my sweet boy

My son! After we had Royal we always knew we wanted more kids but it was no rush. I have had 3 miscarriages since her and each time was just as hard as the last:( So we decided that if she's our only one that it's okay because she's amazing! I have always wanted a boy so when I got pregnant with my son I didn't even know. I always used to say how could people not know that they are pregnant but I was one of them and now I understand. I wasn't showing, I had no symptoms, and I didn't feel or look any different until I was almost 5 months because I felt something moving inside my stomach. Shocked the heck out of me! I remember sitting there like WTH is that?! At first I was scared but then I was super happy. Went to the clinic and sure enough I was about 20 weeks along and healthy. Right after that I felt like my stomach blew up over night lol...everyone told me that it looks like I'm carrying a girl but I knew in my heart that this was my boy, I can feel it. I didn't find out what I was having 'til a week before I gave birth, it was gonna just be a surprise but I had to prove to everyone that this was my boy I've been waiting for and hearing the words "IT'S A BOY" from my doc made me the happiest person in the world at that moment. My baby was due Jan 21st and was born Dec 20th. Went to my scheduled appt and doc said I had preeclampsia (when pregnant woman develops high blood pressure and protein in the urine after the 20th week and the only treatment is to deliver the baby or else complications could lead to rupture of the liver, stroke, and even death) so I was scheduled for delivery that day and had a c-section and my beautiful boy was born! He looked so good but because he wasn't ready to be born he was having trouble breathing on his own and went straight to the NICU and was put on a ventilator and all these other machines:( He spent pretty much his whole 1st month of life in the hospital but after my dad gave him a blessing he just kept improving and was out of there in no time. I am so grateful for the Priesthood. Now my baby boy is healthy and doing great and I'm loving every minute of watching him grow. He is definitely a mama's boy <3 So if we don't have any more kids we're okay with it now because we have one of each and we couldn't be happier, if the Lord wanted to bless us with more then even better.
