And then came along Princess Baby...

After having a high-risk pregnancy with Reese, being put on bed rest for 8 weeks, and delivering a sick baby that had to stay in the hospital, it took Brian and I a little while to decide to have another one...plus Reese was so much fun and we got to spend so much one on one time with him. But the time did come where I was eager and very impatient about wanting another baby. When we found out I was pregnant, we were thrilled, but didn't want to tell anyone until we heard the heartbeat, which was the most amazing sound in the world. Reese was the first person we told, and he was so excited! 5 Weeks later, our world was thrown around again, as I was already put into high risk and seeing my doc. plus a specialist. I went to the doctor once a week, but we got to find out she was a girl at only 13 weeks pregnant and we had 4D ultrasounds every other week...so there was an up side to it!! I knew with all this watching that this baby was going to turn out just fine and this pregnancy would last till 40 weeks just like Reese. They stopped it that time when he tried to come at 32 weeks, surely they could do it again. That all changed as I got out of my car and walked across the parking lot to
go to a regular doc visit. As I crossed the street, my water broke. I was 33 weeks. Though I should have been scared, God protected my worries by making me think of random, crazy things that needed to be done and I made lists and sent people after things--we needed a car seat, a baby book, a mommy brag book, pajamas, the room isn't done, etc. The docs wanted to hold off a week, but it didn't happen. On Monday they were trying to stop labor all day and night and by Tuesday it had stopped. Then Tuesday afternoon, we had a biophysical of the baby and it showed that she wasn't doing what they wanted her to do and they gave me pitocin to start labor. How funny! At 12:49 am, we welcomed our little girl Raygan-Elisabeth Ann (Raygan-Elise) weighing exactly 4 lbs. After brief moments with her, she was taken to the NICU, and she and I stayed there for 2 weeks. She didn't need oxygen, but had trouble with her stomach, apnea, and jaundice. She is now doing good (except for gerd/reflux) and is going to have her shots tomorrow!! WOW...Time flies!!
