I am a young stay-at-home mom who has just begun branching out into the world of parenthood. Before I decided to stay at home with my baby I was a Medical Laboratory Technician.

I was blessed with a beautiful baby girl on the 13th of August in 2010 through a somewhat traumatic delivery. I am proud of my natural childbirth experience and having recently achieved my 12 month breastfeeding milestone.

I love spending time with my family outdoors, but I also enjoy alone time reading a good book. My favorite television show at the moment is True Blood and I can't get enough of it! I tend to spend a little too much time surfing the web and researching everything about parenting...

[wakingupkk]

Eloise was born at 24 weeks and 5 days. I had a very normal pregnancy until week 23. Friday, March 25th, I woke up very early, around 3am, and felt something was wrong. I quickly found I was bleeding and got very scared. My husband was out of town on a church retreat so I was home alone. So, I called my parents who called an ambulance. I was rushed to the hospital. My husband was finally located and rushed back to to town by a friend.
The doctors found that my normally low blood pressure had sky rocketed so I was kept Friday night for observation. I also received a steroid shot so that Eloise could develop a little faster since the doctors felt she would come early. Saturday afternoon I was sent home with blood pressure medicine and put on bed rest. Early Monday morning I woke up again with back pain; not an incredibly unusual thing. Unable to sleep I went to the living room and took some Tylenol. Within an hour, I had a horrible headache and decided to wake my husband up and head back to the hospital.
My blood pressure was once again very high. I was diagnosed with preeclampsia in the 2nd trimester. The decision was made to transfer me to another hospital that specialized in high risk pregnancies. When I arrived, I was immediately placed on magnesium and more blood pressure medicine. We were told I would be here for the duration of the pregnancy which hopefully would be a few weeks. My husband stayed all that week until Thursday when I insisted he go to work. Thursday afternoon, I was sitting in the hospital bed visiting with my parents and my pastor when the doctor came in. She explained my blood work that morning didn’t look good. My liver was having issues from the blood pressure which was staying around 170 though had been around 200. The pregnancy would likely only be a few more days or, at worse, hours. My husband was immediately called back to my side.
Late Thursday night, I was about to take my evening medicine and my husband was getting into bed. The nurse had left for a moment and I stated the room just spun around. My husband asked lots of questions but I couldn’t really give him an answer. He told the nurse this when she returned. Within minutes, I went into a seizure. My husband was taken out of the room while nurses and doctors worked on me; shortly after I went into a second seizure. The pregnancy was now too dangerous to continue and an emergency c-section had to occur.
I was wheeled into an operating room, unaware of what was going on. I delivered my baby girl at 1:27am Friday morning… just one week after any signs of preeclampsia and hours after eeclampsia. I was the first person in my family to have preeclampsia. We have no history of high blood pressure, diabetes, or seizures. There was no way to know what was going to happen.
In early July I received a call from my OB/GYN who wanted me to come and do a full blood work up. 2 weeks later they called back and told me that something was wrong and I was to go see a specialist who could tell me what was happening. It was discovered that some of my genes were not normal. Recently connections have been shown between this particular abnormality and difficult pregnancy, in particular, eeclamptic pregnancies. So Eloise will likely be our last but our perfect little princess. We were so thankful not to know about the gene before, otherwise we wouldn't have tried to get pregnant in the first place.
After 115 days in the NICU we were told our little girl was finally able to come home. We were thrilled and terrified all at once. We were able to stay our first night with her in the hospital.The next day, we packed up our home for the past few months (at the Ronald McDonald House) and drove home…. This time with our little Eloise.
Eloise has dealt with a lot in her short life so far. She has faced many of the typical preemie issues: PDA, lung issues, NEC (that was scary!), multiple blood transfusions, bradycardia, etc. She also had some issue gaining weight early on. Currently she is getting help for her club foot. Such a minor thing considering all the obstacles she has already overcome. I am proud to say she is doing amazingly well and we are so proud of her.
