My name is Stacey James, and I am 31 yrs old (for 3 more weeks, anyway *sniff*). I live in Connecticut, USA with my husband = Michael (31 yrs old for 4 more weeks), Child #1 = Ryan (2 yrs old - July '97) when severe PE came on rather suddenly and strong about 34-35 weeks. I was hospitalized immediately ("Do NOT go home first!") and induced the next day due to quickly deteriorating blood results, etc. Ryan had to spend 2 weeks in the NICU due to problems mostly associated with prematurity. I'm praying for the best with this pregnancy, but fearing the worst.

Child #2 = Molly Louise. Molly was born at 5:45pm on April 21st. She weighed 7lbs 7 oz and was 21" long. She was born just 2 days shy of her due date, too! She's a beauty! Ended up having to have a c-section due to her positioning. I had threats of PE in my last trimester, but it all turned out okay!

Interests? Hmmm.... I love to play on the internet, work on our landscaping, watch tv, and whatever else keeps me from cleaning! Actually, I'm a bit of a neat-freak, so that's usually what I'm doing around the house.
