Okay, so first...I went to the doctor yesterday and like I figured, they couldn't really tell us much of anything new. BUT, there was good news. I got to watch her practice breathing on the ultrasound which almost made me cry. It was beautiful and for some reason just really struck me. There has been no change really in her diagnosis. Her stomach is still up, her heart is still squished, and she is still a little smaller than average. She has grown though, and the doctor actually seemed excited about this. She grew enough to actually move up in percentiles. Which I didn't fully understand except that she GREW! She is now 1 lb 11 oz which is still below average, but the doctor kept saying that it was good growth. The other thing the doctor said that seemed so positive was that Delaney doesn't seem to be aware that anything might be wrong. She seems strong and normal, and completely unstressed. I am actually on an emotional high part right now. It seemed like such good news, so much more reassuring than all the other appointments. The only downside really, is that now that I'm starting my third trimester, I have to go see the specialist every week. And that's in addition to my regular OB visits and meeting with the neonatalogists at the hospital. Its tiring just thinking about it. But I'm in the home stretch now.
