Hey folks…a quick post to let you know: I had my baby! I went in for my regular check up on Monday, and ended up being admitted, induced and then an emergency c-section yesterday. More details will come later. Basically baby’s heartbeat kept dropping too low so they needed to get HER out quick (yes, a little girl). After birth she was still having some heart issues, so she’s been in NICU since then. I’ve only seen her for about 5 seconds which has been very very hard for me, but she is doing well and they think she’ll be in the room with me by afternoon 
So, the stats:
7 lbs 15.9 oz
21″ long
born at 2:59 pm on February 8th, 2011
Her name is: Aibhilin Gladys (pronounced Ayv-leen). It is a Gaelic name meaning “longed for child”, we thought that was pretty perfect. Her middle name, Gladys was my great grandma’s name.
Okay, I will post all the details when I’m more coherent and in less pain. We do have pictures, but I’m on my husbands computer and I don’t know where he put them.
Love to you all!

OMG congratulations. I’m so excited for you.
My good friend just had her baby yesterday too. Her experience was way too similar to yours. Went in for a stress test, didn’t pass, sent to hospital, then c-section……so similar.
I hope she’ll be in ur room soon. Just remember that they’re doing what’s best for her right now. I know it’s very hard but hang in there. Sending u all my best thoughts and prayers.
