When I was pregnant I had this vision of how my labor and delivery would be and what it would be like to get to hold him after he was born. Unfortunately no one warned me it might be far different from that. I didn't get to see Joseph when he was born. They let me kiss him on the forehead and then they took him and his dad away to the NICU. I'll never forget watching them run out that door with you, or how blue you were. Due to my csection I couldn't go to the NICU for three days to meet him. My first sight of him he had breathing tubes in his nose, a feeding tube in his mouth, an IV in his hand and one through his belly button. I felt so helpless and the worst part was that I wasn't allowed to touch you. My heart was broken. All I wanted was for you to be okay and in my arms. My fiancé had to go back to work immediately after he was born so I spent my time in the hospital alone. Four days after I had you I wobbled down to the NICU because my section was still healing, and I'll never forget the nurse who told me I was going to hold you that day. I'll never forget her face. I got to hold you for the shortest half an hour of my life and i had never been so thankful, for the fact that you were alive and you were going to make it. And the fact that you finally got to know what it was like to be held in your mommas arms. Finally. No matter how much you cry and scream and no matter how much sleep I loose I will never ever take you for granted or regret you. Because at one point in time I thought you might not make it. So every single I moment I have with you is a moment I will cherish. I love you Joseph Scott Ray Bohannon❤️

I only got to kiss mine too before they took him. It was the longest 4 days waiting to hold him. I understand how heart wrenching it is and the thankfulness that comes from their being ok:) thank God for nicu.

We never expect to see our babies hooked up to an insane amount of wires and machines. The nicu roller coaster is not one anyone should experience, but we end up with some strong babies when we leave. 💜 my 29'weeker was in the nicu for 7 weeks. I don't remember the nurse who let me hold him first. But I know the world disappeared and it was only me and my son. It was the most amazing few minutes of my life. I didn't feel anything like it with my first. Something about lookin at my 2 pound baby, knowing in my heart he would be okay... I was in a euphoric state. It was insane.

I remember when they took my daughter i had her for one night in the hospital before they took her... Its so hard to have to "Visit" your baby after caring them for nine months and expecting to get to hold them like it is in the movies... Let me tell you its never like that... But as long as they get healthy right? Congratulations!

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 and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?

Thursday I found out I lost one of my baby boys. I will never forget little Oliver. He will always have a place in my heart no mater what. I will tell his brother about him but not until he is old enough. But I will cherish James so much and am so thankful he is healthy. My fiancé has been the absolute best through all of this. I know it hurts him as well but he is doing the best he can being strong for me. I know he breaks down and that's ok. I'm not the only only one going through this. It was his son too. I know I didn't do anything to cause this but I still feel like I failed some how. Mommy loves you so much Oliver and will never forget you baby boy. 💙🌹

So over this feeling! Ever since I've had ds, OH and I have fought my mother on not wanting to give ds a dummy just cause we don't like them and find he self soothes. For the past three times my mother has had him, she has gone against our rule and given him a dummy and of course I spoke to her about it (that's all my knowledge on how many times she's done it). On Sunday we celebrated my stepfathers birthday and due to OH working I had to do it alone which isn't the thing that bothered me. The thing that bothered me was no matter what I said regarding ds I wasn't listened to. I told my mother to sit behind ds if she was going to sit him up on the floor as he hasn't got the whole balance thing down pact but she didn't and then ds falls and starts crying cause he hurt himself, I picked him up and my mother just came and took him off me! I told her he can't forward face yet as he is below the shoulder line in order to forward face but they did anyway. I get it's her first grandchild and she's excited but I never got to share the news about ds's first tooth or his first attempt at crawling to the family because she already done it. Yes I know, I probably sound petty asf! I had to repeatedly ask my mother to take me and ds home as he was tired and close to the over tired stage. On the way home ds fell asleep, luckily I was sitting beside him and looked at him cause he had fallen asleep and had his head facing down so I quickly grabbed his head and held it up till we got home.

@itsamemario, you deleted your post before I could hit send but this is my comment: I don’t know if this answers your question but this is my answer. My son is 7 and he knows race and color. Why? Because he himself comes from a family that is multi racial and because he has already experienced racism. I also believe as his mother it’s my job to teach him color and the cold hard truth about society. He knows what’s going on in this world. I’d be hurting him if I allowed him to blindly walk outside without this information. Children of color are being targeted and killed too. It’s not just adults. I let my son know we treat everyone equally and with respect. I let him know that we love everyone for their differences. In every aspect. Color, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual preference we love everyone.

This is my son Walter. Today is his birthday. He would have been five. This picture was taken when he was 16 days old. He was my first child and my only son (I now have 3 girls). He passed away the next day after this picture from congenital heart failure. It was a miracle that he lived passed 12 weeks gestation because of how severe his heart defects were. I miss him so much, I can't believe it's been 5 years. It still hurts so bad. I don't talk about him a lot out loud because I end up bawling, so i thank you for letting me share this with you ladies. You have always been nice and supportive. Happy birthday son, your mom loves you.
