The Non-Update Update

We've come to expect it. There's a meeting or an appointment scheduled and it should produce a lot of answers to new questions. Then after it passes, no new information was really gained.

Today was the first scheduled doctor's appointment since we met T. We were anticipating this appointment since we first spoke. We were told we'd get a lot more information when she went to the doctor next. We'd know the status of the baby's health in there and maybe even narrow in on a delivery date. Not so much.

The great news is that T's experiencing normal symptoms and all is well with the baby. She will be scheduled for another ultrasound in the coming week. That ultrasound will tell us how big the baby is getting and whether or not she's in position to come on out and meet us.

We also learned that if she does deliver through a cesarean section, and she wants any of us in there, only one of us can be in the room with her. She said we'd have to arm wrestle to decide who gets to witness this miracle. Josh is coming up with some creative ways to lobby for position, but I'm standing my ground as well. Hopefully it will be a natural birth that we both get to experience!

The stats are that she's still at 1 cm and we're just going to have to sit tight for the next data set from the to-be-scheduled ultrasound. Mostly, we're just thrilled that she choses to update us as things happen.
