Sophie Alexis is Here

Hi Everyone,
Well I delivered my beautiful baby girl on Oct. 27. It was an emergency c-section because I was contracting, dialated to 4 cm and she was breech. My doc didn't want to take the chance of my water breaking and having something go wrong so at 5:58 that night I met my little girl. She was 6 lbs 7 oz and 19 inches long.
It has been about 2 weeks and we are doing great! We have finally gotten the hang of breastfeeding and I am beginning to realize that I will never sleep through the night again, but that is totally okay with me.

Thanks for everything that you guys have done to help me get though this difficult pregnancy!

Getting really close

Hi everyone,

I am beginning to get really worried. It all started last week at my dr's appointment (I am 32 weeks along). My dr did the regular ultrasound and then said that he wanted to put me on the NST. I didn't think that they did NST's this early unless anything could be potentially wrong. Sophie did wonderfully on the NST, though. That gave me some piece of mind. Then he said that he wanted to see me once a week, just as a precaution. I felt relieved at the time, well until I got in the car and realized that I lost Evie at 37 weeks. That is so close, only a couple more weeks and I could lose this baby...I am so nervous! I would be going insane if it wasn't for the fact that I am so busy with school and work...but then I feel guilty for not worrying as much as I think I should be. Oh I am just a bundle of raw emotions!!!!!!

Thanks for listening to my rambling, don't get me wrong the dr said that she is doing wonderfully..he just doesn't want me to lose her and have to deal with another loss, so he is doing everything in his power to prevent that. Which I appreciate so much.

Sorry that this got kind of long, I hope everyone is doing well!

Remembering Evie

Tomorrow it will be one year since my precious little girl was born into Heaven. I will never forget her and the joy she brought into my life.....if only for a short time. The memories of that pregnancy will last with me forever, she was such a distinct person in the womb, happy and active.

Precious Evie,
I can't wait until the day when we will meet again, I love you more than words can express. Hugs and Kisses on your special day sweetie.

Love, Mommy

Level II Ultrasound

We went in for our level II ultrasound yesterday and everything looked so great. Sophie is growing beautifully and was "showing off" for the camera. She was wiggling and folding herself in half. It was so cute to see her squirming and having fun.

It's a....

GIRL!!! (IMG:http://www.ldspail.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

My doctor said that he is 95% sure! I go in for another ultrasound in 2 weeks to confirm but I was just so excited that I had to share the news!
Everything else went good! Our little girl is measuring right on 18 weeks and 1 day! It is such a relief! I thought I would go insane before this appointment. It is nice to have the reassurance that all is well!

I hope everyone is doing well!
