Better Late than Never

This is just a little journal about my day to day experinces as a new mom. I don't know how new I can consider myself since my baby girl is almost 10 months old. Every day is a new development a new experience and sometimes a new meltdown!

She has lately started holding herself up and she will sit herself down with out holding anything. I think she may be trying to stand on her own. Although this is exciting I am also sadned that my baby that was just recently in my belly, at least that's how it feels, is growing up. I'm afraid I'm going to blink and she is going to be a teenager giving me greif! I guess I shouldn't complain as she is a happy healthy girl. Although we did have some scares with her. Her birth was a bit dramatic. She was born 15 days early and not on her own accord. I had high blood pressure, and my placenta was no longer providing her with nutrients causing her to not grow. They induced me and after a long day and night her heart rate dropped. After this happened they ended up delivering her by emergency cesearian.

We have had some obsticles with her as well. At about 3 months she would scream for no reason wich was diagnosed as reflux. This soon led to her spitting up majority of her food. After months of switching formulas and mulitple medications they finally diagnosed her with a spastic pyloric muscle (I may have spelled that wrong), which is the muscle at the end of your stomach. Basically her food didn't drain from her intestines to her stomach as quickly asit should have. She is nw very healthy and can eat regular meals.

I am very blessed to have such a wonderful, beautiful and healthy baby. I sometimes feel guilty knowing that there are people out there who will never know what it is to be at the stage we are at with their baby. For this I ask God for strength and guidence for theses families and for myself.
