Our friends just had a baby! It was their first baby and unfortunately, the birth was a complicated one and the baby was at serious risk. Thankfully, baby and mommy are now doing fine, but they had quite a scare. Baby is still in NICU but so far everything looks good and they will be able to go home soon.
Hearing about their birth story brought back so many memories of our own scary experience when Lauren was born. For that few minutes when I didn't know what was going to happen, I remember offering my life to God for hers. I don't think I articulated the exact words like "Take me and not my baby..." but I believe God knew what was in my heart. I actually said out loud that it was in His hands and peace came over me...I was ready to go if it meant that she would live.
I gave Lauren some extra hugs and kisses today. I thank God everyday for my baby girl but today after being reminded that we almost lost her, I'm especially thankful. I feel terrible that our friends had to experience that same panic and fear that we went through but I'm also so happy that everything is going to be OK. I can't wait to meet her!
