A Miracle Happened… 19 years ago today!

When I first found out I was pregnant, we were very happy, yet extremely anxious at the same time.  I had been told during my teenage years that I would never be able to carry a baby to term, given my severe and complex heart condition.

I arrived at the Toronto General Hospital Special Pregnancy Unit for a consultation at 10 weeks.  The doctors suggested that I terminate the pregnancy, because it was so risky for me. 

I guess even at that stage a mother’s instinct kicks in.  I just knew that everything would be okay.  I had this miracle growing inside me, now it was up to God and a special medical team to see it through.  I told them that termination was not an option.  I would do anything and go through anything to have this child.

Trying to Conceive a Boy?

It is not too often I write so openly about my kids and my family, but I feel compelled to share this today, and when you watch the video, you will understand why.
