My Little Princess

Like my first pregnancy, pregnancy number two was very difficult. At 6 weeks I had a threatened miscarriage. At 20 weeks, I was admitted into the hospital for a gallstone attack. At 30 weeks (New Year's Eve), I was admitted with kidney stones. Jeez, with all these stones, I should have a large sparkling diamond by now, right? At 37 weeks, I was admitted with another gallstone attack and high blood pressure. After about 3 days in the hospital, my doctor decided it was best if we delivered the baby.

My little Princess, Alexis Faith, was born, February 20, 2009 at 345pm, weighing 7lbs 15oz. Surprisingly, SJ took to being a big brother straight away. He is very protective of his little sis. I sometimes call them Hansel and Gretal as they are already so close.

My husband and I at this point were completely satisfied. We had our boy and girl and we were set to enjoy our new family. However, this was not meant to be. A surprise was looming just around the corner.
