We made it through the weekend...almost!

Hello everyone!
  I'm happy to report that the weekend is almost done, and we are still pregnant ;-)  It has been a busy/stressful weekend for our family with Tom busy hosting a bachelor party from thursday until today - but everything went well, and we are looking forward to our doctor's appointment tomorrow morning!
  Mom and Dad Grivna got a little dose of excitement last night with a quick (and luckily uneventful!) trip to the hospital!  I had been feeling like there was a possibility I was leaking fluid, and after calling my doctor, we decided it would be best to go into the hospital to get checked and make sure that my membranes hadn't ruptured.  Thankfully, the nurses at the hospital were wonderful, and were able to do a very quick and easy test to ensure that the fluid was NOT amniotic fluid!  Thank goodness!!  We spent about 40 minutes at the hospital all together, and then happily headed home to bed - glad that it had just been a false alarm.  As much as I thought everything was ok, I knew it was better to be safe than sorry - and with everything that we have been going through, I'm just not willing to take any risks!
   Tom was informed of everything as it was going on - and he was very concerned.  I was so happy when I could call him with the good news so that he could continue his evening and not worry anymore!
    We are really looking forward to our doctor's appointment tomorrow.  We have an ultrasound scheduled before our appointment to do some measurements of the baby as she has been measuring a little on the small side the past couple of weeks.  It will be fun to see her on the screen and see how big she really is!  It's hard to know if the measurements that the doctor takes in the office are very accurate (they really just measure the size of my belly!) because it all depends on the baby's position at the time of measurement....and a number of other things that I don't even know about.
   I will be sure to update the blog with our appointment information so that you can all stay up to date!  Thank you everyone for your continued love and support!  We are feeling very optimistic and happy about the way things are going!  This little girl has managed to stay put for a long time, and we feel so thankful for every day that she decides to stay where she belongs!
