Wow! One year already!?!?! It's hard to believe that our lives were changed a year ago when the doctors placed our miracle baby in our arms on April 2nd at 8:15am. I have been thinking about what I would write for this special blog. Maybe our journey to today.....
I've told the story a few times about all of my complications in my pregnancy with Londyn. The one day of my pregnancy that was filled with so much joy yet filled with the scare of my life.
It was Friday, December 18th..... I went over to visit Keith and take a little break. We were talking about our trip we would take at the end of the day to Southern Indiana. Out of nowhere it was like there was a bouncy ball that was trying to escape. Londyn had her first BIG kick. The moment was filled with tears of happiness and awe-ness of God's creation. The rest of the day she was going strong. Keith's family was able to see and feel that little foot.
Saturday, December 19th at 1:30am.....Our BIG scare. I woke up in a puddle of blood scared out of my mind. "(thinking) Surely I was miscarrying another baby.I was not meant to be a mom who was I kidding anyways." We had a mad rush around town at 2:00 trying to find a hospital that would help me. The first one would do nothing and showed very little concern for our health. Finally, after arriving at the hospital, getting the bleeding to stop, going from the OB to the ER back to the OB,talking about being life lined to Indianapolis to save me if I lost the baby (All of the emotions are flowing back as I remember that day so clearly). I was a few days away from 24 weeks. We knew that if Londyn was born at this time she had no chance to survive. Around 3:00am they began to monitor the heartbeat. Because Londyn was so small the monitor was having a hard time detecting her HB. I remember every time the alarm would sound the nurses would rush in, in search of her HB again.
After leaving the hospital I was placed on bed rest for the remainder of the pregnancy. Every time I felt her move you better believe I embraced it, everyone embraced it.
When talking about names Keith mentioned Londyn. I thought how perfect it is a strong, powerful name, just what she needed. When discussing middle names all I could think of was Rae, like a ray of sunshine. Yes, Londyn Rae is strong and is my sunshine.
April 2nd 2010....We welcomed our miracle into this world! I remember when they pulled her out she wasn't crying and panic hit me. After a few seconds she screamed and didn't stop:). This was one of the best moments of my life....the moment I became a mommy.
We have had overall a healthy year! Besides the little bit of pneumonia, ear infections, constipation, and trying to gain weight. We have seen each of her milestones and have rejoiced. I never imagined how much this little girl would tug at my heart and rock my world all at the same time.
As we are preparing for her first birthday I am filled with emotions again! God granted me with this wonderful gift. He decided that Londyn Rae belonged to Kimber! Crazy! My God is soooo Big!!!
Next week I will try to get some pictures up of her magical day.
