Welcome.
You are reading this post
written from the oneandonly...
barb.got this for my birthday.
love it.
I once read this blog,
where she named everything.
and I mean everything.
From her computer to
her eyelash curler.
She named them all.
Not only did she name them,
but referred to them as those names.
It was pretty cool.
.

.
I know it has been 8 weeks,
but I thought I would just write a post
about my little nephew,
Teagon.
[pronounced Tea -as in the stuff you drink-
gen]
.
.
.
I was waiting for his mom to post,
and she finally did,
but no pictures.

On June 21, 2010
My brother Connor and I went to the doctor with my sister,
Jentri.
Just for a check-up.
She was due in exactly a month.
But she had been suffering from
preeclampsia.
.
Preeclampsia happens during pregnancy with hypertension
[high blood pressure]
and protein in your urine.
There is nothing you can do to avoid getting it,
and once you've got it,
all you can do to get rid of it is
have the baby.
It is a very common disease.
Very common in first pregnancy,
very very young moms,
and
very very old moms.
It also makes you swell up more than a normal pregnancy.
Most mothers who have it have to deliver very early.
In other words -
they never make it full term.
My sister's doctor was pushing for 37 weeks.
but on June 21, 2010
she was 35 weeks.
She had extremely high blood pressure
and her doctor said,
"Jentri, Let's have a baby."
.
.
You would have thought I was having a baby.
I was hyperventilating,
and sweating like crazy.
I was so nervous for my sister.
I am terrified of child birth,
so I couldn't imagine just being told
Let's have a baby.
Not to mention all the drugs they had to put her on,
it made me even more scared.
But my sister is a trooper and took it like a champ.
.
Well she went into the delivery room
and was induced at about 5:00 p.m.
.
She gave birth to precious little
Teagon Ryan McCleery
on June 22, 2010
at 12:41 a.m.
He weighed 4 lbs. 9 oz.
and was 19 1/4 inches long.
not bad for a premie.
But he was taken to the NICU
but only stayed a short time.
.
He is so great
and is already so big
probably 8 pounds now.
Zackry and Zaylie
(my niece and nephew)
were also born premature and weighed about the same
but since I was so young when they were born I didn't
get to see them until they were about 6 pounds.
So I do not remember holding such a tiny thing.
I felt like I was going to break him every time I picked him up.
He is so great and cute.
He grunts all the time.
And snorts when he cries.
I love to hold him because he love love loves to snuggle.
.
I love him little but I just can't wait until we can play.
stretchin..
.
Love you, Teag.
.
Happy Birthday Jent.
