Baby Boots Appt Update

First of all, thank you ladies for all the love and cat gifs! What more could a girl ask for??
The good news, and most important thing is Baby Boots gets to keep cooking a while longer! We're still doing NSTs twice weekly, AFIs every week and BP checks so things could change fast, but for now, every day closer to that 37 week mark is a victory!
Here's the deets:
Fluid levels - Up slightly. Last week was 7 (normal is 8-18), at L&D Sunday night was 8 and today was 10! It's still in the lower end but I'll take it! I guess drinking all that water helped and I'll tell you what, it REALLY helped my swelling. I'll post a PSA about this later because WOW. My toes are no longer sausages.
Growth - No growth scan today, they will only do it every 3 weeks because it it's too soon it's not really accurate. Fundal height is still low (29 and should be 33) but that is such a crappy test I'm not worried too much about that. Next growth scan in 2 weeks (and then we'll be a week away from delivery so . . . .whatevs at that point). I'm still worried about this but there's not much I can do so I'm going to try not to worry. I'm trying to eat more protein (and hell, more of everything) in case that helps.
BP - It was high on the automatic reading (154/91) but then they did it manually and it was a bit lower. There is protein in my urine today also which I've not had before (and which technically gives me the pre-eclampsia diagnosis) but since I passed my 24 hour urine test last week they didn't order another one, but I've been warned I may have to do one next week.
NST - They did a BPP instead and he passed so we got to skip the NST which is great. Baby was breathing in there which is a good sign and wiggling away. He's still breech but I'm a planned C so whatevs on that. The fluid levels might be too low to allow him to turn at this point. Today he had his feet up by his head which is lovely, but I know he often has them low because I get kicks down low too.
We are meeting with an MFM OB next week (first time this pregnancy) to talk about the c-section, go through the birth plan and all that, as well as whatever we know about fluid levels and baby in general at that point.
Next appt is an NST on Friday.
So phew, he's cooking for a little while longer at least, as long as the preeclampsia stays in check. FX on that!
Thanks again ladies for all the love! Group hug!
