My "one year ago today" post

RRHsMom

It seems like everyone's one year anniversaries are around the same time here.  A year ago today my bp that they had been watching bc of my extreme swelling spiked and they decided to induce me.  

As I sit here this morning I think how I knew NOTHING yet.  I knew nothing about anything.  I knew nothing about what was going to happen, how strong I would have to be, how strong my husband is and how much I love him, how amazing and wonderful it feels to be a mother, what a fighter my son is, how God places angels all around us and especially in the NICU to take care of our miracles, and how much patience and trust I would need to place in the Lord to get through his time in the NICU.  I thought I knew how everything would be, but I knew NOTHING.  

We thought we would have a healthy 37 week, 8 lb baby.  Well the 8 lb part was right but the 37 weeks turned out to not be true as well as the healthy part.  I think today will be ok.  I dreaded it but I am ok right now.  I have been focusing on his party, the baskets we are making to donate to the NICU moms for mother's day (his bday) and the fact that I started metformin to TTC again.  I look at my baby now and think how amazing he is and what a miracle it is that he is here.  I am blessed to never take that for granted!
