Pregnant after a Loss

Well, baby Charlotte and I were discharged from the hospital yesterday at just 48 hrs after c/s. She's doing great and all the nurses & her pediatrician kept remarking how alert of a baby she is. We're still working on nursing skills so in the meantime, I'm pumping & feeding her via syringe or bottle.
Even though I had a low grade fever just before the c/s, they gave me IV antibiotics pretty quickly and my temp was back to normal by the time I was leaving the OR so baby didn't get treated at all and she did great. I think I ended up with the low fever because when my water originally broke, it was a pin-hole break so all day friday I just thought I was losing parts of mucus plug all day (not enough to soak pants/shorts) but then we went to the hospital Sat morning to get it checked out...so it had probably been 24 hrs already that it had broken. I tested positive for amniotic fluid so they admitted me, the doc came to check my cervix and felt membrane so he broke my water WIDE open and we went from there.
So here's a picture of Charlotte at 1 day old, in her daddy's lap. Thanks to all the love & support from PGAL over the past 1+ yr as we suffered our loss (blighted ovum discovered at 7 wks in Apr 11) all the way to our beautiful baby girl! Sending T & Ps to all the rest of you for your take home babies!
