Seven years ago today my life was completely changed! I gave birth to my first son, Gregory Cade. He was born weighing 1lb 8.1oz and he was 12.5 inches long. I was beyond heartbroken especially after hearing the doctor tell me he only had a 50% chance of making it and even then he would more than likely have brain damage. I didn't care, I just wanted my baby that I prayed so hard for, the one I was only able to carry for 23 weeks and 5 days, the one who was struggling for his life. Yes that is the one I wanted! That baby, the one I wanted so very badly is now 7 years old! I can't even believe it! I remember the day of his birth just like it was yesterday, but then again it seems so long ago. I wasn't able to see Cade after he was born. It was UBER important that they rush him to the NICU and because of my c-section I wasn't even able to see him that day. I was crushed and heartbroken! Larry, being the amazing husband that he is, brought me a picture of him though. I loved that boy at first sight! He was a beautiful, miracle in my eyes!
That beautiful, miracle - he grew and grew and grew! I watched him grow for days, weeks, and months. He was the grass and I was his water. He had up days and down days - we road that roller coaster together. It was worth every single minute, every single tear, every single laugh, and every single smile! I would do it all again - over and over! He is my miracle!
