I like that you shared your experience and how you are focusing on accepting the moment and letting what will be, be. And yes, I agree that what matters is how we play it out in life.

My son appeared perfectly fine in his ultrasound but we now know he had a neurological disability that only showed up after he was born. Despite that, he has been a blessing in our lives. It just goes to show that we can never know what’s coming–and that’s a good thing! It ain’t what we’re given, it’s what we do with it that counts. Best wishes to you! ; )

Sigh. Monica, I’ve shared my own experiences with you. I can relate to the scary feelings and the sadness. I think you have written this beautifully. Mother’s just want their children to be healthy and happy but what is healthy and happy? It is how we define things in our head. With my daughter in my womb two years ago I just wanted her to come out breathing and I figured we would go from there. It all worked out fine but without me feeling her, seeing her and actually being able to identify if she was okay…it was scary. The best thing I could do was take care of me and focus on my son-at the time. He needed me and Liv needs you now. Take care of your mind, body and spirit and just keep playing and hugging that daughter of yours.

Thanks for sharing something so personal with the World.

It’s awful when you find out there’s something not perfect with your baby. For us it was craniosynostosis diagnosed when my son was one month old. Corrected through surgery, but heartbreaking anyhow.

I’m glad to hear that things look good overall for your baby.
