I haven't been on TCF in a few days, just saw this thread. I am so, so sorry longhornwino. No advice but sending lots of T&Ps.
ETA: I would look into the palliative care options and chaplaincy services at the hospital where you are delivering. When I was in nursing school we had a patient whose baby had similar abnormalities. They chose to continue the pregnancy and when she was born she received comfort care only until she passed away. There was a staff member in the chaplaincy department who helped them bond with their baby during that time, wrap her respectfully afterwards, and ensure all nurses and other staff were aware of the situation and knew how to act appropriately. She also created a "memory box" with the baby's hand and footprints, hospital hat, etc for the agents to keep as a keepsake. It would be good to know what sort of support exists if they do continue the pregnancy and have to handle the emotions of loss while also celebrating Liv.

This is so unfair. I pray for you, H, and the girls comfort, peace, and strength. I will continue to pray for all of you . Be still and listen to your heart, ignore your mind, and know that you are their mother, you will know the best and right decision - something no one else can do. Trust yourself entirely.

You all have no idea how much your supportive and loving words have meant to us over the past days. My husband and I are blown away by the outpouring of love. We can't thank you all enough.
We go in today for another consult with our MFM. I'm hoping our preliminary amnio results will come in today and give us some direction.
Our hearts are shattered, but we're spending all the time we can with our little girls. Cate danced with her daddy last night while we listened to her heart pound away. It sped up when he talked to her
