My Little Birthday Girl

My baby turned one. Just like that. Where did all the time go? (pause to sigh...) Last year at this time, Kris was telling all our visitors and anyone who would listen, about the emergency c-section. As fascinating as it was, I was so happy to have this labour ordeal behind me...and now concentrate on healing,and finally holding my baby. She came into this world after hours of pain, with much concern and 5 doctors in the delivery room. On Good Friday too...no less!( in my druggy stooper, Kris mentionned that i was commenting about understanding what Jesus went thru on that day) In another time and place, the outcome may have been so different in many ways. I am so thankfully for all the medical staff that helped us thru this craziness and how God walked with us to even get to this point to hold her. I had medical issues that made my body fight against my baby. only one other mother in the medical system was going thru this at the same time. Unsure if she would make it until birth was such stress. Blood tests seemed endless and talk the inutero transfusions were always one step away from becoming a reality. Thankfully, God answered many of our prayers...though she was the most miserable baby I met, I could still hold her, touch her in my arms...carry her like God has carried me.
