Pregnant after IF

Back from the dr.

I went to the dr. last week (28 weeks) after the pediatric cardiologist told me about the baby's heart problem.  The obgyn told me that she weighed 2 pounds and I had to fatten her up so she would be ready for the surgery.  Well I think everyone's prayers are working because this week she is 2 lbs 11oz!  11 oz in one week!   I still have to lay around and try to keep her weight going up.  Next week I go to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to meet with the surgical team and get more tests.  Although the dr seemed very sure of himself I am still hoping that they will tell me that he was wrong.  Thank you everyone for your prayers and please keep them coming.  This is the first good news that I have gotten in a while.
