Meet Emma Jayne - our little niece

WOW! This has been a roller coaster 2 weeks for us. It all started 2 weeks ago when my sister, who is pregnant, went to the ER thinking she was having a miscarriage. The ER doc told that she was, but the next day she went to her regular doctor and he said no the baby is fine and she needs to rest. She will be having a followup ultrasound on Monday. Please pray everything continues to be OK.
Monday this week my brother and his wife had their little baby girl. Emma Jayne was born Monday afternoon weighing in at 3.8Kg (about 8 lb). A few hours after the birth, Melanie (mom) had a drop in blood pressure and was hemorrhaging. She was unable to recognise my brother. 36 hours later she is OK and the doctors are a little puzzled at what might have caused her to have such a reaction. They have since said they think it was a drug interaction. Mom and baby are doing well now and are at home resting.

  1. Love the name they have chosen. Where are they, New Zealand? I can't remember. Glad to hear that all are well and smiling for the camera.

  2. Okay, so I got my geography backwards. I knew they were far away. Aren't blogs nice and the internet is the best. You feel like you can almost reach out and touch the people you love that are so far away. I guess you could say that it was the next best thing to being there.
