My little one, whom medical professionals didn't think would survive
her first 12 hours, turned 2 years old today!
Healthy, happy (most of the time), active, a ball of fire, into
everything, full of life.
Me? I'm an emotional mess: Happiest Mom on earth, and overwhelmed with
emotion when I even think of the day she was born and the trauma that
followed. It's a weird feeling....I never want to relive those days,
even though they brought me the most amazing creature in my world.
Do other NICU parents go through the same thing? I'm hoping one day we
can look back on her birthday and just be happy, instead of the
happiness combining with this feeling of terror in the pit of our
stomachs.
