Please, prayers for my niece

[davidpizzica]

Gini, CONGRATULATIONS on being a great aunt! God was certainly watching over your niece & great nephew. I'm so glad mother & son are doing OK. {{{{HUGS}}}} to everyone!

When I started to read the thread I tried to concentrate on the thought that today (differently from 20 years ago) 6 weeks must be manageable- and now I see that you are already a great auntie and your niece and the baby are ok

I'm so happy to hear that.

{{{Hugs}}}

All of the congratulatory phone calls have been made........our family is quite wide spread - the Grandma is in Florida - the Grandpa is in Brazil - and the brand new parents live in Northern California.

It has been stressed that the first 24 hours are critical not only for Mom, but the baby too.

On a funny side note - the brand new Daddy is an attorney - his specialty is medical malpractice. I am sure the hospital knows that.

The other good news is that the new Mommy is a psychologist - and she works at the hospital facility where her son has been born. So everyone knows her and everyone will be inquiring after her.

Again, thanks for your prayers - I KNEW I should share this on Pet Talk!!

I am very grateful!♥♥♥♥

Glad to hear the baby is doing well. And to be born on Mother's Day - that must be so special. Congratulations.

No news this morning - so that is good news!! I didn't sleep too well last night and every time I woke up I was thinking about Bev and her baby.

This beautiful young girl was 29 years old - a size 5 - a vegetarian - and ran 5 miles a day - and bammo - a full blown type one diabetic - at the age of 29. She has done such an incredible job managing this horrific disease. I have heard such horror stories about diabetic women having children. My neighbor that many Pet Talker's have met - is a diabetic. She has a daughter and carried her second child full term - but they "did something wrong" at the hospital - and her second child died. I believe it happened when they were administering the glucose to the baby. She has never gotten over that loss. However, she has a third child - a son.

So this may give you some groundwork to realize why I was so worried.

Karen - I'm not sure - but the baby will be a cousin - once removed? I never have figured that stuff out.

Rachel - I forgot my nephew's birthday this year and I too was mortified - ain't getting old grand?

Again, thank you for your prayers - I want to be sure to tell my niece that she had prayers coming in from all over the world - just for her and the baby.
