Happy Birthday Sweet Princess!
I'm not sure many know the story of how we found out we were expecting sweet Addison. I was exhausted, sick and just miserable for about 2 weeks. I was upset that I was gaining weight, threw a fit about clothes not fitting, but never thought I was actually pregnant. I mean, why would I? Jason and I were told that we would never have biological children. We had accepted it, adopted our sweet little man and had started our family. One Sunday when I was just feeling miserable I told Jason to take Isaiah and run a few errands. I was going to stay home and rest. Jason asked if I was pregnant to which I responded, "Are you crazy?" I ended up taking a pregnancy test and it was positive. Absolute SHOCK would be an understatement!
I scheduled a doctor appointment the next morning, went in by myself because Jason couldn't get off work on such short notice, had an ultrasound and was told that the baby did not have a heartbeat and that I was miscarrying. The tears and feeling of disappointment were overwhelming. I honestly felt like I was just going through the motions the next week as I waited for the miscarriage to start. I was trying my best to be the loving mom Isaiah needed (he had only been home three months), but deep down my heart was falling apart. I was mad and I tried to justify everything in my mind. God wouldn't give us anything we couldn't handle, but why was this happening to us. We prayed every night for the sweet little baby that we thought we were losing and for the strength to accept what had happened so that we could move on. I had finally become a mother, something that I had wanted after struggling with infertility for 2 years. So why was this happening now?
The next week as I headed into the appointment with Jason we prepared ourselves for the worst. This time however, things were different. The doctor walked in, Jason and I, hand in hand, just watched at the ultrasound began. And then there she was! A little bean with a heartbeat. I will never forget that day.
7 1/2 months later sweet Addison Grace was born! She was a fighter, a miracle, a gift from God!
Happy Birthday sweet Addison Grace! I don't think you will ever understand how much Daddy and I love you!
Until next week,
Melissa
P.S. Next week our sweet baby turns 3! Just when we thought our family was complete, God had other plans! Another miracle, another story!
