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!

Congratulations, blessings and continued good health and strength over the next few weeks! Welcome to the quilting world Maddie!

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,
Chelley
