My friend Katie from school found out she was pregnant the 3rd week of school so I've felt like I've been going through this with her, keeping her on track with school, sitting in the back of the class talking baby, feeling kicks, shopping, updates on her emergency hospital visits, how to tell her grandparents, etc. She had a rough pregnancy this time compared to her first so I'm glad I was there and really proud of her for going through THAT and our school program!
She finally had her baby on Wednesday morning, May 19th, at 4:00 am.
She went in with more stomach pains, which she was having a lot of throughout the whole term, and the baby's heart rate repeatedly kept dropping and scares of delivering happened through the whole term. This time it was for real but the nurses at the hospital closer to her house wanted to send her home still.
She went to the bathroom before she left, said she felt something weird, told the nurses who didn't believe her, and 5 minutes later on the side of an exam room table, Ashlynn Edith Lorraine was born!
I went up and saw them that night.
She was born 3 weeks early and is a little bruised from coming out so fast, but she's still the cutest baby I've ever seen!
