As an NICU mom, I constantly have people (doctors, nurses, family members, friends etc.) tell me how incredibly strong I am. And as I sit here at my son's bedside patting his little booty because he is exceptionally fussy today, it dawns on me. I'm not strong, I am determined. Every single day is a struggle not to break down and give up on life. But this time last year when me and my son's daddy began trying to conceive I made a commitment to loving this little boy we wanted so badly to create. I carried him and felt the wonders of him moving inside of me for 9 months of my life. And when I brought him into this world I felt a love I could never have imagined. Hearing the Dr's diagnose him with a heart defect at only 8 days old was the scariest day of my life. Signing the consent forms the evening before his open heart surgery was the most intimidating moment knowing we could possibly be sending our son to an operation that he had very little chances of making it through. Kissing him as they wheeled him into the O.R. for his surgery was by far the hardest thing I have or will ever do. But I did it for him. There was never a doubt in my mind, even knowing the possible risks, that we would give our son a chance to fight. My son is my hero. He has spent the last 9 weeks fighting every day just to survive. And every day he gets stronger. He is the reason I am committed to seeing him through this. He is the reason I wake up every single morning, come to the hospital, and go through the agony of watching my son struggle to get better. HIS strength is what keeps me going. Not mine.

I don't know this pain but I'm so sorry you have to go through it. I understand why it would be determination and not strength because I'm guessing if it was up to you you would be bawling your eyes out but his strength makes you determined to be as strong as he is at this moment. You are doing great and may God lay hands on you guys that he will get you all through this rough and hard time and give you many many more blessings I the future to come ❤️
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?

Hi
I am into my 15 week now
But since last two days am not having good feeling....I just feel something is wrong inside wid d kid...all my symptoms r too less
Morning sickness is gone....Metallic taste of my tounge is also less....and I feel pain in my abdoman twice or thrice which is very minor though
What should i do i am very confused
Already have gone through 5 scans because of changing gynec
Just feel that untill i hear the heartbeat or see my kid i wont b ok....got sleepless nights
this had me in tears. I'm not sure what I'd do in your situation but you are a very strong person for it, and your little boy will be proud to call you mommy. if you don't mind I'll keep your family and him in my prayers.
