Introducing Mia Ellen Cowley, born 4th August at 13:51 and weighing in at an incredible 3.24Kg which is 7lb 4oz in the old scale. Ceasarian section.
Recently very few things have gone to plan for the both of us and this particular time was no exception, however our luck changed yesterday as we heard the crying from our baby and we turned in to a family.
We had been prepared to have Mia whisked away to the Childrens Hospital and not actually getting much of a chance to spend any time with her. We discovered however, that Mia was a fighter and has adapted to the Congenital Heart Problem extremely well. She is breathing, sucking and crying as well as any baby, and as I am writing this she is lying in front of us in the room with not a tube or machine attatched.
Life is funny sometimes just when you feel you must have not only broken a mirror but driven a bull dozer through a factory of them your faith gets restored. We still have a long path to travel with the first operation due at around 4-6 weeks. However until then there is nothing more we can do than love our little miracle and help her grow.
