We're having a baby ...

Thank you for visiting our pregnancy blog (web log). In late August of 2004 we found out that we would be first time parents soon. As we have tried to become pregnant for a very long time this was extremely exciting news for us. We like to share this excitement and our own experiences with pregnancy and started this blog. Join us on our journey through pregnancy and beyond.

Here is our story of having a baby.

Best regards,

Christoph & Simone Puetz

C-Section?

April 9th, 2005

When the contractions became stronger again the baby’s heart rate went down again. Not as bad as earlier but still to critical levels.
