Quickie update and some pics

Hello hello!  So wanted to quickly update everyone on Micailyn.  We had an ultrasound today to check on her, and get measurements for Thursday's transfusion.  Starting with the good news, the fluid level has gone down!  Her MCA scan also is in the normal range, and she gained a whole pound and a half in a week! She was 4 pounds last week, 5 pounds 8 oz. this week :)  So last week's transfusion and the steroid shots I got definitely helped her kick it back into gear.  I was so glad to hear that her quick weight gain matched how my body felt this week! haha.  I continue to be beat up and stretched to my limits with this little diva!
So I guess the only bad news from today is that she still does have some fluid in her belly.  That and we're still unsure now when her delivery week will be. I'm 33 weeks this week, so as long as nothing happens for us to have to deliver early, It could potentially be 37 or 38 weeks. That's just 4 to 5 weeks away! We have the next transfusion still scheduled for Thursday.  Praying that she continues to clear up the fluid on her own and that this transfusion goes well without the need for an emergency c-section. 

Now that I've updated yall on Micailyn for the umpteenth time, I thought you would like to see pictures of our little guy!  He's been such a trooper since we've been here.  Not being around his friends, or getting a lot of time to go play with other kids.  It's been on and off nice weather here, so Jeremy has taken him to a little pond nearby stocked with fish to practice his fishing skills :)

As always, more updates as they happen.  Have a great week yall!
