When i found out iI was having a baby at 8 weeks I was so

Posted On Monday, July 22, 2002  by

When i found out iI was having a baby at 8 weeks I
was so happy i knew it was a girl. Of coures my
Boyfriend said it was a boy,but at 16 weeks they told me it was a girl and i cryed. I was so happy at 19
I couldn't wait to have her in my arms.
Then I started to get real sick and the doctores told me I was fine. Well at 24 weeks they put me in the hospitla and told me that I had sever-pre-eclampsia. Three days later I had a little girl that only weighd 15oz. Emma Raella Johnson fought for her life for 3months and 10 days and at 4lb-8oz her lungs gave out and she died 2 days before my 20th birthday. She gave me hope and showed me that love last for ever. I still rember her smile and her eyes how she smelled, how she felt in my arms and knew it was almost worth dying. I later found out the doctors knew I had this ever since I was 16 weeks and know we'er trying to sue. And one day I like to try agin and help who I can along the way
