Breast feeding mom problem #1: none of your bras fit the slightest bit anymore. I wouldn't change my opinion on breastfeeding or change my mind about doing this for Liam. Anyway, we are about to get up and ready to go see our boy. With that comes packing up all the frozen and refrigerated milk that I pump on days we canmt make it down there. We've inadvertently become milk delivery drivers! I wonder if we could get some special assistance for that! Just kidding. On a serious note however, many of you have asked how you can help and until now, my ask has been pray for and with us. I still want you all the do that, but if any one gets a newspaper subscription or can nab a few free papers (around here it's The Globe,) I would appreciate it greatly. The lactation nurse said to insulate the milk with newspapers and if some of y'all could help with getting some papers together, it would take a little bit off my plate. I will end this post a little short right now because w...
Many of you know that I had Liam on October 15, 2014. He was born at 23 gestational weeks, being 17 weeks premature. I was admitted to naval hospital camp Lejeune around 12:45 am october 15 and Liam arrived at 0941 on the same day. I was told by multiple doctors and nurses that he would not survive birth. He weighed 1 pound, 1 ounce and was as handsome as could be. He was 10 inches long and his first cry was tiny, but the best sound in the world. Praise God #1 We were not given much hope from the doctors of his being able to be resuscitated. We were not given much hope of them being able to intubate him or give him the ivs he needed because he was "too small." Going in to this, danny and I agreed 100% that we wanted the doctors to do everything they could for him, but whatever God willed, we would still praise His name. The doctors were able to resuscitate, intubate and get ivs into him. Praise God #2 We were told transporting him would be a very unstable event and he might ...
It has been a while since I've posted anything to this blog. It's been months, long grueling months. I feel like we've faced so much since I last blogged. Sammy had to have an oral surgery. Danny's been away so much with his instructor's position. We've had bills come up suddenly that we didn't know where we were going to get the money from. I'm sure you have all faced THAT at some point in your lives. Most recently though, Danny has been in the field EVERY week for five days at a time. He'll leave on Monday and we won't see him again until Friday or Saturday. Well, he came home from one of these week long field ops Friday night telling me about this painful spot right around his belly button. I, the woman and therefore OVERREACTOR, freaked out. I kept asking him all weekend if I needed to take him to the er. He was probably pretty glad to go back to work Monday. All of the things that have happened to my family recently compound on my nur...
