My name is Michelle I'm 29 years-old and I'm a single mom to two of the most beautiful little girls you will ever see. Farris Nicole is 8 years old and Farrin Olivia-Diane was born on 6-12-08. She wasn;t due until July 5, but I had to be induced early because of pre-eclampsia and congestive heart failure that was brought on by the pregnancy. She had to stay in NICU for a couple extra days because of jaundice, but other than that she was perfect. I'm still dealing with the heart problems that surfaced suddenly while pregnant. The doctors still don;t know if it was something that I already had deeveloped and the pregnancy made it worse or not. We are both doing great now, Farrin is growing like a weed and the doctors are ensuring me that my heart problems are correcting itself which means it more than likely was pregnancy induced. So now the doctors tell me that it would be a very bad idea to get pregnant again. I never thought I'd want more children but a doctor telling me I shouldn't makes me wonder if I was really done adding to my family. Farris is enjoying being a big sister but she is a little jealous at the same time. We're both making adjustments to having a baby in the house. I never thought I'd have a little one again.
