It is scary. We found out Thursday that she will most likely be coming here very soon unless things take a drastic turn for the better. I was 24 weeks Wednesday and if she was bigger they would have taken her then. Me and Eric are both still in shock from everything, it's taken a few days to sink in.

She had been diagnosed with iugr, they are 95% sure she has a heart defect that will require surgery, but still have not been able to get a clear enough picture. The blood flow in her cord is incredibly high which is causing a lot of concern. We were told there is basically a 50% chance ofher being still born, or not making it if they take her.

We would up deciding to go ahead and do the blood testing to find out if she has downs since the doctor is very concerned and we want to be prepared as possible for any health problems that would stem from it. We also thought we were cleared from having trisomy 18 but apparently we aren't so we will find out about as well.

It has been a very long and scary week. We no longer have goals of making it to x number of weeks. Now we want days and we want growth. I'm so glad that I have a really great group of doctors, but I'm so scared.
