Non-update Update

So I'm a little slow at this. :)
We had another visit at the U last week, and not much has changed which is oddly enough a good thing. It was on a Tuesday so Nate could actually tag along this time! He said it was fun to see how much things have changed. Usually my appointments down there are on Wednesdays, (that's when they schedule their "problem pregnancies") and those just don't work out easily for him. I'd rather not have both of us taking time off work all the time anyways until we really have to!
Anyways, it's difficult to really have any updates because I see different doctors every time I go there and they all have very different opinions... which is incredibly frustrating. This last doctor was kind of loopy and didn't seem to think that the one before him was spot on with everything. He doesn't think that baby will need to come extremely early- which would be great, and that I might not need a c-section if he stays in there long enough. But, baby is still small and while he is still growing, his weight is not quite what it should be. At the appointment he was about 1.5 lbs, which I was happy about but they didn't seem too impressed with.
We met with a neonatologist, and I actually liked him. He was cautiously optimistic about the heart defect and said he didn't believe that would be an immediate surgical need. We have another echo in a few weeks so he said hopefully there will be a better idea at that point. He seemed less concerned with everything than the doctors I have seen before, which is a really good thing, but I'm also not getting my hopes up because the news down there seems to change every two weeks.
They are still concerned with the fact that baby might have a "syndrome" so they are pushing me to get an amniocentesis done, and I finally agreed to- only if it's done later on. I have polyhydramnios (too much amniotic fluid) which is starting to make me uncomfortable so at some point I might give the go ahead to it just so they can suck some of that out! ;)
Quite awhile ago we made vacation plans, and those are quickly sneaking up on us! My doctors weren't so sure about it for awhile, but luckily they have given me the green light to go! Which is good, because it's a week and a half away! I'm extremely extremely excited, but seriously nervous at the same time. So I will be going to my normal doctor right before we leave to make sure everything is still fine, and for my sanity I hope it is! If not, Nate will be relaxing by an ocean for a week while I sit on the couch being very sad!
So, for an update this isn't very full of information.. but that's how our life goes these days! We really know nothing and aren't given much to go off of. I think I can share one of Nate's quotes while talking to the doctor at our last appointment, "Stop being so vague, it's really damn annoying." Ohh I love that boy.

So we have finally reached the 3rd and last leg of this cycle, and while I have not felt good the entire time, I feel like I got hit by a bus this week. I believe I have a foot somewhere under my right ribs, and have a hard time resisting the urge to flick it to get it the heck out of there. Owwww. As much as I try to be well-behaved, I feel badly for Nate having to put up with me :) Although, he gave me a cold this week so he deserves a little bit of hell for that one! Keep that poor boy in your thoughts and hope that he does not kill me. We're working on keeping our hopes up and relaxing a little bit, hopefully there will be more of an update next week! Thank you for all of your kind words up to this point, we really have some pretty awesome people in our lives, and that helps A LOT!
