A Baby Story!!!

I have been wanting to post about all of this forever, but I have been so sick/miserable that I haven't been able to. It makes me laugh when I think about everything all together because seriously what more could have gone on! Since the beginning of this pregnancy I have had such bad migraines that I have had to go the the ER several times to get them to go away. Then along with that I had bad nausea and vomiting that never went away through my whole pregnancy. I had to go into the hospital a bunch of times to be treated because I was so dehydrated. As if that weren't enough, I got kidney stones and had been passing them just about EVERY SINGLE DAY for the last 3 months!!! If you've ever had one you know how painful it can be! Then after that I found out that I had gestational diabetes and had to deal with all that goes along with that!! I also had problems with my gallbladder the last month or so and that caused more pain! So I was definitely ready to have this baby!

I had been having problems with my blood pressure and had to be treated a couple of times when I was 35wks. I had preeclampsia with Quincy and started having symptoms of it again, so at my 36 week appointment my doctor decided to do my c-section the next morning. So he's finally here!!

We are so excited to finally have him here! He was born a little early and had to be treated for jaundice, but he's doing great now! He is such a tiny little guy but such a good baby!!
