A Gift, Dedicated to God: July 2014

Corban is THREE!

Three years today. Three years since this amazing little boy entered our lives. Three years of ups and downs and all over the places. But I wouldn't trade him for anything and I wouldn't trade these last three years either. At least most of it. :)

And while I could spend hours waxing eloquent on these last three years (or rather, TRY to), I don't have hours to spend. Instead, I'll share a few snapshots from Corban's birthday party and leave the rest up to you.

Happy birthday, my little baby love! You are unique in so many ways and special to me. You bring joy to our lives and chase away the darkest of clouds with your laugh. Your sweet spirit is truly a gift from God, as YOU are a gift from God. I will celebrate every year I have with you and thank the Lord above for giving you to me.

So, to this birthday and every birthday to come...

Let's CELEBRATE, Corban Levi!!!

Because I didn't move much in my mommy's belly, my bones were weak and 4 of them broke at birth. My hips were dislocated too, but after a long 9 hour surgery, they're in place.

I had tons of fluid on my lungs after I was born, and had to have multiple sets of chest tubes for over 8 weeks because of it. I had trouble learning how to eat and and how to breathe on my own (still working on the eating part).

Because of all these things, I spent the first 5 months of my life in the NICU. It was a roller coaster ride, and there were days when no one knew if I would make it out alive. But just 5 days before Christmas, I finally got to go home!

I just celebrated my 4th birthday, and am so glad to be living life with my mommy, daddy, brother and sister who love me very, very much. They say I am their extra special gift from God, dedicated back to him. And I say, that's PERFECT!
