It's been a very scary week but very fulfilling indeed!

December 8, 2008 - It really felt weird the day before. Iyah's movement inside me changed and today I felt nothing even if I eat or drink cold juices of sweets. Called my doctor to ask for advice. I was advised to go and have an ultrasound as soon as possible and don't waste time. The scan is called BPS (biophysical profile scoring) where they test the baby's movements, breathing, responsed to stress and other stuff... 8/8 means the baby is doin ok; 6/8 mean there could be a problem and 4/8 means the worst.

The result came back 6/8 and there is a note that my water is not sufficient anymore, baby is small for her destational age and there is no breathing movement found which really scared me to death. I was advised by the sonologist to rush to my doctor or to the Delivery room... so I went...

At the delivery room they checked me out... hooked me on a fetal monitor and checked my BP every hour. My OB decided to perform C Section the next day because of the amount of water I have left inside me and my BP. Baby is still doin okay.

I am starving to death... ate 7am in the morning and nothing else until 10pm that day.

December 9, 2008 - C Section is scheduled at 8:30am today. They took me to the Operating Room at 7am for pre OP procedures... Baby came out at 9:04am and I left the Recovery Room at about 11am back tp my room.

I starved until the next day. I can't speak, eat or drink until the next day. They are still waiting for me to FART... imagine???

Anyway, to cut the story short...

I gave birth to my daughter, SAFIYA SHANNEN, 3.6lbs only and is 2wks premature. She is required to stay in the hospital ... no update yet on when she could go home... I hope within next week...max is Friday Dec 19, 2008.

Please continue to pray for her... i pray i can take her home already... Love you so much baby!
