have talked to Shiela and she says come here and they will set you up with a neonatalogist(sp) and get him here if a amnio shows that his lungs are ready.
Love you sis, you are doing a great job.
