Ok this post is LONG past due, but I hope everyone gives me a small amount of understanding. (Please note this will be a LONG post.) Many of the old-timer's here know more of my personal situation and struggle and the large amount of grief I have gone through during these past years as a member and even some time before that.
Those of you who don't I will just say God has His plan in His timing for our good.
Some of the details due to my own personal feelings and such will not be shared publically because there are still sooo many evil people in this world who would try to work against those of us who know the WAY, TRUTH, and LIFE. Anyone who feels the need can contact me privately.
So a few months back I finally shared that God was answering one of my private prayers and one closest to my own heart......having the best job in the world..... to be a mama. This pregnancy was just going along nice and smoothly without much problem at all. Lots of things to do and many dr's visits etc but from all tests and checks no problems whatsoever.
The end of December I became overly tired and just not 100% but with my schedule and getting two jobs worked in and also Christmas, I just thought it was one more way to keep me stressed out.
On January 1st, I ended up in extreme pain not having much idea what the problem was even thought I could be having a heart attack or some such. The dr's at the ER couldn't find anything wrong but due to me being pregnant they also kept my OB informed. She didn't like a set of numbers and wanted to check them again the next day. ER dr's were like nothing wrong with you but a small gallstone and sent me home with a pain med. (I really do not appreciate this personally as I have seen WAY to much on just give a pain med and things will work out.)
My OB dr had some tests ran the next day and checked on the baby and said looked like the baby was happy and healthy etc and she sent me to her husband who deals with digestive problems to see if he could help me. He told me if I hadn't been pregnant he would have had my gallbladder removed to see if that would fix the problem.
So later that day my OB contacted me, and pretty much said go to the hospital.....like monopoly go to jail do not pass go do not collect $200. They will run some more tests but if they come out worse I will send you to a higher risk dr because there is a good chance your baby will be delivered soon.
Well lovely time at the hospital and waiting on test results and as soon as she got them my dr said ok move her to the other hospital. ( When all this was happening I was between 25 and 26 weeks pregnant.) The thought was that if I didn't have the baby soon I could possibly die or the baby could or both of us could.
Over the next 4 or 5 days, I was treated to fix the symptoms and told I had this or that or the other and also I was told everything from the baby will be born today to you should get to go home and have a normal rest of your pregnancy we just want to watch you and the baby for the next few days. At one point I felt like we were the miracle of the hospital.
Then the baby ended up having issues and not being able to maintain the heartrate etc. I was told we needed to have a test and more than likely the baby would need to be delivered soon or there was a very good chance of loss.
Trying to make the right decision on whether to wait and see or have the baby was quite hard on many areas of my life. Knowing the chances of survival even being delivered could always be low plus the chances of more complications with the baby etc weighed heavily.
They ended up doing the test and pretty much telling me ok now the baby needs to be delivered and me yet again asking are you sure???? So off to the OR for an emergency c-section we went. So very shortly afterward I became a mama. Since I chose not to find out what we were having, I was being told the baby was born feet first but no one told us what we had. So I finally asked so do we have a baby boy or girl????
So on Jan 6th at 3:04 pm EST we became the proud parents of a sweet baby girl.......She weighed just 1 pound 5.3 ounces and a mere 12.5 inches long. She was born with a head full of hair. She's had several problems but she is doing quite well for what's been expected. Including great improvements on her breathing quicker than most her size. She has also been on my breastmilk for most of the time since she's been here even though it's been though a feeding tube.
We would appreciate any and all prayers and especially singing God's praises on His will and His ways. ( Sorry but I do not feel comfortable sharing her name publically.)
