33w1d

Just a quick post to basically report that nothing has changed. Doppler was essentially the same as before, so Miss Lydia is holding completely steady at this point. Yay! All of the other measurements and such on the BPP were perfect, and we had a completely perfect NST as well.

Dr. Wall took some blood to test for choleostasis, but said that it probably wouldn't change our delivery timeline even if that's what it is (and my symptoms aren't quite right, so it may very well just be something else more benign). That was a relief since I would've been so annoyed if my gallbladder issues ultimately ended up causing us to have to deliver early! Talk about random.

So, we're still just plodding along. I have another BPP/NST on Thursday (don't expect a change), followed by another one next Monday (same), and then the big growth scan next Wednesday. Dr. Wall is still sure that we're going to see reduced growth next Wednesday and that it will be enough to push us toward delivery, but I'm not sure. These girls really seem to be growing to me. I thought so last time and their growth was fine. Considering that next week's growth scan will be 34w3d, I think that we might make it close to 36 weeks at this point. If the dopplers are holding and growth is still ok, there really doesn't seem to be a reason to deliver, even at 35 weeks.

A lot can happen between now and then, but we're definitely moving into a pretty safe area. It feels wonderful.
