Melissa Pearl Liberto was born on June 17, 2007 @ 11:19 am. She weighed 6lb 4oz and was 18 inches long.
On Saturday, June 16, 2007 we arrived at the hospital at 5:30pm. I had been very tired that day, but nothing different from before. Around 5:00pm my water broke. My blood pressure was very high so they gave some magnesium to help lower my blood pressure. I was in labor for 15 hours when the doctor told us that I had preeclampsia and also that Melissa was still to high and hasn't dropped. We had to make a decision to have a C-Section. It was the best for both Melissa and I. With preeclampsia, I have to take blood pressure medicine until it goes away. So I have to make sure I don't stress and get lots of sleep! Yeah right with a newborn that's not going to happen. I'm so blessed that my mom is here to help us out. I was in the hospital from Saturday to Thursday. We got to go home on Thursday, June 21, 2007. I was so happy to say good by to the hospital!
