Yesterday we had a little girl, Jill Anne Diehl
She was born at 6:16 a.m. on 3 July 2008 and weighed 3570 grams (7,9 pounds).
On Tuesday Sandra has the early signs of preeclampsia (high blood pressure and abnormal lab results) and the
OB/GYN decided to admit her that evening and induce labor the following morning (Wednesday). Jill was one
week overdue at this point. The labor was long (23 hrs) and despite her best efforts, San's body and Jill didn't get the hint that it was time. The doctor then rightly decided to perform a C-section after it was clear that a natural delivery wasn't possible anymore. Sandra had a hard time with the epidural with elevated BP again, buy yesterday the excellent staff at the Kennemer Gasthuis Hospital in Haarlem got everything under control. jill has been a veryhapy and satisfied baby which mama and papa really appreciate during mama's recovery.
We'll be in the hospital and will update here as we get time.
Clover is less happy about going down a rung on the ladder, but will get used to it and will be a fantastic big sister.
Love, Sean, Sandra, Jill, and Clover
