Well when I was at the shower yesterday, my friend was complaining of being crampy. I guess we should have taken her a little more seriously. I get a call at 8AM this morning, she had the baby lat night at 9:45PM! Hello-I said goodbye to her at 5PM!!! I was so stunned, I asked her what she had-duh! We all knew it was a girl, but yet I was so in shock I did not know what to say. She is almost 4 weeks early, but weighed in at 4 pounds 8 oz and is doing fine! Mom and Dad are doing well after a quick delivery.
It was so quick, the nurse had to deliver the baby and barely had time to put on the gloves. She says the baby came flying out! She litterally went from 0 to 60 in minutes. She went from 1-2 centimeters dialated to 9-10 in 1/2 hour!!!
I ran out to Babys R Us at lunchtime in hopes of finding preemie clothes, but they do not sell them any longer. I did get some preemie diapers, a soft doll and one newborb sleeper. I went to see her and baby tonight. My timing is awful. Within minutes of me getting there, her whole family arrived. I did not get to see the baby as she was in the NICU and visitors had to be escorted by guests. I 'll come back tomorrow or see them when they get home. Her family should see the baby tonight.
It was kinda tough, knowing I should have been having my baby this week. My best form of therapy is facing everything head on. I am happy for them and know that our day will come, hopefully very soon. Welcome Danielle!!! Now here's a girl that knows how to make an entrance!

Much luck to you. Your adoption page is nice. It is difficult to explain the feelings of loss after birthing. Loss is loss regardless of having another child. We appreciate where you are coming from and wish you the best on the domestic adoption! MaliMai
P.S. Life is strange - how difficult that Danielle was delivered the week of your due date. Mothers know these things. You have such a great attitude and happiness for them.
