« on: April 18, 2008, 10:43:31 PM »

We did it!!!   :yahoo; I had a baby while on home hemodialysis (NxStage).   :birthday;  We went 36 weeks and 4 days! Her name is Kaylynn.  She was born 4/18/08 at 10:36 at Duke University Medical Center.  She weighs 6 lbs 0.3 oz and she is 19 inches long!  She was delivered via c-section.  Her Apgar scores were 8/9.  She is healthy and hungry!  That's Kaylynn in the profile picture.  More details to come!
