The good news is that the amniotic fluid around Eden is measuring normal at this point!
Not so great news is that she has little more fluid then they like to see in the left ventricle of her brain. They said it's still within normal range, just the higher end of normal. So they will watch it.
Bad news is she is extremely tiny. Only measuring in the 3rd percentile for her growth at this stage and they are very concerned.
Just more to be worried about :(

Oh man, Mom you can't seem to get away from the stress! I am sending hugs and prayers your way. Try not to worry yourself too much. You have been through so much already

 Thanks so much! The prayers and hugs mean a lot! I am so tired of worrying! I am just trying to figure out how to not worry about the most important thing in the world to me though?! SO hard!

All three of my boys were not on the charts when they were born.  They took them a week or two early and they are just fine.  Granted, they still are not on the charts. lol  But they are running around like chickens.  Nothing is wrong with the boys.  It was that way with all three my boys.  My daughter was only 6.6 when she was born.  I don't know about the charts then cause we were in Germany and they don't mess with percentiles.

I wouldn't worry about size. All 3 of my boys had IUGR and were premature. My 3rd son was born 2 weeks ago at 34 weeks and weighed 3lbs 15oz, my 2nd was born at 34 weeks weighing 3lbs 4oz, and my 1st was born at 37 weeks weighing 4lbs 11oz. All 3 came home either right away or after a week. None of them have any problems and grew perfectly after birth.
