Hi girls, I've missed you too. Things just got soooo crazy after I got pregnant. I had a rough pregnancy (always sick with morning sickness) then I had really bad pains one night & I was up all night. Finally at like 4:30 in the morning I told DH we should go to the Emergency Room. I thought I was having Braxton Hicks contractions or bad indigestion. Turns out I had what is called HELP Syndrome. It is a VERY bad case of Preclampsia. That was on April 26th. My due date was June 2nd. Anyway, they ended up doing an emergency C-Section that day. I was transferred to another hospital and everything. It was like a whirlwind and totally unexpected. There is a 15-20 percent mortality rate in mothers with this HELP Syndrome, but GOD IS GOOD. My baby Girl, Annabelle May, was perfect. Her lungs were fully developed and she did very well. She weighed 4 lbs 3 ounces when she was born and she is about 6 pounds now, already. I don't know how to post a picture, so when I get time I will get dh to do it for me. Thanks for asking. I am soooo glad to hear all of the good news coming from this board. As far as Karen getting Sam and Misty getting pregnant. That is soooo great to hear. Now that things have settled a bit (tiny bit) more now, I will try to get on here more to check on you ladies. Hope to talk with you again soon, Joanne

I'm so glad to hear from you. My cousin had HELLP and I remember how scary that night was. I'm so glad to hear you and your precious little Annabelle are ok. LOVE the name and can't wait to see pics!! THANKS for checking in!! I think about you often.
