Lily Covert's Story

At 27 weeks pregnant, I went in for a routine checkup at my OBGYN’s office. After checking my blood pressure multiple times and getting consistently high readings, my doctor advised me to go to the hospital for further evaluation. Once I arrived, my blood pressure was even worse. The hospital admitted me, and the doctors informed Samuel and me that the situation was severe. They told us that if I could not get my blood pressure down that day, they would need to deliver our little girl at 27 weeks. Thankfully, I was able to stabilize my blood pressure, but I was diagnosed with severe preeclampsia. The doctors explained that I would need to stay in the hospital until I reached 34 weeks, at which point they would deliver our daughter. I spent the next 6 weeks in the hospital under the most amazing care, with the best nurses and doctors we could have asked for. On January 9th, my lab results came back with unexpected changes, and at 12:24 PM, we welcomed Lilian Mildred Covert (Lily Millie) into the world. She weighed 3 lbs 14 oz and measured 16 inches long. Lily spent the next month in the NICU where she was taken care of the most amazing doctors and nurses. We are so grateful for all the amazing people who helped our baby.
