Just got a message from Paul:
"3 pounds 11 ounces, apgar 9/9. julie sez 'beat that'"
What a huge baby she has there.
Congrats Julie and Paul on the birth of your Bat. I know what sex Bat is but I will let Julie tell you.
I am so proud and pleased.

HOLY SHITE!!! I read the previous msg, then read the link, and was just about to write back when I got this msg. Thank GOD. 3 LBS 11 oz is impressive, but 9/9 APGAR is AWESOME. My daughter was born at term without nearly the complications of Batman, and she was only 7/8. Nope, Julie, can't beat that!
God. I'm so relieved. Lump in my throat...My prayers are with Julie and family. It looks like this HELLP thing can cause postpartum issues for moms--so I will send good vibes.

My heart might resuming beating shortly!! Sounds like Bat made an impressive entrance, that's great news about the AGPAR score, wow!
I will be sending good vibes, prayers, whatever I can, that Bat and Julie continue to do well.

I was so completely startled to get this news, but it appears to very good news indeed. It must be very fresh, since it's still the 27th where I live.
Please let us know more when you can.

Congratulations to Julie & Paul!!!!
That's one big batbaby! And a 9/9 apgar? Dang, that's impressive!
Tertia, you must be flipping out! I went to post to this and saw you'd written just a while ago about emergency c-section & HELLP. Didn't see that one coming. I was really wondering where Julie had been because she hadn't updated recently.
Can't wait to hear more.
PS - That's one BF, giving birth before you :)

"HELLP syndrome occurs in approximately 0.2 to 0.6 percent of all pregnancies"
GodDAMN, I know Julie always lands in the tiny wrong side of the odds, but this might take the cake.
Much love to Julie and thank you Tertia for the update!!

OMG! Thank you for letting us know, Tertia. What a shock. I hope Batman continues to be just perfect. :-)

(sheepishly) sorry for the triple post - but hey I'm on vacation after all
Posted by: Anne | 28 November 2004 at 09:37 AM
OMG! I had to read that post twice before it sunk in. I have been visiting Julie's page every day for news on how she was going. Can't wait to hear from Julie what sex batman is.
Congratulations to Julie & Paul!!!!
Thanks for the good news Tertia.

Wow. Just wow.

What shitty luck! Praise be for modern medicine (for once). So glad Bat arrived safely. All digits crossed for the next few days. Keep us posted, please!

Congratulations Julie and Paul! Welcome to the world little bat. I can't wait to hear all about you.
Sending up prayers that all goes well from here.

3 lbs. 11 oz. is big?
Posted by: Claire | 28 November 2004 at 03:12 PM
I go out for one evening - one evening! - and all hell breaks loose around here!!!
This is awesome! Just amazing! 9/9 apgar - that amazing!
Congrats to Paul and Julie!
Posted by: Scully | 28 November 2004 at 03:17 PM
What a shock! Not what I expected to see when I logged on this morning. I am thrilled that Bat arrived safely, but sorry he's such a bit early. 9/9, huh? An over-achiever already!!!
I will keep Bat and Mom and Dad in my thoughts!!!! Thanks for keeping us up to date, T.
And T, I know this must be causing a minor freak out for you. ((((huge hugs)))). There aren't words that can help. Just hollow promises and platitudes. Please just know that I am thinking of you and hoping for your goal of HBIJ.
Posted by: Rachel | 28 November 2004 at 03:29 PM
Thank God they are ok...and a HUGE CONGRATS to Julie and Paul! I am so glad I didn't see the first post (re HELLP) until after the outcome was confirmed as positive...I would have been a basketcase.
And Claire, 3 lbs 11 oz is big for a 31 week baby.
Posted by: Kristin | 28 November 2004 at 03:30 PM
How is Julie?? Hang in there, Tertia. You are both in my prayers.
Posted by: Momsyomomsy | 28 November 2004 at 03:57 PM
Bloody hell this was a shock, I'm SO happy they're both fine, that APGAR is brilliant and 3 pounds is about 1,4 kg I think, that's lovely for a pre-term baby, very reassuring!!! MAZAL TOV Julie and Paul, may all go well!
Posted by: Lioness | 28 November 2004 at 04:31 PM
My God--this was not the news I was expecting to find here, but I am thrilled for Julie and Paul.
Thanksgiving indeed.
Posted by: Brooklyn Girl | 28 November 2004 at 04:45 PM
Oh my goodness. That must have been terrifying. I'm so glad little Bat is doing well. I hope Julie is recovering well, too. HELLP is some scary shit!
Many, many positive thought and prayers out to you all. You too, Tertia.
Congrats, Julie and Paul!
Posted by: Emily | 28 November 2004 at 05:06 PM
Oh my God! Congratulations to Julie and Paul! I hope she's doing well--and Paul too, he must be a wreck! I'm so, so happy for them.
