Teen mom

Heather • Hey there 💜

I remember when I was so sick that not even water stayed in my system . I fell on the ground and we knew something had to be done . I remember sitting in the office waiting for results on a urine test. July 2nd ,2017 changed my life when a pregnancy test came back positive. July 26th,2017 changed my life and frightened me when I was sitting in a hospital room with IVs being beyond dehydrated and couldn’t eat. And August 21st,2017 gave me purpose. I sat in the hospital once more and saw a baby on the screen. I saw my child for the first time at 16 weeks. My life’s perspective changed instantly. I was no longer selfish but selfless. It wasn’t me anymore it was my child . And September 19th,2017 was the day I looked up at the screen and saw my baby girl. My daughter . My wonderful and amazing daughter. I went through hell. I was sick I was in pain and I was told my an ultrasound tech to terminate her there was something wrong with her. I knew deep in my heart there was nothing wrong . She was very small but I knew shed be okay . December 4th,2017 she was above where she should be. She pushed through and so did I. February 4th,2018 at exactly 40 weeks @8:31am I saw who I’d been waiting for . My daughter . And I was severely traumatized when I heard NICU say they had to take her. Why? What is wrong ? I sat for an 2 hours until they came back without her saying she was being transported to another hospital, without me. I looked at my precious baby girl who had gone into severe distress during delivery which had caused her condition to be so severe I’m looking at her with multiple IVs and a life support tube. Heartbreaking . At 16 and having ur first child makes u think you did something wrong when even you yourself couldn’t have prevented it . For 2 weeks I was without my child and only saw her for hours at a time . And leaving the hospital killed me everything. February 16th,2018 @12:05 noon, I was told to come get my child. My child who was so sick and recovered within 2 weeks because she’s a fighter . And I swear , that day was one of the best days of my life . I finally got to be rolled out in a wheel chair, get into the car and strap my baby in the backseat and go home and never would she have to leave my side again . And here we are 2 months later , a very healthy baby now weighing 10.5 pounds at 20.5 inches long. A mommy could never be happier . Everyday spent with her is a wonderful opportunity, and I don’t take any second for granted. I was so very close to losing her in a second , the everyday second of the day to me counts .
