First appointment of this week is over, and it was good. Actually. Delaney is still passing her nst's with flying colors and is still kicking up a storm. Her right kidney is still enlarged but is not moving up or down which is good. Her stomach is still up in her chest and her heart is still in the same position and squished. None of that has changed for like a month. The only thing that changed is the pressure in the cord went down some, it is now in the upper end of the normal range which is still concerning but a step in the right direction. The same with the fluid, which nothing was mentioned with the fluid at the last appointment so I have no real idea what that meant other than we're going in the right direction. Its a good thing I trust Dr. Blake or I would be so much more stressed. But she seems to know what she's doing and I am now, officially, at 34 weeks, which I had been told by some that I probably wouldn't make it to here. I'm doing my best to stay relaxed and calm even about the stressful things that happen in my daily life. I'm actually in a perfect time at work in a way just because its the state testing time. I'm only a monitor and am allowed to put my feet up while I watch the students. So I feel a bit more relaxed while at school. I've also been doing some gardening (nothing strenuous or large scale) which I think has helped me relax actually. I know it bothers some people to see me doing anything, my mom worries about everything I do right now, but I make sure to rest and put my feet up when I feel the need. And I don't see how planting some flowers is really all that bad. Like I said it actually helps me feel better, it takes my mind off all the other worries and junk that tend to go on in my life. I know the next couple weeks are going to be a bit rough with lots of appointments, and the one I am actually the most nervous about , with the neonatalogist on the 29th, but I think I'm doing okay so far.
