oh, and that...

Reading back, I realize I left out a lot of important info.

An omphalocele is when the abdominal organs are pushed up into the umbilical cord. Thus, the balloon. This needs surgery. That's my best case scenario. A baby who needs abdominal surgery. And possibly heart surgery, which often comes with omphaloceles.

And the doctor performed a CVS, which involved him punching me in the stomach with a big needle and then him pumping it back and forth to draw out pieces of placenta. That was actually the funnest part of the day.
