I met Mommy and Daddy today!

Its early in the morning, about 2:00 a.m. and Daddy just called the nurse to the room because Mommy wasn't feeling quite right. The nurse did a quick test and determined that Mommys water broke. The nurse told them they were going to have a baby today. Looks like I will be getting to see the outside world sooner than I thought. My original due date was 4/15/2009. At 7:44 a.m., the exact moment that Spring began, I was born via c-section. It took no time at all, and before I knew it, Mommy and Daddy heard me cry for the first time. I weigh 7 lbs. 9 oz. and am 19.5 inches long. What an exciting day!!

Alexandra's Story Beings today

Mommy had a routine checkup today. They did a sonogram as they had been every couple of weeks because Mommy had a miscarriage last time around and I was breech for quite some time. During the sonogram the technician noted (for the physician) that Mommy's amniotic fluid had lessened by half its previous level. The physician told Mommy and Daddy to go to Labor and Delivery at the hospital to make sure all was well. When they hooked Mommy up to the machine my little heart was going pitter-patter just like it should have been. However, the doctors were concerened about the low fluid level. Mommy was admitted and the medical team was going to give her fluids to try and get the amniotic levels back to normal. (Note: Mommy's amniotic level was always on the lower side of normal since day one.)
