Brittany will turn 9 years old at 7:15 pm tonight. She weighed 6lbs 4 oz and was 19 3/4 long. My beautiful baby girl is now turning 9! I want to cry...kids grow so fast.
Brittany's pregnancy wasn't the easiest..numerous hospital visits due to pre-term labor, gestational diabetes and so on. On one hospital stay the doctors couldn't stop labor, my room was FILLED with all kinds of doctors and nurses, specialist and machines. The neonatal specialist had informed us of their equipment and procedures, the doctors had given me steroid shots that went directly to Brittany's lungs to help her survive when she did deliver...doctors predicted by the next night we would have a baby born at 23 weeks gestation.
Everyone was praying and praying hard.
God listened.
Labor stopped
Doctors, specialist and nurses were stunned.
I knew my baby was strong and would be a fighter
Full bed rest was prescribed
Then partial bed rest
She made it the full 9 months...then didn't want to come out.
Doctors had to induce me.
Today Brittany's attitude is still "I want it now or forget about it". She's very strong willed and will fight to the end for what she believes in and wants.
Brittany "britter-bo-bop" we love you SO SO much!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
