Congratulations Matt and Mackenzie! I wish you both a lifetime of happiness! You both are amazing and I love you to the moon and back!
Now, on to my lucky little fin :)
We are now coming up on his first surgery and to be honest... I'm freaking out! Pretty sure that's normal though considering he is the light of my life and he has to get surgery. I didn't even have surgery until I was in college and my husband has never had surgery. A lot of people go through their whole lives without being put under and yet my baby, my little 7 month old ball of energy, has to have surgery. Now, I try to count my blessings of my little man on a daily basis but there are days where I question. Why? Why him and why so young?
As a mom, when you are pregnant, there are a million questions that go through your head and a million different thoughts. You start to wonder and think of all the things that could go "wrong."
**Quotes because I think that nothing can go wrong, it's exactly how it is supposed to happen**
You think "maybe my child will have a disability, or a mental issue. Maybe they will come out with a club foot or cleft pallet. Maybe they will grow up and had ADD or something like that." Your mind wonders through so many different questions and ideas because you honestly have no clue. Yes, there is testing but I have heard so many mixed reviews that, why bother? Sometimes you take the test for down syndrome and it comes back positive so they do another test, all the while you are stressing about your first results to then see it come back negative. Anyway, with those thoughts, you also think, there is no way that my baby will have anything like that. He or she will come out perfect! In my opinion, all babies are perfect :)
So as I was having all these thoughts I was looking around me and also thought that there is no way. What are the odds that my child would have something like this? Sure enough, he does and we have a long journey ahead of us. But! We are prepared as we will ever get and now prepping for surgery in June. My little guppy is strong and I know will have no problems! He is a champ and this is the first of many! Mommy loves you little man!
Just a few pictures to update you all :)

My eldest got ear tubes at age 2. A simple day surgery but I was terrified. He came through like a champ though. Good luck with your little guy. He'll do fine. I know it.
ReplyDeleteAww so good to hear! And thank you!
DeleteMy wee guy also had grommets (ear tubes) put in when he was just turned 3. It was very scary for us, but tbh he had a great day! He was in his element - they even had him ride in an electronic car to surgery. We were really lucky and everything went without a hitch. Good luck! I'm sure your son will be fine. It's tough, but stay positive :) x
ReplyDeleteHa I love that car ride! I wonder if they will do anything like that for my son?! Although he will be younger so maybe not.. Thank you though for your kind words :)
DeleteHi, My name is Ana and you explained perfectly my feelings about you don't expect your baby will have anything like that after so many tests and reviews from the doctors. Even I went to two different doctors during my pregnancy at the same time... Non of them picked the hand difference... :-) anyway you have a beautiful baby,... Me too. Thanks for posting, Ana.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that 2 people missed that! But like my son, no one detected it either which always baffles me! I'm sure she is beautiful :) and thank you!
