Rhys Ethan Diaz was born on February 7th at 7:21 am weighing in at 6 pounds 9 ounces and 18.5 inches. My hubby and I arrived at the hospital at 5:00 am, filled out some paperwork, answered some questions and had my IV placed. Man, the IV hurt really bad, plus the nurse who administered the IV the first time said the vein blew, so she had to place it in again. It was really weird when they had me walk to the operating room, the anesthegeologist (sp??) gave me the spinal block (which didnt hurt) at 6:59 am and by 7:21 out came little Rhys. I had to say that not finding out the sex till the day was very exciting. The whole experience was amazing!!!!

My name is Susie and I have one son. He was supposed to be born on Tax Day (April 15) but instead was born on Valentines day (Feb 14). He weighed 2.13 oz and was 13.5 inches tall. I was diagnosed with preeclampsia which rapidly became eclampsia. My husband witnessed me having a grand mal seizure in which he called the nurses in and about 10 minutes later my son was born. After they peformed the crash c - section, I had another grand mal seizure in front of all the doctors. Nonetheless, everything turned out good, my son is now 3 1/2 years old and is very excited to be a big brother. Hope to make some friends on the site and congratulations to all you mommies out there
