Today is one hell of a happy day, Today Emery turned 6 months old, Something we were unsure would even come her first few days in the NICU. I look at her on a daily basis and i thank god, but today i reflect, not just on her story but also on me and my husbands story. I remember her first ultrasound, her heartbeat, the first time i felt her kick, or have hiccups inside me, i remember feeling her kick me when she didnt like the way i was laying or feeling her move more when i ate certain foods.. I remember sitting on the couch while j told stories to her, about how we met, and how much we loved her. All i wanted was for her to be healthy and happy, i never thought i would have her 10 weeks early. I remember getting jealous when i heard of my friends who had healthy full term babies. I remember my husbands reaction when he found out we were having the baby that day, all he could say was "She will be fine hunny she is a perfect mix of you and me, she is stubborn like her mommy, she is a fighter like her daddy, and you better believe, that a little girl with those qualities isnt gonna give up" When she was born she never needed oxygen, it ASTONISHED the doctors, they even did 3 different tests to see if maybe they were wrong about her gestation but she was only 29 weeks 5 days. Now she is 6 months old, and has only had one brief hospital stay since her 7 week nicu stay. I look at her and i see more wisdom in her then i do in some adults, she can read my face when im upset she smiles and coos, when im tired she will take a nap so that i can, she knows me so well, when im depressed and i pick her up she will hug me tight and rest her head on my shoulder, something she rarely does since she found out how to lift her head up and look all around . Today i thank god, my family, my friends, everyone in this community, For being there for us, for helping us in our hard times and being there for the great ones as well. We our trully blessed to have all of you in our lives.
Happy 6 months LiL miss emery, you have touched so many peoples hearts, you are our little miracle. We love you!
