Today our little baby boy was diagnosed with IUGR. You can read what that is at this link:

So far he looks perfect and is doing great he is just measuring at 33 weeks when he should be measuring at 37. I am still gaining about 2 pounds a week so we are not sure why he is not growing anymore. Most likely the placenta is just not doing it's job like it should. Thankfully, because he is still doing so well, they are going to let him stay in for another week and induce me on the night of July 14th. Hopefully he will grow some more in this next week and his lungs can mature more so he is more prepared for life outside the womb.
It is very strange to go from what couldn't have been a more perfectly normal pregnancy to a high risk pregnancy in just one day. I am very worried about this little guy but so far he is doing great and that's all that I can hope for. Please keep us in your prayers.
