My sister Molly posted this song on her blog a few days ago. It makes me appreciate even more my role as a mom. As many of you know getting pregnant with Elliana was no easy task. We lost two babies in three months and then waited four months before we were blessed with another pregnancy. It was not an easy 10 months. I was heavily medicated the first three months and then on bed rest at 35 weeks.But as you all know Elliana was worth it all. I would do far more than that to have my beauty. We thought all was well the evening she was born, we were finally going to meet our little girl. But things did not go as well as we had planned.
The night of her birth we started to notice complications. Her glucose levels were low, she was put on oxygen and her breathing was much too fast. These problems led to a week stay in the hospital for our little girl. There were many times when it crossed my mind that I might be leaving the hospital without my little girl. I remember holding her at one of those low times. I was in the nursery waiting for her test results. The nurse came in and told me the results and I just turned away from her and cried. I remember hearing the nurse whisper “I’m sorry”. It was awful, but it had such a great ending :) Thank you Lord for my little girl!!!
So enjoy the song and remember how blessed you are to be a mom (naturally or through adoption).

Hi Amy, So glad to see you on blogger. I didn't know about the difficulties you had with having your last little girl. I had 2 failed pregnancies before we had Caleb. And I felt so frustrated and alone. People just don't talk about problems they have becoming pregnant. Some even just consider miscarriage a part of the process. Well as you know, its hard, really hard. Thanks for posting that video. It really spoke to me! I'll be checking into your blog every now and again! God bless you!
