Oh, sweetie. I’m so sorry. Those kind of comments by doctors would take the wind out of my sails too. “Cautiously optomistic about survival” is not extremely reassuring, but I agree with some of the other commenter who said that doctors are always trying to cover themselves legally and don’t want to say anything that could get them into trouble. I am praying for your sweet baby and for you. I hope that things continue to look positive in the ultrasounds and that any complications with the other kidney are mild and can be easily handled after a successful birth. I hate that you have to go through this horrible emotional roller coaster. I can only imagine how incredibly exhausting it must be. Please know we are all out here loving you and rooting for your baby girl. Lots of love. Naomi

You, my dear, are a wise woman. We never need to go looking for trouble because each day has enough trouble of it’s own.

As a native Californian, I can honestly say, those doctors words are typical of cover your butt in case of lawsuit.

What a challenge – and such a heart challenge! One of the things that comforted me with my last two pregnancies which were an event in themselves was the scripture about where God said to speak and the moutain would be moved. When that fear would try to push in, I would pray, “Thank you God for this whole healthy baby” – and we had miracles happen! I’ll be praying for you and thanking God for your whole healthy baby!

Amiga, I told you before that I got bad news about my third after an ultrasound about halfway through and nearly flipped the lid. I got a second opinion by a neighbour who I hadn’t even known was a gynaecologist and, without the benefit of an ultrasound machine, was informed that my baby was fine. And d’you know something? She was. Fine! You should see the chirpy soon-to-be-ten year old she is now.

Sometimes, technology sucks. I pray full protection on your baby and send you healing thoughts. Trust in love and the processes of life. God is great. He is much bigger than any of those doctors. They’re not God, just humans and some of them are pretty damn stupid.

I’m so glad to hear that the appointment had good news for you, but I get it. My friend had her twins last week, and she was so worried the whole time because EVERYthing bad seemed to happen to her during pregnancy, and it was hard to enjoy it. Fortunately, she’s able to focus on the now and the enjoyment of it, even with one of the twins still in NICU (but doing fine). Good luck – and yay to 29 weeks!

I just looked through some of the funniest couple pictures I’ve seen in a long time. A friend posted the link on FB.
I think when the time comes and maybe you want to move things along looking at these pictures will probably break your water.
Oh almost forgot here’s the link

Since everything is sounding better I tend to agree with you on waiting until after your baby is born. I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. I do like that new word!

Hi hon, I’m really, truly sorry to hear what you’ve been going through. I think I too would have chosen to not discuss what may or may not happen, it seems very wise to me. You must be counting the hours, never mind the days and weeks. All my very best wishes. xx

I love PEERSPECTIVE esp. since I seem to be worried about PEERSPECTIVE all the time instead of my MESPECTIVE.

I am keeping my fingers crossed and thinking of you. And the “IN BED” addition is brilliant. Maybe it is because the added words that led my mind astray, oh who am I kidding I am a perv on my own… the fortune cookie, is it just me?! looks like a smooth bottom… 😉

That’s got to be scary and it’s got to be hard to come down from all that monitoring…even when it’s a good thing.

Peerspective is a totally awesome word. I think it should be added to the dictionary! In fact, I am going to use it at work during the next staff meeting. Everyone will be so imPEERessed. (Ok, I’ll just leave the word inventing to you. You are better at it than me.)
Doctors can be a drag sometimes. They have to cover everything, but sometimes they forget that they are talking to someone who has real emotions and fears and hopes. I’m keeping you and baby and your husband too, in my thoughts and prayers. – G

I am so mad at your doctors right now. Do they not know how much of an emotional wreck a preggo mama can be, let alone one that is already worrying about her wee one. I wanna punch him in the face! Good for you for hanging on the positive. This is awesome fantastic super good news that the kidney & bladder are doing well & that the amnio fliud is up. Yay, let’s party to that!!! 🙂

Personally, I think the remark “I am cautiously optimistic about the baby’s survival” is negative and uncalled for. No wonder you are wiped out after each doctor visit.

Love peerspective! Love the fortune cookie, too!

I will say extra prayers for you and baby. This year has been hard on me too, so I am hoping and praying that next year is better for everyone!
