Cookin' a little longer
Today we got some very good but frustrating news. Our neurologist got our last ultrasound results and decided that it would be okay to put off the delivery until 36 weeks. There has been some growth but seems to be in a stabilized hydrocephalus stage. Her right ventricle has started to grow larger than the left which is a cause for concern but they will keep a close eye on that. We've been told that 36 weeks is the longest we'll go but it could still be sooner based upon ultrasound findings. She finally turned and is head down so the plan is to induce during the week of March 17th. (Happy Birthday Cayson, you get a new sister!) Now instead of having a baby on Feb 21st I'll be going in for another ultrasound and meeting with the perinatologist. Its very frusterating dealing with so many doctors and trying to coordinate everything but I think after today they will all be doing a better job communicating with eachother. I am glad that we get to wait, for her sake but sad because I am so excited to see her. But I know that its best for her to cook a little longer just as long as its not effecting the brain situation. Until then its weekly ultrasounds, another fetal MRI, and Dr's appointments. I am excited though, I get to experience pregnancy a little longer! I love feeling her move, she's an active little thing! I could live without the backaches and heartburn though. All in all I think it was good news.
