 Caitlyn
Mae Holmes
On July 7, 2005 my miracle came to me. At 7 months into my pregnancy
I had extremly high blood pressure and my doctor decided it was time for
me to have my baby to save her life and mine. After 22 grueling
hours of labor and no pain medication (I was allergic and they could only
get the
epidural half way in) the doctor elected for a c-section. At 8:30 on
the
8 Caitlyn was born weighing in at 2lbs 7 oz, 3 pounds less than they
estimated on the ultrasound. Caitlyn was born perfect, she let out a
good
cry and when the doctors looked at her they couldnt believe that she didn't
need oxygen. Six weeks later Caitlyn had finally reached the magical
4 pound mark and the doctors finally let my bundle of joy come home with
me.
At the age of 4 months Caitlyn was determined not to let being premature
stand in her way, so she got her self up on all fours and started
crawling.
Caitlyn is now 7 months old(5 months gestational) and she is pulling
herself up and walking if she can ho!
ld on to something. She just won third place in a beauty contest and
is
into everything. The doctors still cant believe how well she is
doing.
Caitlyn Mae Holmes is truly my miracle baby.
