Shannon has been having a really good experience being a surrogate for this lovely family.
Pregnancy has been going great and she has been feeling good.
The last few weeks she has finally been feeling like she would like to be done.
Chasing Buddy has become impossible so he has been kind of having a hey day.
Shannon checks her Blood Pressure every so often when Brian checks his.
Her's was kind of high on Friday. If I remember some of the facts correctly,
Saturday morning her limbs began to feel tingly.
By Sunday her doctor said to go to the ER and be checked out.
She was admitted with Preeclampsia.
Brian brought the kids in Sunday night with chocolate cookies.
Little Orphan Annie here.
I believe Monday Buddy had a little mishap at Preschool.
No one saw what happened, but he knocked out his front tooth.
Now he will be toothless on the upper and bottom in the exact same place.
He knocked out his baby tooth on the bottom when it was barely coming in.
Shannon and baby Kiwi were closely monitored Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and both were doing good so Shannon enjoyed a few days of Hospital Spa treatment. Wednesday night her blood pressure spiked so it was time to deliver the baby.
Meet Baby Kiwi.
Born Jan 27th at 10:02 PM
4 lbs 15 oz
Her Apgar number was 9
Her original scheduled C Section was Feb 26th.
Shannon is feeling much better today - Friday. Thursday was rough with side affects from all the medications that were administered to bring down her blood pressure. She thinks she will be ready to go home on Sunday. She doesn't know yet when baby will go home with her family.

I'm so glad that Shannon is doing well. And baby Kiwi---so cute---maybe its because the pictures are close-ups, but she looks bigger than 4 lbs (well, she is one ounce short of 5 lbs). Poor Buddy! Good thing they're all baby teeth. He looks so cute!
