“My house seemed unusually quiet. If you are a parent, you know this can be a dangerous sign. ‘Mom, leave!’ They covered their paper. Now I was really curious!”
“I was handed a sheet with a human diagram instructing me to ‘shade the painful areas.’ I shaded the whole body.”
“We put the kids in daycare for two days a week so they could play with their friends, learn from their teachers, and participate in the holiday school activities. Two weeks after they started daycare, our whole family is sick.”
“They’ll always need you, Mama. Always. Just in different ways.”
“After nine years of infertility and repeated miscarriages, never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I would be a mom to 10 children. God certainly has a sense of humor.”
“I did not want to carry, create, or be responsible for another life. What will your partner do if he decides he wants children?’ Some called it extreme, I personally felt it was me being responsible.”
“We were having a baby 6 weeks early. ‘I need to hear her cry!’ I entered the world of the unknown.”
“I’ll never forget being told to catheterize our 5-day-old baby. I didn’t even know that was possible. When they strapped her little arm, I nearly fainted.”
“With a smile, my dad said, ‘You’re going to be tiny all your life.’ It didn’t usually bother me. I found acceptance and kindness at nearly every turn. And then I went viral.”
“‘Why won’t he just go to SLEEP?’ He only saw him once a week. I wanted my family more than anything. We ended up making the best decision for us.”
