Our little miracle has arrived!

Hi Everyone:

Just to update you - Shanelle Nesia (means God's Miracle roughly translated) arrived via c-section on June 27 at 2:15 PST. She weighed in at 8lbs 2oz and was 19 1/4 -19 1/2 inches (really 49 cm so that's the best conversion I can do ).

As you know I had tons of second thoughts about having a repeat section but since D's went through so much I felt compelled that to keep this baby safe I must do it c-section. I even had to switch Ob's as the 1st one insisted I try vb ac. Well, when they lifted Shanelle out - the cord was wrapped twice around her neck!! It was loose though - probably why she was up so high all this time. If I had tried to do a vb ac (as they had insisted she would have gone into distress and I would have had to had emergency c-section only due to the fact that there is no 24 hour surgery or anesthetist in hospital - it could have have taken up to 45 minutes to get her into surgery. So whew! Go with your gut ladies - after all these years with ds I learned that the hard way. So I am so grateful.

Anyway, Shanelle is beautiful and precious. She is such a good baby -so content and happy. She is alert!! It's truly amazing. Ds is having some trouble with it all but I hope it will work out. The nurses were horrid to me and kept mentioning my age!! Yet here are these 15 years old across the hall with their friends in - going out for smokes and these tiny babies crying and crying while I am sitting in my room with content little baby - and I would think - so you think I shouldn't be a mother
Will post my hospital experience on a OT thread as many of you don't need to hear me whine about it.

Yesterday someone was over to visit the baby and they mentioned the last miscarriage and how it was then 5 years of IF for us (I never really thought of it before but I guess when you are in the moment and trying you just forget how much time you have spent). So I just wanted to say again - miracles do happen everyone - I had given up - thought it was not meant to be - yet here I sit today with my precious little girl ( a baby sister for her big brother). I mentioned to someone a few weeks ago that I had so wished for a miracle so that ds would be okay - that he would be able to function on his own in the world - but it never happened - the friend then said - well maybe this baby is that 'miracle' - someone who will be there for him when we no longer are. I hope that she will have compassion and love for her brother.

Well, I haven't had a chance to catch up on the posts yet - so I am hoping all of you are doing well and that your updates are filled with good news.

Ladies and all your little miracles!

Barbara

Barbara,
I have tears in my eyes. You know the special needs of your family are something we used to share. Your dd will learn a compassion and lessons that cannot be taught unless you live it. My children are so different around people with disabilities than others.... they get it and are ok with it. God often will answer a prayer not in how you think but how He thinks. Don't let that pp emotions get away from you. Keep a close eye on it, OK!
Welcome Shanelle!
HUGS
JenC

Congratulations, again, Barbara - I'm so happy for you and your family. It's too bad your hospital exp. wasn't the best, but I'm sure it will soon fade into the background now that your sweet baby is here. Take care.
Jan

Just wanted to say how beautiful her name is...PERFECT!!!!! Your dd is going to be wonderful to your son as she is in a family of love and compassion and that is something that is learned. She has a wonderful example to follow. Miracles do happen as I was told I would probably never have children due to my immune issues and here I am pg again and will have a family of three wonderful children. I have been blessed as you have too. Thanks for the update and we'll be keeping an eye on your updates and watching your family grow...

Barbara - Such wonderful news!! Congratulations! I'm sorry the nurses were so horrible!!
Way to follow your gut! You probably saved your daughter's life. Hopefully your ds will start to adjust very soon. I'm sure his new little sis will always be there for him.
Congrats Again!!!!
