Write a sentence, a paragraph, or more about your family! I will give you prompts for each round and you can decide how much detail to provide. Round 6:
DW has just given birth to the couple's fourth child! The birth had complications for DW, the baby, or both of them. What were the complications and are they permanent or not? Did the complications cause any disruption to the family's routine? Is the 6/7 year old in school yet? Do they like school or not?
The baby's gender and name are your choice.Emaleigh

DDog [6]: BettyAfter a difficult and tiring fourth pregnancy, Eleanor gives birth to a little girl. Bea is a sweet baby, although she is very slow to hit developmental milestones; the Fairchilds have no diagnosis yet, but should know if she has any condition by the time she's about 2. John's been getting along very well at school, and Will just can't wait to join his big brother at primary school next year. Josie's thrilled to have a new playmate, but a little jealous about all the attention Bea receives.

DDog [9m]: TrixieJess has given birth to her fourth baby, and third daughter. The pregnancy with this one went very smoothly until her 32nd week, when she started having abnormal pains in her side. Jess was quickly rushed to the hospital to see what was wrong, and after an agonizing hour of waiting and a heart-wrenching ultrasound, the doctor discovered a kidney stone. The baby, aptly named Matilda Faith (Matilda means "strength in battle"), had to be delivered via emergency C-section or else both she and Jess would die.Baby Matilda weighed in at a mere 2 pounds, three ounces and has a length of 15 inches, about the length of this poster's Android phone (which she's writing from lol). She was also found to have a badly-damaged kidney that would need replacing. Both Felix and Jess, and even the kids, were very distraught by this news, knowing their precious new addition would spend her first month or two hooked up to tubes and IV fluids. The doctor gave them a good prognosis, though--Matilda has a 90% chance of survival and should be able to live a normal life. As a preemie, she would also be behind on development, but Felix and Jess just wanted a healthy baby.

Young Reuben has finally arrived! Throughout her pregnancy Anya was told her baby was going to be small, but not to worry, as he wasn't abnormally so. Four weeks before her due date she felt her waters break and knew something wasn't right; at the hospital she was told she was in labour but just a few hours later a doctor reassessed and found Reuben was in the breach position and Anya would struggle to give birth to him naturally. As her contractions continued, midwives massaged Anya to try and coax Reuben into turning - this was working - until his heartbeat suddenly dropped. Anya was rushed into theatre for an emergency C-section and doctors found the umbilical cord had wrapped around Reuben's neck. He was blue and initially wasn't breathing. But after a few heart-pounding moments, Anya and Stefan heard him cry! Reuben was weak but a fighter, he went into an incubator for six days but Anya was able to hold and breastfeed him all the while. Stefan's taken extended paternity leave to help with the older three children as Anya brings Reuben home. Doctors are pleased with the progress he's made but warn that his difficult birth may have repercussions - only time will tell!
Meanwhile, Evie has settled into Year 2 at her new school, she seems much happier in the small, village school than the one she started at two years ago. Anya and Stefan are delighted she has made friends and is enjoying her time there.H: Stefan James Lovejoy [30]

When Taylor was about 30 weeks pregnant the doctors told her that she suffered from preeclampsia. She had to stay in the hospital for the rest of the pregnancy, and the baby had to be born at 36 weeks as things got worse for Taylor. They stayed in the hospital for another two weeks. They are now both doing fine.

DH[31]: Henry Alfred Smith
DW[29]: Alice Kate (Brown) Smith
DD[7]: Lily Mae Smith
DD[4]: Rose April Smith
DS[3]: Jack Oliver Smith
DD[nb]: Daisy September Smith
DDog[7]: CocoJack is STILL the only boy, which is rather annoying for him. He has two older sisters and now that Alice has given birth to Daisy, he has her too. As Daisy was born three weeks early, there were some complications, involving emergency c-section. Daisy was kept in hospital for a little while, but after two weeks, she was allowed to be taken home. Daisy, as one, will always be underweight; she will probably grow up to have problems with her body. With a skinny baby at home, life is complicated for the Smith family, but they are coping. And now that Lily attends school daily, at least Alice and Henry
don't have to worry about her. She loves it and is good at it as well, which is a bonus! The couple decided to name the baby Daisy September because it is a Smith family tradition to name girls using these rules:
First name: Flower in any language
Middle name: Month or day in any language
For example, both other girls follow the rules and so does Henry's sister, Petunia. And Henry's aunt Primrose follows the rules too. There are no rules with boys, though. (Went a bit off topic, sorry.)

Sasha and Esmeralda are not strained having 4 kids under the age of 20, and even discuss having more!

DD [3]: Josephine "Posey" Clara Walker
DD [0]: Louise "Lula" Alice WalkerDdog [6]: BoThe family had just moved into their new house and Kaia was just 34 weeks and 5 days pregnant when she developed pre-eclampsia and the family's fourth child and second daughter, Louise Alice nicknamed Lula, had to be born via emergency c-section. She was immediately whisked off to NICU. Up to this day, both Bennett and Kaia feel uneasy when they recolect seeing their daughter for the first time behind the glass of incubator, hooked up to machines and with tubes coming from her tiny body. Despite the rought start to life their baby girl turned out to be a fighter, within a week after she was born she was breathing on her own, holding her body temperature and feeding like a champ. A week later after graduating NICU and gaining some weight she was released from hospital and joined her parents and older siblings at home. Liam, Xander and Posey were all excited to have their baby sister at home, Liam even refused to go to school on that day something that was unthinkable for his parents as he normally loves school and hates the weekends. Lula is now five months old and is slowly catching up with her peers, although at 13 lbs 4 oz she is still a peanut her doctor does not expect any further complications from her premature birth. Kaia is also doing fine, but the other day she only half-jokingly said to Bennett that no matter what Lula was their last baby.

Both Bronwen and Vera are okay, though Vera was under watch for a little while. Di could care less about Vera, but Sam and Elian are excited about the new little baby. Sam especially has become attached to Vera.

He had surgery at the age of 3 weeks to repair it and, with regular checkups, should be able to lead a normal life. Eli is in school now, and he loves it--though he misses Isaiah during the day. Isaiah misses him too, but is captivated by his new little brother.
