Well God doesn't want anything to go our way on this.
We met with my OB today and he said that we won't be able to donate the baby's organs like we were hoping to. He said that there's not really a need for them and since the baby has a defect, they might not be accepted if there was a need.
So we have two options. We can either be induced early (before 28 weeks so that we can have the more potent meds) or wait until my cervix thins and is more favorable to be induced (more like 36wks). Going early would mean a full day of labor and more trauma on my cervix. Going longer would be a quicker labor and easier on my body, but it's also means being pregnant longer. I'm 22wks now so we have some talking to do before my next check up in four weeks.
We're really disappointed that we aren't going to be able to donate organs but know that there is a reason for all of this and just have to be patient and listen to God.
Thank you so much for your continued prayers.

Sometimes the hardest thing of all is doing God's will - harder still is knowing what his will is. I do believe there is a reason for all of this though we can't see it. Only He sees the big picture. Still, I am so saddened by what you are going through. Continuing to pray for you all.
