    There's a new baby in the quilting world!

    Hi, everyone. It's been ages since I posted. Since I announced my pregnancy on this forum, I thought it was only right that I should come back to tell you that Madeline Grace Black has arrived! She was born on June 4th -- 9.5 weeks early. She weighed 3lbs 5oz and was 16.5" long. I was admitted to the hospital with pregnancy induced hypertension and preeclampsia. Maddie was delivered via emergency c-section 45 hours later when my kidneys started failing. Luckily, both baby and I are doing just fine! She's still in the NICU and will be there for several more weeks until she's strong enough to come home. She's doing just great, though -- breathing on her own and learning to drink from a bottle.

    Thank you all for your prayers and emails during my pregnancy.

    Hugs,

    Oh congratulations Chelley! And I am so glad you and the baby are fine. I hope you will show us pictures and I"ll have Maddie in my thoughts and prayers to come home soon.

    Blessings to you.

            Huge congratulations on Madeline Grace Black's arrival. I am so happy that both you and your daughter are fine. I had the same complications in pregnancy and all three of my children were c-section preemies. You will be so amazed at how incredibly fast she catches up! Just think of the baby quilts you will dream up and make! Enjoy!

                Blessings to both of you from a former NICU nurse! Isn't it amazing what medicine can do for these premie babies? Looks like Miss Madie is already catching up and getting ready to come help you quilt!

                Glad you are both OK and will keep you in my prayers!

                          Wonderful news that you and baby are doing fine. I'm sure you will be making daily visits to see your daughter. Time for some hand work to and from the hospital. Judy in AZ

                            Welcome baby Maddie! I had similar complications when my first son was born. He was only 4 weeks early. Expect great things. He went on to a PhD and is now a father of two darling girls. Praying for you and Maddie to gain strength and health.

                              It is so good to hear from you; I've thought of you often, and sent blessings your way. It certainly is a whole new day for you, hubby, Maddie and entire world!
