Baby Graham Oak Ya Long Lucie

D.O.B. February 4, 2012 @ 2:34 a.m.

 7 lbs. 10 oz.

20.5"

 

Graham Oak Lucie

His Chinese middle name is Ya Long which means second dragon after dad being the first dragon.

 

The Lucies are doing very well after a very scary entry into the world.

 

Mom had to be admitted to Reston emergency hospital because of a ruptured artery in the placenta/membrane and what doctors believed to be an extremely rare umbilical cord complication called velamentous cord insertion.

After losing a lot of blood, mom had to have an emergency c-section.

We are more amazed that Graham is with us today because on top of the bizarre complication, doctors discovered I had 2 placentas. The meaning behind this is that I may have had a 'vanishing twin.'

But now mommy and baby Graham are doing well!
