[Amys1st]

Hi everyone-<br><br>
Let me be the first baby to introduce-<br><br>
Margaret Patricia came into this world in a surprise way this past Wednesday at 5:30pm via an extreme emergency c section. She is a light weight weighing in at 1 lb, 13 ozs, 12 inches.<br><br>
She is currently in a local hospital (one of the best nicus) in the NICU and is thriving. When she was delivered, her little mouth let out a shout, she was extrmely pink and had an apgar of 8,9,9. She also responded to Bob talking to her and grabs onto things right away. We are hoping her fiesty personality helps her in this battle over the next few months. So prayer for us and I hope the other babies stay in the oven and cook longer.<br><br>
So pray for Maggie!

Oh My!! Congratulations. I am so happy that she's doing well considering all she's been through. I hope she continues to thrive. Those are some wonderful apgars. Thanks for reminding me that not every babe waits until their edd to make an appearance. I hope you're doing well too.

I came upon this thread right after I stopped singing Maggie May, which must mean something... welcome to little Maggie, who was in such a hurry to be here. She sounds like a strong little girl.<br><br>
