Off topic- Lawchick has given birth to a little fairy
 
Last time I was on this board (August 28th), I was due naturally on 4th December but that night I started bleeding heavily (in the office) and nearly lost the baby.
I was taken into hospital where I had to remain for complete bedrest... things were motoring along fine - until exactly one month later when I started bleeding again. It was decided that I should have a section on September 29th as I was losing too much blood. I had Christina under general anaesthetic. She was thirty weeks but was quite big for her age. She weighed 1 kg 800. She's quite healthy but still only little and will be kept in hospital until the 37th week or so. I am staying in a house for parents beside the hospital and see her all the time. I hold her about 6 hours per day. She looks like a little fairy!

I missed my holidays in the North of France as a result...but I'm looking forward to holidays for three from now on. Hope all here are well.

We've missed you, Lawchick, but I am glad to hear that you and Christina are doing well.

Take care of that wee litle girl and feed her lots (if she is eating yet) so she and you can go home soon.

Good to hear from you Lawchick and that everything turned out OK (except for missing a trip!)

Welcome to the world, sweet Christina.

Lawchick -

I am so happy for you! What a scary time you must have had . . . It is truly amazing what doctors are able to do now. Your little Christina is indeed a miracle baby.

My daughter has been trying to have a baby for a number of years. They have finally determined what may have been causing the difficulty and, after two surgeries, we are again hopeful.

My very best wishes to you and your lovely family.

granddutchess Oct 23rd, 2007 06:46 PM

Congratulations to your family on the birth of your daughter. They are truly miracles.

teacherCanada Oct 23rd, 2007 07:05 PM

Heartiest congratulations Lawchick. You and your family are truly blessed. Take lots of pictures. You'll treasure them forever.

LoveItaly Oct 23rd, 2007 07:12 PM

Congratulations Lawchick, I have noticed that I have not seen posts from you as of late.

Your precious daughter Christina, she just couldn't wait to be with you and to be held in your loving arms.

May the days go by quickly and may your Christina and you be home as soon as possible. May life be good to your Christina. A daughter is a gift from God. ((F))
