Kayleigh Bree Carter 8/27/2011 born pre mature 34 weeks <3

bnmoore101 - 11:33pm Feb 25, 2012 EST

my Daughter Kayleigh Bree Carter was born at 34 weeks but before i tell you about it lets back up a little. first i was put on best rest at 30 weeks because my abdomine was hurting and id been submitted into the hospital twice for false labor pains. The second time i was diagnosed with Preclampsia (i had very high blood pressure and protein in my urine). so i went home on bed rest. well 4 weeks later at my 34 week check up my blood pressure was high. once again i was admitted into the hospital right from the obgyn office in Lagrange, Ky i was there for two days when they decided i was going to moved to the university of Louisville. when i got there of course i was sacred my baby was in danger no one wants that. we were admitted iwas put on medicine for my high blood pressure right away. then they started the inducing medicine i got an epidural the next day at around 11:00pm that night my contractions started and then they broke my water it took about 2 hours for all that to happen. at 1:05am on August 27 my little girl Kayleigh Bree Carter was born a pre mature baby. i only got to kiss her before she was rushed to the NICU there. i was one of the hardest days of my life. at about 6 or 7 o clock that morning i finally got to see my baby girl for the first time ever. she was hooked to a ventalator and had a million cords on her. after about 2 days she was takin off the ventalator and put on oxygen she was givin a feeding tube and still had to be monitored. we werent aloud to hold her for the longest time i wounldnt know what i would have done if i wasn't able to touch her but thank god we were. the about 2 weeks later she was takin off the feeding tube and we were able to hold and feed her and change diapers i was so relieved about a week later she got to come home on september 20th. <3 she's our little miracle <4

Welcome to SHARE. Congratulations on your baby girl Kayleigh! I know how scary it is to have a premature baby and I'm so glad to know that she met her NICU goals, and came home. I bet she is bringing you so much joy. Enjoy each and every minute of it and take lots of pictures! She'll marvel at how small she once was as she grows:)
