Breathe

One day at a time. Breathe. That's my secret to making it through our NICU journey, it's how Mason is making it through too, it's how any of us do. 

I often get asked how my baby is doing is. There are so many ways that I could answer that question. And if I were to always be truthful, my answer would vary vastly depending on the exact moment that I was asked. The simple answer is that he's really doing GREAT! His brain is perfect, his heart is perfect, his digestive tract is perfect, his eyes are perfect (much to the surprise of the doctors!), he has ten perfect little toes and ten perfect little fingers. It's just his lungs that are not okay.

Welcome Baby Boy

Meghan is one of the owners at EcoBuns Natural Parenting and Baby Boutique. Local shoppers will see her at the store a couple of times a week, but she typically does most of her work from home while caring for her 2 year old son and, on most days, Marissa's two children as well. She is the one who does a lot of the behind the scenes work, like ordering fun, new products for the store, making sure all your favorite products are stocked, bookkeeping, and making sure that everything runs smoothly. She is a health and wellness enthusiast, wife and mother to 2. To read her first blog post about her pregnancy, click here.

Today I had planned to be writing about hitting the 30 week mark in my pregnancy - what a milestone that felt like (30!) and update everyone on how my what-would-have-been 7 week hospital stay was going. Instead, I am sitting in the comforts of my own home and am here to share the news that my sweet little boy was born 1 week ago.

Today is the 25 week mark in my pregnancy. And that is cause for celebration! In fact, every day that my precious little baby stays healthy and inside is cause for celebration. I'm in a bit of a unique situation this time around - my water broke when I was just about 21 weeks along.
