On Monday, August 31 at 9:50 pm, Nova Rae was born 12 weeks early. She was delivered at 28 weeks and weighed 1 lb 3oz and was only 9 inches long, making her a micro preemie.
2020 has been quite the year, I think we can all agree on that! Jess met Christian after a year of unexpected chaos and essentially having to "start life over." Their love grew quickly and strongly and they were blessed with the news of a baby girl on the way! This was an exciting surprise for all of us and we couldn't wait to meet baby Nova. Jess has wanted to be a mother for as long as she can remember, and feels it was her purpose in life.
Jess' pregnancy was going well at first but as the weeks progressed she began suffering from severe migraines and her doctors were concerned about her blood pressure rising, making her at risk for superimposed preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is a dangerous pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure. It can lead to serious, even fatal, complications for both the mother and baby.
In early August Jess was emitted in to the hospital multiple times for having stroke level blood pressure. Doctors went back and forth on whether or not to deliver but the most important thing was to keep baby cooking in the oven as long as possible. After two weeks of uncertainty and trips to the ER and labor and delivery the decision was made and baby Nova entered the world!
This has been a traumatic experience for Christian and Jess and as exciting as it is to be able to watch Nova grow, they are just getting started with the long haul. Doctors are predicting that Nova will be in the NICU for 90 days and Jess has already been back to the ER for postpartum preeclampsia . The baby is at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, 2 hours away from home. Medical expenses have begun to roll in and Christian hasn't been able to work for almost a month (and counting). Basic expenses, such as gas and hospital parking has been adding up and being able to visit their daughter every day while keeping a roof over their heads is top priority.
The support of friends and family has been overwhelming! We have had a lot of people reach out offering to help in any way they can which is why I decided to create this page. Any little bit will help give this new family peace of mind so they can focus on their baby girl growing strong and healthy. She is a fighter, she is strong, she is living up to her name- Super Nova!
"Though she be but little, she is fierce."
