Well, other than my own family the people I know now werent yet around when my oldest was born, She was a month early (I know compared to a lot thats not that early) but even so she wasnt breathing, was very blue and purple and had the coned shaped head this being my 1st I wasnt sure how a newborn was "suppose" to look and I didnt have time to think about it because at the same time I was in my own battle I was going in and out of conciousness and hemoraging the only thing I truley remember is having a ton of people in the room (nurses, 2 OBGYNs and the NICU team) and having them rotate the bed so that i was more or less on my head, we finally got to see my baby girl 6 hours later, and after a week in the NICU she came home w/ only the tinest bit of jaundice... In the next 6 years I had 3 more babies, and w/ each had their own problems of sorts, the 2nd i was under great stress, the 3rd kept trying to come 6-8 weeks early and that baby a touch of hypertension, when the youngest was 10 months old I thought that Wow nothing major has happened to any of my babies and thought that the worst of anything had happened during my very first delivery, but that was so not true, because when our baby was 11 months old they found a birth defect a birth defect that could kill him, and 11 days before his 1st birthday had abdominal surgery,  now its close to a year later and hes the perfect baby boy youd never known any of this had ever happened, but now 8 months after his surgery our oldest that 1st baby whould almost died before she got started is facing surgery a surgery that goes back to her delivery when she was so early shes having eye surgers to fix a birth defect of sorts from not going to term. Tomorrow we travle to Arkansas Childrens Hospital to schedule her operation, the same place we spent so many months at a year ago, but were not worried because we trust God to bring us to where we need to be because he has so many many times before..............he was there when my baby almost didnt take her 1st breath, he was there when he brought my husband into my life when I had a 17 month old and a 12 day old baby, he was there when our 3rd should have gotton cut up by a windo shattering on her and she didnt have a scratch, and he was there when he took us to the person who saved our babies life!! Hes not there just at Christmas hes not there just when you need him, hes here hes there hes everwhere not just when you need or want him but even when you dont and dont care. He knows we all need him all them time and hes always glad to share.
