Preslee at 4 weeks

Yes these pics are old now. Preslee will be 10 weeks tomorrow. I LOVE these. I may be a little bias but I swear she is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen.

Baby Preslee is finally here!!

I realize that it has been forever since I have posted on here and I apologize for my laziness. My beautiful daughter Preslee Nicole Snow was born Tuesday September 1st at 7:42AM at St. Marks hospital. She was 6lbs. 14oz. and 20 inches long. I started having contractions on Monday night at 11:30 that were 5 minutes apart. I called the hospital after an hour of that and the nurse said to stay home until they were 3 minutes apart. My contractions hurt like heck of course but there was no way that I was going to go to the hospital and get sent home. Around 3AM Nick suggested that we go for a walk so up and down the street we went for a while until the contractions came 3 min apart. At around 5:30AM I decided that I needed an epidural ASAP so we got ready(we hadn't packed anything yet) and went to the hospital. When we got there I was 4cm dilated so I got my epidural. I was feeling pretty good until my heart rate started to drop and I almost passed out a few times. My amazing Dr. Clayton Wilde got there at about 7AM which is not normal. Usually Dr.'s don't come until the patient is ready to push. He had been there about 10 minutes when he said that he was going to break my water and put a monitor on the babies head. When he broke my water all i heard was, "Oh shit!". That isn't really what you want to hear at that moment. He took his hand out and it was full of blood and clots.(Its supposed to be clear) He started yelling to get the OR ready and someone put oxygen on my face. Of course they were all too busy yelling and running around to tell me or Nick what the heck was going on so I start bawling like crazy. Nick was so great. He looked scared but he just kept telling me that it was going to be ok. Later he said that he had never been so scared in his whole life. He was right by my side while the Dr. did his thing and I puked my guts out. So the next thing I know I hear someone say what a cute baby she is. I didn't feel a thing and didn't know that they had even started the surgery yet. The baby was a little lethargic at first but she got better quickly. Afterwards the Dr. told me that Preslee's heart rate had gone from 120 to 50 and that my placenta had torn away from my uterus and that if she would have been in there another 30 min that she would have died. She truly is our miracle baby. We are so blessed that the Dr. was there when he was and acted so quickly to save her life. Nick is an amazing dad. He changes diapers, feeds her, baths her. He does it all. I am so blessed to have him as my husband and I love him so much. We are both home now and doing good. Here are some pics of my little sweetie. Thanks to everyone who called and visited and brought food and all that good stuff. It has been greatly appreciated.

Its official...We are having a little baby girl!!! We are so excited. We actually found out about three weeks ago but I am a slacker. I cant wait to see Nick with his little sweetheart. As far as names go I really love Preslei but Nick isnt crazy about it. He really loves Morgan but Im not crazy about that. If you know of any cute and not too common names let me know.

Oh Baby!!

Well most of you probably know by now but MY EGG-O IS PREGGO!!! Its true. I can't believe it myself most of the time. I am 11 weeks today. I have been wanting to post this since week 4 but Nick had to restrain me. It has been a long time coming. We have had 2 previous miscarriages so we decided to wait a little bit to post it. I must say that I have been feeling pretty crappy but I just keep telling myself that it is well worth it and I would go through anything for this little miracle. Nick and I honestly don't care if it's a boy or a girl. I see a cute little boy and I really want a boy. Then I see all of the cute girl clothes and hair stuff and I really want a girl. Nick says it might be better if we have a boy because he wont be able to ever say no to a little girl and she would be the most spoiled little monster ever. I think that we would spend way more money on a girl but it would be so fun too. Whatever God wants us to have we will be forever greatful for. I went to my first doctor's appointment last week and we were able to have an ultrasound. It was amazing! We saw the little head and arms and legs. We got to see and hear the heartbeat and the little peanut even kicked a little. This is getting a little long so I will leave it at that. I will keep you all posted though.
