Only mothers that have gone through trying times like colic, reflux, and/or any kind of medical condition knows the peace B and I feel now that hes made it through all those hard times. I begged God to let us have this child, and when he granted me this blessing he knew he could give me these struggles. There were times I was at my weakest, and didnt think I was made to handle all that I was given. I use to curse the fact that we were on the other side of the country from friends and family, and that my husband is constantly absent due to his career. But Im thankful now. Im glad God gave me those experiences. Hes shaped me into an even stronger woman, mother, and wife than I ever thought was possible. B has developed the friendliest most social personality. He offers everyone a smile and doesnt know a stranger. Wherever we are he steals the entire room. Hes an absolute joy. He still has his moments like anyone else, but you cant scare me after all weve been through! Our first flight has been amazing thus far. Mom and Curt were offered gate passes and what a joy it was to have extra hands! We have the entire row to ourselves and as I type about all my blessings, my biggest one is sleeping cradled in my arms. If you told me Id be here just a few months ago, Id call you a liar... And probably some other few choice words😂 For any new mommies going through the hardest times, please let all my battles lead by example that you can do this! This too shall pass. Dont give up on breast feeding (if thats the route youre choosing for your little) I suffered through mastitis 3x. B didnt latch until he was over 2 wks. He refused all but one position, that made nursing outside of my home almost impossible. He hated bottles, making being outside of my home even more impossible. Colic really will go away eventually, as will reflux. Check for ties, change your diet, see a LC. You can do this! Youll look back and laugh about laying in the shower crying. You probably wont get sleep for a few more years though 😂 Thank you to everyone who supported us through these hard times. Thats all I had, and Im thankful for you in our lives. Thank you to everyone who came to see us while we were home and made it easier on us. That means more than I can form into words. The biggest gratitude to Amanda Troy for making my home her home, this whole time and loving my fur babies as they were her own. This wouldnt have been possible without you, and I know my husband, friends, and family are just as thankful! Still have a lot of traveling ahead of us today, on literally an hour of sleep... But Im excited to get home to my other babies, and prepare our home for whenever we get to have our Big back.
