First Mothers Day

Because of you my dream of becoming a mommy has come true.

Never in my life would I have imagined my first mothers day being spent in the NICU because my baby wasn't home with me yet. This morning I woke up knowing that today he would have been dedicated at church if he had already gotten to come home from the hospital. I told Mark that I didn't think that I could go to church and watch all the other babies be dedicated when mine was still in the hospital. Instead of going to church Mark made me breakfast and then we went and fed Tucker and I got to love on him while he was sleeping. At his 9:00 feeding tonight it marked 24 hours of bottle feeding and no tube feeding, the best mothers day present I could have asked for today.







Instead of getting to love on my baby at home today I got to go and be with other mommies who were celebrating their mothers day in the NICU and who understand the journey that we are enduring all to well. The nurses were very thoughtful and wished us Happy Mothers Day. Even the cleaning lady who I see everyday wished me Happy Mothers Day. I couldn't be more grateful for the support system we have at the NICU.
