Need a miracle.. prayers.. positive thoughts.

Our sweet girl was 3lbs7oz three weeks ago.

Yesterday (34+3) she’s only gotten up to 3lbs14oz.

That’s only 7 ounces of weight gain in three weeks. At this stage she should be gaining half a pound a week I believe.

Doctor is quite unhappy with her growth, and has scheduled us for delivery at 36 weeks (will know the exact date at our next appointment) but it’s also likely that he could check her weight again and not like what he sees and send us to labor and delivery from that appointment.

I can’t begin to describe what I’m feeling.

Anger. Sadness. Fear. Heartbroken.

This is my last baby and I was so hoping for a good experience but it’s one bad thing after another. Now we will have a VERY tiny baby come into the world early. I can’t imagine how much scarier this would have been had she been born earlier though. So there’s that, I guess. It’s just her weight that has me absolutely petrified right now.

I’m sorry if anyone thinks I’m whining or complaining. I’m not trying to, I’m grateful we are getting her out so she can gain weight in the nicu.. I’m just so scared. :(
