Scared I sat thinking what would be
Pain increasing
Not knowing what would come next
Nurses, doctors fast moving around
Checking this, checking that
Every few minutes inflood of pain
Breathing to overcome
Thinking me this can not be
Thirty one weeks is not enough time
It's not meant to happen yet
Waitng for scans to be preformed
Determining your fate
Then pow another contraction hit
Closer now less rest in between
Doctor telling me it's time
Now it has to be
The moment of your birth
Brought forward nine weeks
Frightened I was wheeled into theater
Lost time, I awake drowsed
Told that you were fine I smiled
Hours later I saw you
Your cute little face so tiny
Your small hands and feet
Weighing only four pounds
Instantly I fell in love
My little boy before my eyes
So helpless and innocent
Welcomed into this world in a hurry
Now each day without you home
Feels like forever
Your little self growing each day
Not long it will be untill home
You are with me


"Dont cry because its over, smile because it happened. "

Wow Julie...what a birth! My cousin Scotty was born when my aunt was only about 26 weeks into the pregnancy and he weighed 1 lb 13 oz. when he was born. He is now a year and a half old and only 5 inches shorter than his 2 1/2 year old sister. You baby boy will be just fine. I'll pray for him and CONGRATS!!!!

Thank you for sharing your joy with us.

I met my youngest children in dreams before they were born, the oldest was born before I was centered enough to understand.  Now they are old enough for me to know that it really was each of them, in physical appearance, in personality and in spirit.  

Each child is a universe unfolding.  

Thanks again.

Congrats!

I know how scary that is...mine was 3 pounds 13 ounces...she wore Cabbage Patch doll clothes...I remember like it was yesterday.

Thanks for sharing the picture too. He's a cute little man.

congratulations to the family

He is so tiny! But he looks fine, so mom shouldn't be worrying, but resting and smiling while she can.

Congratulations, Julie.  You made me think of my son's birth over 20 years ago.  I delivered him myself...long story, but the doctor sent me home, and a few hours later this is where I delivered.  I was 20 years old and scared to death.  Now he is studying for the ministry!  

I will be praying for you both.  No better feeling in the world...holding your child in your arms...

Thanks for sharing,
Patricia

Great Job! Ithink this is an excelent way for parents to express their love for their children. I encourage you to keep a copy of this poem for your son and when he gets old enough, give it to him. My Dad wrote one for me when I was born and he gave it to me a while back, it means more than you can ever imagine.
