This week's ultrasound showed that the CVR is at .8. The doctor told us that the difference between last week and this week is so minor that it could be accounted for simply by the fact the CCAM is hard to measure and there is bound to be a little variation. Not only that, but just when we thought Baby couldn't be more uncooperative for his ultrasounds, he proved us wrong. He was in a head-up, face-towards-my-back position today, which didn't allow the ultrasound tech to get a good angle for getting measurements. This trend of uncooperativeness during ultrasounds does not bode well for the future. :)
So for now, things are holding steady.
We also confirmed what we suspected last week--going from a CVR of 1.4 to .7 did not mean that the mass had shrunk to half it's size. It's still a very good thing, but the numbers just aren't that simple.
The doctor thinks that in the next month we should be able to get a much better idea of where we'll deliver Baby. We'll need to see more shrinkage to be able to deliver with my midwife as originally planned, but that is very possible. So we just keep waiting, watching and praying.
