Before I was a mom I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry wether my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations. Before I was a mom- I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and thoughts. I slept all night. Before I was a mom I had never held down a screaming baby so doctors could do tests, or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up later hours watching a baby sleep. Before I was a mom I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put him down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could effect my life so much. I never knew I could love something so much. I did always know I would love being a mom, but I didn't realize my love would consume me completely. Before I was a mom I didn't know the feeling of having your heart outside of your body. I didnt know it could feel so special to feed a hungry baby. I didnt know the bond between a mother and her child. I didnt know something so small could make me feel so important and happy. Before I was a mom, I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every ten minutes just to make sure all was okay. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being such a precious little boys mom.

Our Special Life
Oliver was born after having suffered a stroke while in his mother's womb. The resulting brain injury is called Dysautonomia (Autonomic Dysfunction). His doctors believe the stroke was the result of the miscarriage of his twin. Oliver is completely blind and his underdeveloped brain stem makes basic physical functions a challenge. In spite of all this, he is a happy, go-lucky, 12-year-old boy, and his mom wants people to meet the real Oliver, not just his medical hardships.
