Sorry I've been a little MIA lately ladies - i've been trying to check in with mobile, but even that gets hard the last week or so...
Well, the good news was short lived again with Nugget. Last week appointments went well, and Nuggets mass was cooperating and remaining steady, which was great because my MFM was on vacation...
Well 8am appointment yesterday showed a ton of growth in the mass, doc didn't even do all the calcs before she came in to talk to me. Even I could tell it wasn't good during the U/S because the heart alone looked squished, the sonographer couldn't even get a good look at 4 chambers because the mass was pressing on it too much.
So she said she wanted to do a procedure right away.... Its so bad at first glance that she didn't even want to wait for today. Luckily, H doesn't work Mondays and he went with me that appt. so he is with me, and J was home with G&G (MIL on spring break). They were able to fit me in for a 12:30 procedure and I luckily ate a bagel at 6:15 so 6 hours of fasting was good... and they took me back around 1pm.
Not the way I wanted to spend my day, and luckily my day was pretty open anyway! Boo.
That said, the procedure went well, but she did place 2 separate shunts in my one visit to the OR. My fluid is a bit low and baby is bigger, so its harder to get a good placement and make sure then shunt is not outside of the uteran wall which one seemed to be a little, so hopefully when baby moves it goes with, and doesn't get yanked out.
I was definitely more sore since we did 2 pokes to the uterus, even if she went in the same cut, and I'm further along so that makes the uterus not so happy. I also had a little bout of minor contractions so instead of 4 hours of monitoring I had to stay longer and was there for 6 hours of monitoring.
I slept like crap last night because i kept getting these pangs of pain in my side, so today i stayed home and I'm trying to work from home as much as possible...
Let the saga continue....
