Mother's Day
On Mother's Day, May 10, for the first time since they were born, I held BOTH of my babies.
To say that I was happy was a total understatement. I snuggled them up tight and did not want to put them down.
While I was holding them Lonnie showed me the video of my c-section. I had not watched it and I did not want to watch it until I was healed because I just hurt so much I didn't want to watch myself be cut open (kinda thought it may make me faint!) Well when I was holding the babies Lonnie just put the phone in front of my face and started the video.
I got so emotional. I was caught up in the difficulty we were having breastfeeding and watching that video made everything clear. My babies were here. After everything we had done to get pregnant. After such a difficult pregnancy and worrying about them constantly. After the immediate concern over Emery's breathing. My babies were here and they were healthy and they were going to be just fine. It was all put into perspective for me. If learning to breastfeed was the hardest thing we had to overcome then we were the luckiest. There were plenty of parents in that hospital that would love to be in my position. There was ugly crying but I needed that.
We are so so very lucky and I am thankful every single day for all of my babies.

There's about to be ugly crying over here too. What an emotional moment to realize how far you've come, all while holding those two precious babies. I'm glad you had them to share Mother's Day with this year. :)
ReplyDeleteUm, tears here. I'll say it a million times more, but you and Lonnie went through so much to have all 3 of your babies. You foughts hard for your beautiful family and WON! You are the strongest. You have come so far! What a precious Mother's Day present!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet Kelly. And you are absolutely right. 2 healthy babies are ALL that matters!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful perspective, Kelly.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I get down about Alex's hearing loss, I remember that he's otherwise healthy. And then I , too, cry all the ugly cries.
So very lucky. I'm in tears right now b/c after 33 hours of labor my BFF just went in for a c-section and we've heard nothing from them. I'm just SO damn worried. Safe babies and mamas - that's what we all want, when it comes right down to it.
