Madison was born 10 weeks early due to the fact that I had
preclampsia. We found out that I had it really bad on Saturday the 12th it was
a surprise to us and all in about minutes are world was turned upside down. I
was in the hospital all weekend and they gave me two steroid shots in hope to
help Madison's lungs to mature a little more. It was hard for me to take
in. Since they were worried about my
kidneys and me having seizures. I was not doing to hot and things were just not
coming down my blood pressure, swelling and my protein in my urine. So the
doctor said it was time to have are little girl I was very bummed she was not
due yet and I was very worried what would happen to her. The doctor said I would
be fine as soon as they could get my placenta out that was the only way I would
get better. Madison was doing just fine so they were not worried about her and she
has been doing well since she was born. As for me I am getting there it is taking
me little longer then usual.
I am thankful she is here and is so healthy. She is working
so hard to be strong and get over all the hurdles that she needs to so that she
can come home to her.
It has been hard for me to accept that she is there and not
here with me at home. This is not what I thought would be the cards we were dealt
but we were and I am thankful that I am here and she is here and we are both
doing so well. It is weird to think she is already here and that she is not
still inside me. It is funny how life can change so fast. We have been blessed
in so many ways.
I have felt the spirit and the hand of heavenly father in
all this and have felt the power and the
blessings. which has been many blessing in the last two weeks. Especially the
day I found out she was going to be joining us so early it was over powering. I
was hoping I could keep her in for longer but I woke up on Monday and new without
a doubt that she was coming. there was nothing I could do about it but right
after I knew she was coming I felt all the love and prays. The love that heavenly
father had for me. Also that everything it would be okay and that we would get
through this not without some tough days ahead. I have a testimony of family
and how important they are to me. I am thankful for my eternal family that we are and that we will
always be together. It has been a rough road and I know it is not over yet. We
are truly blessed.
