Proud New Freeper Baby (and Freeper Daddy)!
Hospital! | Today | Me

Posted on 03/29/2004 8:50:57 PM PST by TheBattman

Just wanted to post pictures of my new Baby Girl!

My wife was found to be suffering from Preeclampsia and the baby didn't have much amniotic fluid (would up even less!). Early delivery (32 weeks)was an absolute must for both Mommy and Baby.

Baby and Mommy are doing great!

Anna Elizabeth was born approximately 1:30 PM via C-section and weighs 3 lbs 11 oz.

Praise the Lord for the strenght he have us all and most especially to Baby Anna. Anna will get to come home when she reaches 4.5 lbs and is eating properly.

The Dr. is already backing off on the oxygen, as she is breathing very well on her own.

And the proud daddy with Baby Anna!

Just a couple of updated pictures. Anna is doing quite well. Her next Dr. Appt. (and next shots...ugh) are July 27.

Here she is with her Grandpa (My Father):

And here is a a close-up taken moments later. She sure looks happy!

What a smile she has for grandpa. Looks like she is getting the best of care. My 8 month old grandson is starting to walk and is into everthing. Get ready. They just keep getting cuter and soon you will get to buy bigger toys. Thanks for the update on little Freeper Anna. She is a beauty.

Anna had her Dr. Appt. today – and second round of shots (oh boy).

Anyway, thought everyone would want an update so ---

Weight: 12 lbs 13 oz.

Length 23 inches

Head: 16 1/4 inches

According to the charts, she has officially caught-up. She is now right in the middle of the development charts for a 4 month old UNADJUSTED for her preemie birth! So she is right where she should be even if she was not a preemie.

All looks good – Dr. said to keep up the great work – so there we have it!

Another interesting comment from the Dr. Last appt, we were reminded that many preemie, and most who are breech need physical therapy for their legs. We were given contact info with Easter Seals. We received info, but didn’t pursue it yet (under the impression it would be quite expensive – and that she likely wouldn’t need it immediately). Well, we found out that what insurance doesn’t cover, the state does. Fine. What was even more interesting is that after the Dr’s exam, she said she is 100% sure Anna doesn’t need it. She said that at 4 months it becomes obvious that they will need it. Signs would be no effort to put feet down when held vertically, no effort to support weight with legs, not putting legs down when laying down, poor muscle tone in the legs, etc. Anna has no problem with any of this – and has “great” muscle tone (so the Dr. said).

Dr. was also impressed that Anna is already taking “foods” pretty well. She said preemies usually take longer to “get the hang” of eating other than formula/milk from the bottle.

So all was great news! PRAISE GOD!

Anna had just been upset (just a good case of fussy) and Phoebe decided she could take calm her - it worked!

You guys must be doing a good job. She looks great. Wonderful pictures. My 9 month grandson is about the size of a one year old right now and just starting to walk. You better get all the rest you can because you are going to need it. Raising future freepers is a lot of work. Enjoyed the update. Thanks.

Long time since my last update - but all is going very well.

Next round of baby shots are tomorrow (Monday) so we should get an update on her weight. I can say with confidence that she is REALLY growing.

What's interesting - she doesn't seem to care two beans about trying to crawl - although she will roll herself all over the place. Instead, she likes to stand up. She is now standing upright with little leaning or support (and sometimes for brief periods no leaning!).

She also likes to sleep in her Mommy's lap:

YEP! Same tiny baby - but she's not tiny any more!

I will post back this evening when I know what she weighs now.

Update from today's Dr. Appt.

Weight: 16 lbs. 6 oz.

Length: 25 3/4 inches

Her shots didn't seem to bother her as bad this time either - so maybe sleep tonight???

How wonderful, God bless you all.

Would you kiss the baby in the crook of the neck for me, thank you, that is my favorite baby kissing spot.

Congratulations. What a wonderful picture. There is nothing more peacefully rewarding than having your sond or daughter sleep next to you or give you their first smile that you capture. Here is one of my little hero.
