I can't believe Anna is 8 years old today. When she woke up this morning I told her happy birtday. She informed me that she isn't officially 8 until 3:00 pm (time she was born). - LOL Yes, it was 3:00 on a Saturday afternoon. I was having some high blood pressure issues. Even had to do the urine collection for a 24 hour period to check for protein. On that Saturday 8 years ago, my husband and I were getting ready to watching Notre Dame play football on tv. My dh says wouldn't it be nice to have a baby to snuggle with on a day like today. A few hours later I woke up startled from my nap, running to the bathroom. Yikes, my water just broke and Anna wasn't due for another 6 weeks. My husband was a basket case, I was shaking so hard trying to call the birthing center. We finally got to the hospital and into a room, my ob checked me and Anna was breech. So, it was off to the surgery room for a c-section. Anna was 5lbs 12 ounces and 17 1/2 inches long. She had to be under the oxygen hood for 24 hours and continued to be hooked up to several monitors for 7 days. We were so happy when whe would take a half of an ounce of formula. She would get so tired from sucking and had to be stimulated to even do that.
All of this was just a sign of things to come. She likes to do things in her own time and she is such a drama queen. LOL
I Love you Anna!!!!
