Our Beginning

When I was pregnant I had no issues while pregnant. I was so happy that we were going to have another little boy. I was so excited that we were going to be parents of 2. I always wanted a large family even though my husband wasn't to fond of it he agreed perhaps we will try for 3 or 4. We would see down the line. I did not know that perhaps these dreams would not be happening. Not because they couldn't but because my dreams would change. I changed. The moment I changed was when I had my little boy Austin Carl Eckstein on October 31st 2010 at 11:55pm. He was born 5lbs 6oz and 18 3/4 inches long. I was hoping for a vaginal birth but god had other plans for me. He decided that my body would not do what it was suppose to do and I would go via c section.


I have had a c section before so it was no big. I knew the recovery would be long but worth it. My little man was worth anything I had to go through. When they were doing my c section I knew something was wrong. I started to freak out. They had to give me medicine but it worried me that NICU was there and I didn't want another child in NICU. I wanted to avoid it. I did everything I was suppose to! He was wheeled away to the NICU. My hopes were dashed not only did I have a c section but my son was going to the NICU. I wouldn't be able to have him in my room. I wanted to be sleep deprived because of midnight feedings and the complications normal mothers had while they have their child in their room. Nope not me! 


I thought these would be my only problems but after so long I knew it wouldn't be. But here's some photos of my little man!

  2. I'm so glad you got to lay him on your chest. It's a beautiful picture and I'm sure it was a beautiful moment.
    I am praying for Austin as well as you and your family.
    Love you Amber
