Lee from WA

[Guest guest]

Hi Lee,

Welcome to this list. My name is and I am in Adelaide. Nice to

see more Aussies on the list.

(S.A.)

Introducing Lee, Craig & baby (wcf) P1

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 Victo! ria to see

us. They were so happy. Mum and Dad are just crazy for Grand kids
