Hello,

My name is Stephanie (my friends call me Steph). I am 35 years old. My husband and I have been together for 17 years (married 15 years)

We have 3 kids and one on the way. At the beginning of our reationship I was told I might not get preg. (Man is not God, Man said No, God said Yes!!!) We tried for 6 years to get pregnant. Our first child, DD Sadie is now 10yo. A great kid. She was the best baby I had ever met in my life. Rarely cried, she was a early learner. She was potty trained and walked by age one. She is a A-B Honor roll student.

I had her in Jan. I went on the pill. By April I was Preg. again! We had 2 babies in one year. Only one came home.

Our middle child's name is "k.J." he passed away 22 days after fighting to make it in this world.

He died due to Uterine Rupture and Medical Negligence. He was born in Dec. He was a 36 weeker he weighed 7lbs 14 1/2 oz 19 3/4 long. A big perfect baby. He had Brain Stem Death due to lack of oxygen. It took 4 min. to revive him. (after birth)

We were told that we may never have kids again. (Ha!!)

The time it takes a "Normal" woman to have a baby God allowed me that time to heal. Nine months later, I was pregnant with our son!

In 2000 We had a Healthy son!

Michael was born at 35 weeks. He stayed in hosp. for 6 days. He was a little jaundice. We brought him home on a billireuben light. (on that for 11 days)

He weighed 7lbs 2oz 20in long.

We have been trying for 7 years now. I finally gave up in Jan. I turned it over to the Lord.

I am pregnant now with another little miracle. I am due Dec. the 28th but I will go as soon as the baby's lungs are ready. I am praying that I can go at 35 weeks again.

I would love to meet and stay in contact with other Dec. moms!

God bless and I look forward to meeting you (all)

I saw my Peri last Thurs. He was GREAT. My due date is the 28th of Dec. I was worried, that is the day before my son's birthday (the one that passed). He said we will have the c-section at 36 weeks. Praise God, what a load off of my mind. I am going in tomorrow for the Down's Ultrasound. I will update more. Hmm, I also lost 10 lbs. I am 13 weeks preg. but look huge. lol I never showed this early.

6-24-08 I had my ultrasound today. Lol, little one stayed face up. I had 3 techs and my Peri. They wiggled my belly, pushed my belly nothing worked. Little one stayed behind my belly button! Could not get the proper testing for the Down's so I had the labs drawn and will do the quad testing n 3 weeks. I see my peri in 3 weeks and another ultrasound in 6 weeks. I will be 19 weeks then. Hb was 154, it was 170 at 8 weeks. Is that normal?

7-28-08 update:

I saw my Peri. I Have A Due Date!! YEA!! lol. Dec. the 3rd 2008. I am so excited. He did say that if I start contracting early that he won't make me wait, he will take the baby right then. I will update next week. Tues. is my ultrasound visit.

It's A GIRL!!!

Sarah Rane. Expected to be a c-section on Dec. 03rd 2008. Praise God, thank you Jesus!

new ticker for my new due date.
