Kara--I know...Happy, happy, happy birthday, Sammy! Kara--I know exactly what you mean about feeling robbed of a smooth, easy delivery and early months of Samuel's life. There's some gut-twisting level of jealousy that does occur when you see more "normal" birth situations and babyhoods. I truly think there's grief over losing that normal experience. Yet what all those "normal" babes and moms don't have are the extra weeks of knowing, loving, and cheering on a tiny preemie baby. Those weeks and months of fighting bond you like a team that trumps all others! Keep loving every step of your journey with Sammy.Bethhttp://bellesqueaks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034456632532927495.post-72028266636748354132011-07-22T13:13:40.089-07:002011-07-22T13:13:40.089-07:00Baby Sammy is so blessed to have you.
