Nothing (medical) is ever easy for the Williams Girls

The good news is Ella Grace has arrived and is a healthy, beautiful little girl. As I said before, she weighed in at 6 lbs. 7 ounces, 19 1/2 inches at 1;07 p.m. November 22. Jenny has had a diificult time, but is recovering. Her contractions started before she was dialated. She had a 34 hour labor, then the doc discovered the baby was face up instead of face down. The granola doctor didn't call a C-section, but (this is gross) had her hand in the birth canal turning Ella as she progressed down during the pushing stage. Then after the birth, Jenn developed a form of pre-eclampsia which happens post partum!! This means her blood pressure shot up to 212/100 plus and her body was at risk to "shut down". Serious stuff. She is now on meds to stop that, so pray all will progress well today.
