Yesterday I was sitting down staring at this beautiful baby, reflecting on these past few months. Mainly on just how sick he was in those first few days and how many doctors and nurses told us he was lucky to even go home at all. Most of his problems early on were due to the knot in his cord. I then realized PPROM saved my baby's life. The doctors told us the knot must have been tied when there was still fluid. It wasn't pulled tight until a few days before he was born, It got me thinking that if my water hadn't broken and he was free to move about it could have tightened sooner and possibly killed him or at the very least caused severe brain damage.
So I thank God my water broke so early, I thank God for this beautiful boy in my arms and I thank God for using the hard times in the NICU to bring me and my husband closer.
I can not thank you all enough for the encouragement and many prayers you have continuously sent our way. Someday I will get to tell milo all about his birth story and this blog to show him all the love and support that got him through his rough start in life. I will continue to post regular updates on Milo and of course lots of pictures. Here are a few if his first week at home.
