Mom's homecoming!

by Cora

MOM IS HOME!!!!!!!

I can't believe it. She is finally home, and it seems like she is home for good, but it is kinds of different. She is getting around really slowly, and she seems to be getting out of the chair and actually doing some house work. She keeps telling me that we will soon be meeting our new sister, but I thought she had to keep still for another 2 months. Jack keeps saying Mom is getting skinnier, but she still has a belly. Looks like something should be in there. She won't let me sit with her right now though. Says she is sore and can't have anything by her belly.

I just wish she could tell me what is going on, but it is nice to have her home safe and sound, so I can keep an eye on her!

Happy Birthday Renee Arvilla (July 2nd)

Where to start........ Well I'll pick up where I left off from last week.

We were sent home on Sunday morning. Cora and Jack were so excited for me to be home, they couldn't contain themselves. I think Cora ran into the door of her room trying to get to me when I called her name. Poor baby, missed her Mommy. Well I was home for a few hours, and then started bleeding again! Can't catch a break. Third strike, or time going to the hospital, and I'm in for the long hall. Little did we know!

Everything was going well, I was stable with a few high blood pressures here and there, but nothing alarming until Wednesday evening. Amanda, Red, and Rhodes were coming over for a big dinner. Spaghetti and meatballs with lemon merague pie!!!!! MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM So we were looking forward to a nice dinner with friends!

I took my showerat 3 and my blood pressure is a little high, since I've been up and about, but we took it again 30 min.s later and it was higher yet 177/96, then again 15 min.s later it was 197/107. SCARY! So they took action fast and put me on some magnesium sulfate and gave me a catheder. Not very comfortable, but before they put that in, I had to go to the bathroom and empty my bowls. Being so nervous, they emptied quickly.

Doctor came in and told us that we were going to have a baby tomorrow July 2nd!!!!!!! Here she is long anticipated and awaiting her arrival!!!!! Renee Arvilla Frederick born 9:30am, July 2nd, weighing 3 pounds 13 ounces and is 16 and 3/4 inches long!
