Last visit to the MFM

    Today marks our last visit to the specialist. Baileys brain is looking pretty good all things considered. Her ventricles have grown but do not seem to have grown with the speed they were before. One side is at 25mm and the other is at 31mm. Her head looks like a football in the ultrasound but the doc says it's only  measuring 2 weeks ahead and that we most likely won't be able to see it once she is born. Oh and we got to see actual brain matter today!!! This is the first time it has showed up. In the past all we could see was fluid. Just knowing that all that grey matter is there was such a relief.
    Her growth overall has slowed down and she is down from the 36th  percentile to the 22nd but still looks healthy. She is practicing breathing non stop.
     I left that office today for the first time in months without crying. There wasn't really any good news but there was no new bad news, which is a first. I look forward to meeting Bailey  in a couple weeks. She of course will still need the NICU and the surgery but according to the doc she won't look like megamind... I take some joy in that.
