Yes, I know....I have been so absent and I cannot give an answer to that. I had a difficult pregnancy starting about 4 months in. My blood pressure went north and I developed gestational diabetes. I saw so many doctors during my pregnancy I didn't have time to blog. Just went to work and then to sleep. My feet were so swollen all the time it was painful to walk.
I had a wonderful baby shower on May 8th and we truly are blessed to have received most everything we needed. Unfortunately, on May 11th my blood pressure reached stroke level and on May 14th baby girl Jewel Aurora was born via emergency c-section and weighed 5 pounds and 14 ounces. I was exactly at 36 weeks. She spent a week in the nicu. She had a problem with breathing post delivery but once in the nicu did not need oxygen. It is like the hotel california kind of. You can check in easily but it is damn near impossible to check out. On May 21st we came home weighing in at 5lbs 6 oz. Our first weeks were filled with hardly no sleep and lots of pumping as baby girl could not latch.
She is a lovely baby and sleeps through the night now. I cannot believe I am a mother finally at the ripe old age of 46!! I am over the moon and the luckiest girl in the world. My hubby is an absolute perfect Dad. He has helped me all through the pregnancy and after. He loves this baby with everything that he is. We are very happy and just wanted to let everyone know (if there is still anyone reading??) that all turned out well in the end and we are another DE success story.
