... has just gotten its first award, given by Pam over at Pieces of Me. Pam has a beautiful blog and is an amazing photographer so I was honored that she chose me.
In order to accept this award I have to do two things and before I start, let me just warn everyone that I am less than one month from the triplets birthday and the anniversary of all that happened after their birth so from here until, oh mid October, I may be a bit on the deep/emotional side.
With that said I am supposed to answer this...
1. If you had a chance to go back and change one thing in your life, would you and what would it be?
I think that every loss mom gets a serious case of the "what ifs" after they lose a child. My "what if" has always been:
What if I had questioned the doctor more on his decision to deliver the triplets so early?
The day of my delivery my least favorite physician was on. I had made it through a million different labor scares during my long hospital stay but this time the OB on that day decided I needed to deliver. I did not question him, it all happened so fast and at almost 29 weeks we knew our babies would be in the NICU but never thought they would not all survive. I started getting excited instead of grilling him over why this time was different than all of the others.
I wish I would have questioned him more, demanded that we wait until my physicians could get there, done something so that I would have a little bit more piece of mind about my delivery or maybe have even stayed pregnant a few more days, a few more days that would have made my babies stronger and gave them all a better chance at life.
But, of course, I will never know and for my own sanity have had to press pass the "what ifs" and try to make peace with my delivery, knowing that we followed what we thought was best at the time and what happened afterwards was far beyond our control.
The second stipulation of my award is much more fun and much less deep...
2. Pass this award on to 6 other bloggers that you love.
So my awards go to...
Sarah at Loving My Life- I just recently starting following Sarah and, besides being extremely well done, her blog contains a mix of amazing photographs and great stories about her boys.
The Grasshoppa- She is just hilarious, there is not much more to say.
Courtney at The Peeks- Courtney has overcome the devastating loss of three children and openly blogs about her journey through infertility. I'm addicted to checking her blog until she has a baby in her arms.
Liz from The Weaver Triplets- Liz is an amazing mom to triplets, two who have autism. She honestly blogs about the good days and the bad and has become an incredible friend.
Devon at Life As We Know It- I just recently started following Devon and I have blog envy. I love the way her blog is organized and all of her beautiful pictures AND she has a great blog button (My next blog task is to figure out how to make one of those).
Amy from Life Interrupted- Amy also lost a triplet and has been such a support to me. Her blog is open, honest and I'm either laughing or crying every time I read.
