Cheryl - sorry I must be very tired.  Was what a total surprise?  I&#39;m thinking the fact that she had the baby a month early?  No - as I have posted here ad nauseum  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />  she has been bleeding since the beginning of the pregnancy and the Dr had her on total bed rest.  Because of her placenta previa the Dr has told her that she would be scheduled two weeks before due date for a C-Section... but if the bleeding and pain persisted she would have to have the baby sooner.  I spoke to her 3 days ago and she was in a lot of pain and said that she felt the birth was imminent.  This morning she started hemoraging again... so the Dr did the emergency C-Section.  We were hoping that it would have been closer to June 10th - but with the fact that Nathaniel is in NICU for at least a week... Greg told us not to rush over to Melbourne... let&#39;s wait until Tania is home and a little stronger and by then hopefully the baby will be home too.  With the 2 girls she had natural births and I was there with her... we knew this was not going to be the same... so they told us to go ahead and plan our Louisiana trip.  Tell me if you meant something else that I didn&#39;t catch - I&#39;m a little loopy and slow right now and am heading to bed.<br /><br />Good night All&#33;
