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!!
