Baby B's fluid levels are the same. This is not good or bad. They don't seem too worried that they haven't changed in a week. He still has fluid in his bladder & stomach. His fluid is measuring at about 2cm. This whole thing can stay like this until who knows or it can correct itself. I'm praying for these 2 options (the latter is the best of course!). It can also become worse and Baby B could lose all fluid, not have any in his bladder or stomach and then we'd be headed down to MGH for the long haul.
Good news is my cervix is still 4 cm+. They want it to be more than 3 cm so at least that part of me is cooperating.
Also, weirdly I've lost 2 pounds in 6 days. I couldn't do that if I tried. I've been drinking protein shakes 2x/day and totally pigging out. I have noticed that my "hungry feeling" is different now. I don't know if that makes sense. I'll be sitting around knowing I should eat, but just feeling funny in my tummy. Then I eat something small, like a cheese stick, and my belly's like, "Hell, yeah! Bring it on!". It's just hard to eat when things feel "funny". Anyway, I'm off to enjoy my nightly Chipwich...
Thanks for the prayers and well wishes. Eli's surgery is tomorrow at 10:45 am. We can't let him eat or drink prior...it's going to be torture!!!

I dont think baby b will lose all fluid, I have faith that it will not get any worse than it is right now. Eating became such a chore in the 2nd half of my pregnancy with the trips, I could only eat about as much as my 3 yr old at the time and I would be full. Hang in there hun, you are doing great!
