PEYTON ELIZABETH!!!!

peyton elizabeth is here!!!
i went in for my dr. appt friday afternoon and they sent me to the hospital for my high bp once again. so i waited and waited as they monitored my bp. it really didn't go down. so i walked myself over to the hospital. they monitored my bp some more and did labs and the one for uric acid came back high so the on call dr wanted to keep me overnight to observe me and retake the labs in the morning and if they still came back high then he'd do the c-section the following day. so obviously one of the labs came back high and so the c-section was scheduled for later that day.
and tada, peyton was born 11/22/08 @2:02 p.m.
weighing in at 5.7 and 18 inches long!

congratulations, selle, jino, and taylor! and all the aunties, uncles, and grandparents, too! she is "super tiny" (i can hear selle's voice as she writes that.) kekoa wore premie clothes when he was born too. so glad that everything is going well - praise God!
