Emily had an amnio reduction last night and they removed 2.5 liters of amniotic fluid (no, that's not a typo). They also removed 12 ounces of fluid from Benjamin's abdomen. He is now measuring 7.5 lbs.
Emily is doing well and experiencing minimal contractions and her heart rate is good. She will probably continue to stay in the hospital to be monitored until Ben is born. Because the fluid from Ben has been removed, the C-Section will be alot easier and it will be easier for Ben to take his first breath. They are still unsure what caused the fluid build-up in Ben.
All of this is great news! Continue to lift this sweet family in your prayers.
