I am sooooooo happy for you!

If you want company at the hospital (seeing the baby) or at home Thursday - I am mostly free. Feel free to call.

Love you guys!

I'm not sure what we're doing today (besides going to the hospital), but we'll let you know. We're more likely to need help (company) next week when J goes back to work, but we're always happy to see you!

Hugs to THE HOT MOM! I have moved my schedule around so, it will be easier for us to hang out next week (if you have time).

If you need anything I am here for the three of you.

Plus, there are some baby things for you at my house.

*SQUEE!!*

I know that J told you we went shopping.. He said that I picked out exactly the same things that you did! Go us!

congrats once again!

sorry i didn't come by, i've been crazy busy getting ready to go. :)

glad to hear you're doing well and back at home safely!

fruitkakechevy May 3 2007, 16:09:01 UTC

Thank you! We had LOTS of visitors, and knowing that you were thinking of us was enough.

I look forward to hearing about your trip!

Thanks for writing about this. It's good to know what happened, and how it turned out. Like a little story, except...that it's real :(. Cin and I have been thinking about you and praying for your (and your childs) safe recovery. *hug*

Like a little story, except...that it's real :(

Exactly! A little story about things that happen to Other People! Typical HELLP syndrome happens to about 5-6 people a year at Royal Columbian, and no one has ever seen the version that I had. So strange, and apparently the strangest part is that we are now both doing so well.

I'm sure that knowing that my people were thinking about us helped me to face this thing with a little more strength than I may have otherwise. It helped me just to know that you were out there, so thank you! *hugs*

I'm so glad everything turned out so well. I'm looking forward to meeting him. I guess now we'll have to make an exception of the no boys at girl's night rule.

How do you feel about carrot cake?

fruitkakechevy May 3 2007, 16:22:38 UTC

I love carrot cake!

Hey, he won't actually be a boy for a little while yet! I think that babies are gender-neutral. We'll have to negotiate the girls night thing once he qualifies.

bacongodess May 3 2007, 17:50:51 UTC

Well, I will have to deliver a huge carrot cake for you and J to snack on. My family is a big believer in the restorative powers of baked goods.

I think the first time he shoots you with a pee pee cannon you will realize he is most definitely a boy.

Wow. You're a Mom.

fruitkakechevy May 4 2007, 15:55:17 UTC

That sounds great!

(I really am! It's the strangest thing. I'm still amazed!)

eva00 May 3 2007, 16:31:42 UTC

Wow, sweetie, how scary! I am so very, very glad everything has turned out well and that you and the little guy (and the big one too) are all alright.

fruitkakechevy May 3 2007, 16:44:22 UTC

At the time we were busy enough just existing from moment to moment; I think that it is scarier now, looking back on what could have happened. It must have been hardest for J, who had to act as well as react while I was just reacting. He was amazing.. I'm really pleased that we have a little boy, because the world needs more men like him.
