Parent Moments: Planning for the Big Day

When you don't plan your pregnancy it can't go as planned. Of course every mother wants a healthy baby. I did everything on my end to see that would happen. I ate healthy, saw my doctor regularly, and prayed that all would be well with my new baby.

When he was born by C-Section. I didn't hear him cry for several seconds. Then finally he cried a weak cry and they showed him to me and whisked him out of the room. For the next 24 hours he was given 50/50 odds of making it. I even had a priest out to have him baptized. Within an hour of that act his vitals took a sudden shift for the better. They informed me that he would make it. I wound up leaving the hospital two weeks before he did. He is fine now and I am blessed beyond measure that he is mine.
