As of 8 September 2009 I am the aunt of a brand new baby girl named Breelie Reese Paul.
She is a miracle of God as she was delivered emergency c-section style late last Tuesday. My sister went to the hospital with symptoms that added up to a condition called preclampcia (no ide how that is spelled). Complications with high blood pressure and fluid on the lungs caused the almost immediate c-section once she arrived. As her hubby and son were at football practice when she drover herself to the hospital, they barely made it in time for the delivery. The first couple of days for the new mommy were a haze as blood pressure medication left her groggy and drowsy, and breathing treatments left her exhausted. But she was home by Saturday evening in time to watch the USC vs. Ohio State football game.
