Member: KAB (Sarah) Baby's Name: Lucy Anne Baby's DOB: 28/02/05 Baby's Stats: 2890g, 48cms, 34cms Angel Babies: Katelyn Anne at 18 weeks Notes: After losing Katelyn at i was diagnosed with Factor V Leiden (hetrozygos one gene). Depending on which doctor you asked they were not sure whether or not this had anything to do with Katelyn's passing or not. It was recommened that i take 100mg of Aspirin until 7 weeks when i started 40mg injections of Clexane daily for the rest of the pregnancy. We had an elective C/S at 38 weeks due to the advice of our wonderful OB and Lucy was born screaming which is the sound that i most wanted to hear. Despite all the joy that Lucy has brought us we still miss our Angel Katelyn more than words can say but it was worth all the heartache and pain to hold both my babies in my arms. When Lucy is old enough she will know that she has an older sister in Heaven. Lucy has been such an excellent baby and is such a joy in our lives my hubby always says that Katelyn had a little word with her before she came. Hang in there guys to hold that breathing baby is the best feeling in the world she is the light of my life.
