I am beyond grateful for my healthy, happy, sassy little girl. I am grateful that I get to wake up to her babbles and snuggles every morning. I am grateful to have such a sweet, special spirit in my home who challenges me every day. I am grateful I get to be with her for eternity and for the comfort that knowledge gives me.
I am so grateful
Scary world out there, isn't it? We're very blessed.
ReplyDeleteI hate hearing sad stories like that...anyone you know?
ReplyDeleteFriends of friends. http://booferd.blogspot.com/ - if you want to read about it. I'll warn you though that I was bawling reading it and I'm not pregnant. This family is LDS. I can't imagine going through what they've been through and not having the gospel.
ReplyDeleteoh man I might have to wait until after I have him so I don't make myself more nervous than I already am. PS did you go natural? If you did, did you take birthing classes? I want to go natural, but really debating the birthing classes..
ReplyDeleteok so I caved and read it.... unbelievable! I've heard of people having babies with trisomy, but I've never heard it happening to a family twice. Miscarrying nearly put me under. I can't even imagine going through what they have and twice! They have to be incredibly strong to be able to endure that even with the gispel.
ReplyDeleteSeriously....
ReplyDeleteI did go natural with Ava. I spent months preparing to do it through hypnosis but it didn't really work for me. I think there were too many unknowns for me to really have been at ease. Maybe with a 2nd or 3rd kid it would work but I'm not willing to put in that much work again and get the same results. I'm going to do lamaze next time. I would definitely recommend having a plan of action, something you've been practicing, that will be your go-to instead of an epidural. From my experience, at least 4 out of 5 women who say they want to "go natural" end up getting an epidural because they had nothing to fall back on when the pain got really bad. My hypnosis didn't work out but I had spent so much time and energy preparing for a natural birth that I was super committed to it. Those are just my thoughts. You can email if you want.
