9-20-13 Bitter Sweet

9-20-13


Bitter Sweet

I’m feeling so many emotions today. Three years ago we went to have an ultrasound on our baby (baby Cord). We could not see our baby very well and right away we knew something was wrong. The doctor said that there was very little amniotic fluid and also said, "this is very scary". We had an apt to see the specialist on September 23. For three torturous days we looked up on everything and anything we could possible find to help fix this problem. FYI never read stuff on the Internet (bad idea)! I think I drank my weight in water. I went to Costco and bought and drank two packages of Costco’s water pellets (72) to see if that would help.... it didn't.
We sadly found out that our baby had potters syndrome and that he would not survive outside the womb. To say that we were heart broken and crushed would be an understatement. I cried and cried and then cried some more. Thankfully we were able to go to the temple and find some much needed peace. We received an answer that our little baby's mission in life would not  be an earthly one but a heavenly one.
Now three years later I just called up to the hospital and Zoey weighs 5, yes, 5 pounds!!!! Ahhhh yay yay yay!!! Huge milestone!!!! Now all she has to do is learn how to breath and take a bottle at the same time. Once she learns how to do this she can come home. Yay!!!!! She will be 7 weeks tomorrow and that means I have basically lived there for the past 7 weeks. I'm so grateful for her! She has definitely been our tender mercy!!
