There are days where I need you more than you need me.. There are days when I am so tired, so discouraged and frustrated with everything that I just feel like lying on your lap and closing my eyes while you are running your little fingers through my hair. There are days when your eyes are so wise and you know me so well that you just keep looking at your dolls while I'm frantically making food, cleaning and tidying up.... There are days when a hug from you squeezes my heart so hard that it gives me a new energy even when I was about to give up. You know so well on my good and bad days.. You are undoubtedly the one who knows me best, the one who listener nine months the sound of my heart, the one I loved without knowing, the one who I wanted more than anything, the one who made me be reborn as a mother and as a woman. You are everything to me and I live every day to make you happy! Thank you for choosing me. Love, Your mother

I’ve worked with little tiny peanuts to huge 12 pound babies but the impression that these tiny 1-2lb babies leave on your heart never goes away

A loss is a loss . A loss is a loss at any stage. An egg retrieval resulting in zero blastocysts is a loss. An embryo lost to PGS/PGD testing is a loss. A embryo who failed to implant after a transfer is a loss. A missed miscarriage is a loss. A first trimester miscarriage is a loss. A termination is a loss. A second and third trimester TFMR or miscarriage is a loss. A stillborn is a loss. These are all losses. They all hurt. They all cause grief. They all change who we ar...e. See, I had plans for these babie our babies, I had hopes and dreams for them. They were real to me. They were ours. And now they’re not. Infertility is filled with loss. There’s no reason to downplay your loss because you think someone else’s was more traumatizing. Every story is unique. You deserve to grieve without guilt. So, from someone who has lost a baby at almost every stage and trimester, from just an embryo all the way up to 12 weeks, please remember that a loss is a loss. And your loss counts!

It’s #nationalbreastfeedingweek! Tell me your stories of your breastfed babies! My stories are my now 20yr old, 13yr old an 5yr old son. My older daughter I nursed her until she was 2yrs old. She weaned herself to a sippy cup. ... My middle daughter we nursed until she was 3yrs old. She weaned on her own sense she started daycare. My son we nursed until he was 3 an half. He weaned because I became pregnant an milk taste funny he would say. We lost that precious baby. But just know everyone is different- we bottle feed, breastfeed, breastmilk in bottle an I see it as long as our babies are fed!

Nicu awareness month anyone have precious little ones that were in the nicu?
