So yesterday afternoon I got a call from my mom that was definitely a bit of a scare. My cousin, Heidi, is pregnant & isn't due for another 5 weeks. Yesterday she was struggling with extremely high blood pressure & was rushed to the hospital. They were worried that if her blood pressure kept rising she would go into shock & begin to have seizures. Not something you want to hear when you're 5 weeks away from giving birth.
Well today I got another call saying that Heidi delivered a beautiful baby girl, Ellyanna Ruth, early this morning, weighing 4 lbs. 8 oz. So, the baby is still not out of the woods yet. This is my cousins second pregnancy & second set of complications...her first little girl was also 5 weeks early. Both are healthy, although Ellyanna will have to be kept in an incubator until she develops a little more. So for now, Heidi is only allowed to hold her for short periods of time. She's emotionally drained from the experience but very grateful the baby is doing well.
So, if you could, please remember Heidi & her husband Brian & their new little girl, Ellyanna, in your prayers! (Picture coming soon...hopefully!!!)
