It's great news that you've still got fluid and that Acorn is growing. 834 grams is larger than my J was at birth. I know that doesn't really mean anything but it makes me feel hopeful for your little one. <br /><br />I hope that you can avoid a vertical incision if you have a C section and, preferably, little Acorn will change position and you can avoid a C section of any description.<br /><br />Is dolicocephaly the same thing as what my doctor fondly calls 'preemie head'? Or something different? <br /><br />I can sympathise, sometimes comparatively 'minor' issues, such as looking cute, are just the final straw. That last small worry is just too much? I'm sure Acorn will take after his or her big brother, Aidan, and be very cute indeed. xCatherine Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01618295389400457254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-79487231674965887222011-06-03T11:59:47.523-04:002011-06-03T11:59:47.523-04:00Still here and reading and rootin-tootin you and A...Still here and reading and rootin-tootin you and Acorn on! So glad that Eeyore's slight optimism translates into tangible optimism and even if you aren't feeling it yet, I think the rest of us are. <br /><br />I do think of you and Acorn often. It's odd since I'm so connected to your story and it's only via the internet. Thank you again for your courage in being so open and sharing. <br /><br />I agree with other posters. Take one worry at a time. It always sucks that normal pregnancy concerns are stripped away from us babyloss moms. I can't tell you how jealous I am of friends who whimper about their birth plans going awry at the last minute. My birth plan=live, healthy baby. But I agree with you in that I wouldn't want a vertical incision for myself.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11246142239742915169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-8384759019947212062011-06-03T09:11:51.112-04:002011-06-03T09:11:51.112-04:00Overall it sounds positive!!!

So what. You do what you need to do and deal with the consequences. I agree that a transverse incision is desirable, but take it one day at a time, if vertical need be, then worry about the lack of vbac options. For now, your uterus is not cut and you don't have to decide anything. Plus Acorn might turn.MrsHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18277631338883839373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-66997308527654896752011-06-02T23:53:32.987-04:002011-06-02T23:53:32.987-04:00There is hope in your voice today, even if you don...There is hope in your voice today, even if you don't see it. And this makes me happy.<br />We're all here for you. Cheering you and Acorn on all the way.<br />Keep holding on, Mama. I think you're amazing. I'm only a little bit ahead of you with my pregnancy, and because of all I've read here in the past few months, I am appreciating this far more than I would have - not that I'm someone to take this special blessing for granted anyway.<br />xo<br />xoHope's Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984543289642681339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-67938531030542957032011-06-02T23:40:20.466-04:002011-06-02T23:40:20.466-04:00I also always have to have c-sections due to the t...I also always have to have c-sections due to the transabdominal cerclage. I don't have a heart condition to worry about, but it did freak me out a bit. However, as others said...I'll take it over having any more babies slip out!<br /><br />I am SO glad the doctor is starting to express some positivity - knock on wood. <br /><br />Honestly, even "weird" looking babies are cute to me, which is somewhat new since my loss. I have a feeling that no matter what people will think Acorn is adorable. <br /><br />And SERIOUSLY YAY for having fluid!! That's such a continued good sign. <br /><br />Go lung development, go!Larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14724675337980390322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-62672602809311011582011-06-02T22:16:30.260-04:002011-06-02T22:16:30.260-04:00Since I had the fetal surgery with Liam I will alw...Since I had the fetal surgery with Liam I will always have to have c-sections and it freaks me out. I knew that was how it was going to be before surgery but I also expected to have a living child in the end.<br />Glad to hear you got some positive feedback from the doctor today and that acorn is doing well. Hopefully the head will go back to normal also.<br />Thinking of you always:)Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11917822168137274298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-35695092510440960112011-06-02T19:38:56.627-04:002011-06-02T19:38:56.627-04:00I'm glad the doctor is finally sounding more p...I'm glad the doctor is finally sounding more positive.

I was just thinking about you. <br /><br />I am so happy that Dr. Eeyore had a little spring in his step for you today. <br /><br />I hope I don't irritate you too much with all my positivity and sunshine right now but the sun IS shinning and the birds ARE singing (literally outside my window) and April 29 (5 short weeks ago) you were asking people where to buy micro preemie clothes to (possibly) bury Acorn in. Today??? Not so much!!<br /><br />I am holding out hope Emily...I don't know why...I just am. <br /><br />Feel free to delete this if it's too much for you :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-13987869085784465892011-06-02T19:01:37.800-04:002011-06-02T19:01:37.800-04:00so glad you've got a little good news and that...so glad you've got a little good news and that your dr was not quite such a downer today. so glad you've made such progress.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13450929181331922606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-12155331923693341242011-06-02T18:43:44.511-04:002011-06-02T18:43:44.511-04:00I'm so glad that so many things are looking go...I'm so glad that so many things are looking good.
