I have started this post two or three times over the last week and always end up being distracted.
As most of you know my oldest was due to have her first baby on July 29th.
She started with a headache on Tuesday July 3rd, I insisted she go in for a BP check when she still had the headache on Thursday the 5th. On the morning of July 6th they told her she had developed pre-eclampsia and they delivered her by emergency c-section. I was at the hospital with her and they wouldn't wait for Daryl to arrive so I was in the OR with her.
He was 36 weeks and we were a little concerned about lung development and whether or not he would have difficulty. Thankfully, he was perfect needed no assistance of any kind.

Unfortunately Rachel had a lot of difficulty, her kidneys and liver started shutting down and it was 48 hours before her kidneys corrected, her liver enzymes were still elevated when she was discharged. She will have her levels checked again in another week. Whats crazy to me is that she is a perfectly healthy, she was actually training for the princess half marathon when she got pregnant and continued to exercise through the whole pregnancy. She ate right took no meds, she did all the right things! She is now the poster child for the phrase, you just never know!
Now that things have settled down a little I have some sewing to do, I was in the process of making a diaper bag and a changing pad. I'll post those when I finish. Now to go back and catch up on everything I missed.
What a precious and beautiful baby! I'm glad he did so well! Hope his mom recovers fully and quickly.
