Finally some good news. I had my doctor appointment this afternoon and found out that I do indeed get to stay with the midwife group at Paragon. Molly was very supportive and told Steve and I that they will do everything that they can to make us comfortable and make this as stress free as possible. I am so thrilled that this worked out for us. I know that this will make the labor experience that much easier!
I also spoke to Dr Stewart. The brain malformation that he mentioned during the ultrasound was Arnold Chiari. Doing some googling, this doesn't appear to be necessarily life threatening. I need to do more research but just haven't had a chance to yet. I also checked with him to be sure that the amnio confirmed that our bean is still a Quinn, she is.
So, that is where we stand now. I will continue with the midwives as normal. My next appointment will be in 4 weeks where I will have my normal appointment and will also have my 1 hour glucose test.
Listening to Quinn's heart today was amazing. I thought that I would cry when I heard it but I didn't. It made me smile to hear how strong it sounds. My little gal is in there fighting away and I need to stay strong for her! For tonight I am going to go to bed and be content with how far we have come. In 3 short weeks we have been to a place with nothing but despair to a place with just a little hope.
