My heart goes out to her because I've been there - preeclampsia, appendicitis, gestational diabetes, HELLP syndrome, vision loss, organ failure, swelling, etc. All of that in one pregnancy, and I really did think I would lose my mind. The difference, of course, is that I had a very supportive husband and I wasn't facing the prospect of placing my baby for adoption. K is also facing opposition from her own mother about placing the baby, although she kept saying, "I know I can't raise this baby. I know he's supposed to be born to bless your family." She needs lots of prayers right now, so if you're a praying person, please say a few for her.
On our end, other than worrying about her and the baby, I've also been preparing the nursery for baby Joseph. Kent and I spent last Saturday painting our changing table/dresser and putting together the new crib. I plan on putting some vinyl lettering above the crib with his name "Joseph" and some pictures of sun, moon and stars. I'm also going to put up pictures of Joseph once he's born. Here's what it looks like now:

oh kim, I am so happy for you and understand your birthmothers pain. I will pray for you all. I wanted to tell you that Bailey my youngest was born at 34 weeks because of that and he and I are obviously doing well but he did great, he was in the hospital only 4 days and came home on the fourth day, so things do turn out okay through all the stress. Goodluck and Godbless you all. Deanna
Poor woman. I hope she makes it through all this OK.
