My mommy became pregnant on April 1st, 1998. She and daddy were so excited because they had been trying for a year and a half. Mommy went through the regular checkups and everything was fine. On October 10th, mommy went to her usual checkup and the doctor told her that I would be about 8 1/2lbs when I was born. Boy was he wrong. On October 18th, mommy had went to work that morning and didn't feel well. She even threw up her breakfast outside. She called her boss and informed him of her health and he agreed to find someone to replace her. She was allowed to go home at 1:00 pm instead of 3:00. She was going to go home and lay down but she decided to go and find a battery for her car instead. Her and daddy went to the mall They were standing at the counter of Taco Time waiting for their lunch when mommy felt something. She looked down to find blood. She informed daddy and he went and got the car and took mommy to the closest hospital. She was only 30 and 2/7th weeks at this point. When she got to the hospital, they rushed her upstairs and started magnesium sulfate to stop the contractions. When that didn't work, she was transferred to another hospital more equipped to handle the situation. This was around 6:00pm. A neonatal doctor came in and gave mommy another ultrasound to see if she had broken her water, when they noticed she hadn't and she wasn't dialating, they decided to take me c-section. Mommy and daddy were very scared, I wasn't due for 10 more weeks. There were lots of people to support mommy and daddy. Both of my Grandmas were there, my Aunt Beau and Uncle Steve (mommy's neighbors), my Aunt Cindy (mommy's friend), and her daughter jessica (we are exactly 6 months apart). The doctor was afraid daddy would passout so my Aunt Beau went in with mommy. I was born at 8:03 pm at 2lbs 15oz and 15 1/2 inches. I came out screaming with red hair and rushed to the NICU. I wasn't in that bad of shape, my apgars were 7 and 8 and I was nice and pink. Mommy didn't get to see me until a few hours later but she was happy nontheless I spent 6 farely uneventful weeks in the NICU and came home November 27th, 1998, weighing 4lbs 5oz. The next few years, so far has been fun and a little scary. I'm now 4 1/2 and I go to school and I also have a little sister, Kaelyn. Please stay and look around. My mommy will keep you updated on my progress. I hope you enjoy the rest of my site. Thanks for coming. Alyssa  Pictures
