She has arrived! A whole month early but very healthy!

Abigail Avez (pronounced AVIS) was born on November 19th 2007 at 10:11 pm.

Some of my design clients may be saying - WHAT!? You had a baby? I didn’t even know you were pregnant!

Due to our past history of pregnancy problems and our little girl dying at birth a few years ago, I am VERY gun shy when it comes to announcing any pending arrivals.

Aside from being hospitalized early on, everything was going great until right before I delivered. My blood pressure took a flying leap and my good friend preeclampsia came back to visit me. The doctor delivered me and Abigail had to spend a week in the NICU before being released last Monday. I was re-admitted the following day because my blood pressure started rising again. My poor husband was left at home with all 4 kids, including a newborn! He managed fine thankfully. So if you wondered why my email responses have been slow, now you know!

I am feeling much better and Abigail is doing fantastic!

I had taken the month of December off as she was due December 20th. Hopefully I will have a chance to finish some articles I was working on related to marketing and blogging and get them posted.

Just thought I’d post a little update and share our good news.

Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving.
