My hope has been restored! (long)

Last week I wrote about my awful appointment and measuring 4wks ahead (40 at 36) and protein being found, high BP, weight gain and my MW not being able to figure out position. I had totally lost hope and was dreading going in today for my ultrasound and appointment as I thought they were going to tell me I was having a huge baby that was breech and my Pre-E was coming again (had it last pregnancy). INSTEAD, I had a fantastic appointment! 

I had my ultrasound first and the tech was so sweet and amazing. First off, he's head down (YAY!) and she's estimating 7lbs 7oz which is the 64th%. (YAY AGAIN!) He was sucking his thumb and then she said "Hold on I need to switch things here..." and I didn't know what she was doing but just went with it. Well, she turned on 3D. I have always said I never want a 3D because I feel like it's opening a present before it's time since you're pretty much seeing your baby as it will be for the most part. BUT when she did it and his little face came up I just started crying. He's adorable! He has been chunky cheeks and a tiny nose. I'm so excited to see him for real! We got back to the measurements and she showed me his eyelashes and then showed me that he has hair! (DD was bald) It was seriously the best ultrasound I've had. Wish DH was with me but our DD is sick so he had to stay with her.

After that good news I was nervous about going to the MW appointment in fear of them saying my pre-e was coming back and all the good that just happened meant nothing. To my surprise, I lost a pound, my BP was great and NO protein! The MW (not my usual but another at the practice) was so sweet and just kept telling me how fabulous I'm doing despite having GD and all the problems I had last go around with DD. She made me feel like such a good mom. She said if his growth continues on track and today was accurate he will probably only be around 8 1/2lbs and everything for VBAC should be great. I didn't do an internal because I see her again Tuesday (I had to move today's appt back so they're closer than usual) and I'll be doing that then. Excited to see where he's at. 

Today was seriously the best day. I just really hope he continues to cooperate, stays a decent size and I can still get my VBAC. I'm a lot more hopeful than I was before I went today.

Hope everyone else is doing well!
