Today we went for our weekly appointment with our OB and also follow up for our growth scan. It was a really good appointment and we left there feeling much better than we have in a looong time! The girls hearts were a beating away and we spent quite a bit of time talking to the Dr and asking her a lot of questions. She took the time to answer each of them in detail and she was sooooooooo excited that we have made it to 32 weeks!!! Our next goal is 36 weeks which would be awesome for the girls!!! Of course she did an exam and I am 50% effaced, however I am not dialated at all. Unless anything crazy happens we will go back in next week for another check.
As far as the brain situation that showed up this week on the growth scan with Makenzie...she explained to us that basically it could be fluid on the brain and they would have to put a shunt in to drain it when she is born, but if it is fluid it is at the best level that it could be. It was a lot of big words and details, but she truly did not seem concerned. We are going to keep a close eye on it and will most likely have another scan within the next two weeks to check the girls growth and especially to check on Makenzie.
Overall today was great...I am sure some of you are thinking how can you say that when there is something that could be wrong?! Of course we are clearly concerned for Makenzie, but the fact that it was barely outside of the normal range and has not shown up before on anything our Dr's do not see any reason to think there is truly something wrong or to freak out and get worked up over it...so we are not going to. No matter what we know God is in control and will take care of our sweet girls and it is all going to be ok. Other than that the Dr seemed so positive and we are just feeling so blessed to have made it this far. Of course we want to go much farther, but considering at 22 weeks I went into pre-term labor and have not had smooth sailing since then; we are so excited to be where we are and know that each day the girls get bigger and stronger and more developed. We would appreciate your continued prayers and support especially for the girls continued growth and development from head to toe, everything to be ok with Makenzie's brain, and for Carl and I! Thank you all so much!!! XOXO
