So... I Had My Fetal Assessment...

This one will be short and sweet. I'll get back online later and REALLY update but I didn't want to leave everyone hanging about my fetal assessment which was this morning at 9 am. Turns out the "cyst" on the baby was..... can you guess??? HER BLADDER!!!! They were looking at the cyst and measuring it and all of a sudden AS SHE PEED it disappeared! It was HILARIOUS and I am SO relieved. The surgeon who stood in is wondering if perhaps she had another cyst that has since disappeared so she will have an ultrasound shortly after birth to confirm everything but she looks amazing. I got a picture which I'm going to scan even though it's hard to make her out. She is 5 pounds 1 ounce, so she's gaining weight at a CRAZY rate, which is excellent. She gained 1 pound and 1 ounce in 17 days so we are looking at about 7 pounds at birth which is just fine with me. They said today that her due date is now between August 6th and August 18th so I'll have to stay close to home until she gets here but I don't mind, considering how today went. I didn't sleep a WINK last night worrying about how it would go.

Alas my nesting instincts have kicked into overdrive and they had a baby shower for me last night so I now have a TON of things to pick through and organize. SO... I'm off to call Student Loan and then off to arrange my room and pack the baby's hospital bag. I'll update more later.

Love to you all and thanks for caring about me.
