I am not sure if he is the first of our March babies to arrive but James Fowler Cottingham arrived on 12/28/12 at 945 am. At 26w 5d he weighed 1lb and 12oz and was 13 inches long.
Some of you may remember that I was diagnosed with PIH at 12 weeks. Apparently this caused issues with the plencenta and Fowler started showing signs of distress including heart decelerations. I was hospitalized on wed and steroids were administered. I was so blessed to be able to keep him in for 2 days for the steroids to do their job. He is doing well in the NICU and his prognosis is very promising for a very bright future.
There is a part of me that is very sad I am no longer pregnant but I know it was best for him. I just wanted to let you all know. I will try and post pictures soon but I am on mobile right now. My each of you have wonderfuly blessed pregnancies!!!!
Congratulations! You and your baby are in my prayers! What an amazingly strong baby and momma!!! Keep us updated and post pictures of your little angel
Wow, I think you might be the first March momma to have her baby! I was a little shocked to see a birth announcement already. T&Ps that he does well and keeps progressing!
