The NICU nurses took this picture for Brian to bring to me in recovery because I only got to see her for a second after she was born and taken to the NICU.
How on earth did we end up here with a beautiful little baby girl?
Here's another picture of Genevieve taken on December 2. All wrapped up, our little baby burrito.
How on earth did we end up here with a beautiful little baby girl?
Lets just say I didn't have the easiest pregnancy. I had gestational diabetes. Not a big deal, it was managable; I learned how to eat right. I started swelling early on. I think I've only worn flip flops since the summer and I'm still wearing them now in December.
My pregnancy was considered high risk because of the gestational diabetes so I had a million doctors appointments and ultrasounds. On Tuesday, November 27th I was at the ob. Everything was fine at that appointment. On Thursday, November, 29th I had a high risk appointment. Boy things change in an instant. They didn't let me leave the office. They called for a wheel chair and carted me off to the hospital. My blood pressure was high and my kidneys and liver weren't working. I would later learn that I developed preeclampsia and HELLP Syndrome. I called Brian crying hysterically telling him that I was being admitted and wouldn't be going home until she was born.
My amazing husband some how managed to stay calm and kept me calm during my hospital stay. I know on the inside he had to be freaking out but he never let me know it.
Here is Brian and his little princess on December 3rd:
Here are some pictures of some of the vistors we had in the hospital. Unfortunately, we didn't get a picture of everyone that came to visit.
