Micki E's Blog (6)

I would like to share with all of you our wonderful news. On February 4, 2009, at 10:05 pm, William Doyle H. made his entrance into the world! Mommy and baby are both doing wonderful. He weighed in at 6 pounds 6 ounces and was 18 3/4 inches long. He has a very healthy set of lungs. I am looking forward to hugging my daughter and holding my new grandson, which I will be doing on Tuesday. Once again, I would like to thank everyone for their thoughts, prayers, and words of encouragement. This is a… Continue

Well, she has made it to January and still hanging in there. The doctor has her on limited bed rest now. So that is encouraging. I was able to visit with Kimberly and her husband Rob at the beginning of December. It was great to be able to actually touch her belly and also to be able to give her a giant hug. She is amazing!! We had a virtual baby shower for her here in St. Louis, while she attended via the webcam. All of her gifts arrived while I was there, so I was able to help get the baby's r… Continue

Here it is October and Kimberly is still on bed rest. Her doctor feels that this is the best thing for her, and I am inclined to agree. We found out that part of her problem was that she was pregnant with twins and lost one. We were very heart broken to find this out but since we didn't know beforehand, it was a bit easier to accept. She is having a BOY and he is doing great! Thank god!! Looking forward to meeting him and being able to visit with my daughter. I will keep everyone updated on her… Continue

Well, I finally heard back from my daughter, letting me know the latest on her condition. First of all, she heard from her husband and they are sending him home. He should be arriving sometime this evening. YEA! Second, the doctor just put her on complete bed rest for the duration of her pregnancy. Poor thing is only 16 weeks, so it is going to be a very long 5 1/2 months. She will have to go weekly to be re-evaluated but...They did an ultrasound this morning and the baby is very active and suck… Continue

Here I sit at 1:50 am (CST), still waiting to hear back from my daughter, Kim. I did get to talk to her around 12:30 am (CST) and I must say that I am somewhat relieved. She did hear the baby's heartbeat and has felt the baby move a few times. They are waiting for an OB from Hanford to arrive because her uterus is too high and the ER doctor didn't have a clue. She also feels better because someone was able to get in touch with her husband and he finally called her. I will keep you all updated on… Continue

I am hoping that someone can help me. My daughter is at NAS Lemoore. She is pregnant and just called saying that she is on her way to the emergency room because she is bleeding. Her husband is away and she has no family there. How can I get a hold of someone at the hospital to at least be on the phone with her, so that she doesn't feel so alone. This is her first baby and I am being a typical mom and I want to be with her. I am in St. Louis so it isn't like I can just drive there. PLEASE HELP! Continue
