Ciggy Ciggy!

And nothing happened after 3 months...

A bad thing for this blog but for us- no post-eclampsia meaning - everything is good. And the baby? She had a part of her heart underdeveloped but a few weeks later her heart matured fully so everything is absolutely fantastic. Here take a look at the rock baby:



I don't know where she got that really huge nose. Mine is "just huge". Just.

What I want to do to close this series is give out information as much as I can about pre-eclampsia. So let's get started.

1. Here's your wikipedia pre-eclampsia page. It's full of jargon though. Try reading my previous posts (aside from the nasty grammar, my wife's dread) it is pretty much like "yes, that's what it is".
2. Here's an org that I refer to during those hypertensive months - The Pre-eclampsia Foundation.
3. Did anybody say videos? Here.
4. And here's an international forum about the disease. Those are mommy forums. You know what to expect.

Aside from the hideous grammar from my previous posts (you have to understand my grammar nazi, that I was stressed-out constantly thus the grammatical stutter), the previous months that we had were more of a blessing rather than a curse. The strength that we got by being through the eye of the storm bears more weight than the agony that fell on us all of a sudden.

Thank you for all the friends that prayed, encouraged, advised, called, sms-ed and forced me to tell the story all over (and over) again (oh the pain!).

Good stuff!
