August 2010 Babies

Short: Jocelyn Grace born 7/9/10 at 6:04 pm. 5lbs, 3oz and 18.5 inches long.

I went into the hospital on Thursday after my Dr found protein in my urine at my regular appointment that morning. He diagnosed me with mild pre-e and was planning on sending me home Friday afternoon until I mentioned that I had an uncomfortable feeling in my chest. With that new symptom he changed the diagnosed me with severe pre-e and decided it would be best for me to deliver my little girl. She was born via c-section later that day.

It was pretty scary at first and the next BP reading they took after telling me that went sky-high. I managed to relax enough that my BP came back down a bit. The discomfort I had was pretty mild so I was afraid that I'd made a big deal out of nothing until the nurse told me that shortly after making the decision to deliver the results on my 24 urine protein test came back and that if I had gone home they would have been calling me to come back in.

Little Jocelyn came out perfectly healthy, even though she was a month early and a little on the small side. She didn't have to spend any time in the NICU, thank God!!! Since delivering my BP has been much better and so far the recovery process from the c/s hasn't been as bad as I anticipated.

Thanks for all the prayers over the last few days ladies. I've definitely seen God's hands in how everything went down.
