Introducing Lee, Craig & baby (wcf) P1

October 15, 2003

Wow, where do i start?

This is the most amazing Cf Network of friends I've seen yet.

My name is Lee (short for Leanne) I am 33 and live in Western Australia. I am

originally from , but have been in WA sine 1988. I came over to visit

my brother and met a bloke named Craig. Craig has been married with 3 kids

wocf, although he doesnt get to see them. We were together 6 months and moved

in together. I had been told for 8 years I could not conceive and have had

cervical cancer twice!

In Sept 2001 I was in pain and after an ulstrasound saw the little flickering

peanut as they called it. Neddless to say we were dumbfounded. I had a

terrible pregnancy and was also hounded with HUNDREDS of phone calls everyday

from his x wife.

At 6 months I had pre eclampsia (swelling and very high blood pressure) I spent

alot of time in a nearby Private Hospital where I also worked at front reception

so it goes without saying, I was family and they looked after me like a VIP.

At 30.4 weeks I had 4++ of protein in my urine and one Feb 3rd 2002 I was flown

to Perth to have my Baby by caesar at 8 pm. Just as they wheeled me in to

thaatre they said there was another lady downstairs whos baby had a slim chance,

and that because my baby had steroid injection I had a good chance of a

perfectly healthy child. So I let them go help her.

Craig had me laughing non stop with the help of a very funny anaesthetist. I

didnt even feel the epidural, it was like a mosquito bite! Then at 10.30pm they

took me in to have him. As soon as tehy made the incision, OWWWWCH! I felt it

and it burnt. So they knocked me out. This is the hardest part about the psych

problems I have today. I didnt get to see my boy til he was 12 hours old. Boy

was he cute, they made out he was going to look like an alien. He was totally

normal, just very little. 1305g 2lb 14oz 40cm long and 27cm head. He had the

cutest little button nose and perfect thin cupids bow lips like me. I said

Hello Little Kuda! (Kuda is Craigs nickname it means MATE in Aboriginal!) I

decided straight away that I wanted to call him , and although Craig didnt

like it at firs he said Yep it is. My Mum and Dad AND Brother (who has 2

kids) flew over from to see us. They were so happy. Mum and Dad are

just crazy for Grand kids
