Hi guys
just wanted to drop a line and ask for a GIF party
We're 30 weeks today!! WOOT WOOT!! The MFMs have confirmed that we're "stable" and holding the course. His NSTs have become more encouraging (showing more variability) but I'm definitely experiencing Braxton Hicks which are a little uncomfortable (and sometimes I don't even know I'm experiencing them except that they show up in the NSTs). Met with the neonatologist who didn't like talking "stats" but confirmed that Elliott is at a good place. Although the risks of ROP (eye problems) and IVH (brain bleed) are still there, Elliott is definitely in a better place now than he was 3 weeks ago.
The plan is to maintain and keep him cooking. DH is sleeping over tonight and I got the clear from the MFMs (with the usual caveats/warnings) that I can eat sushi (well sashimi bc of the carb watching) - SOOO excited!!
I'm keeping it short and simple. Although it's still "day by day," the next major goal is 32 weeks - let's do this!
