Today is my baby girls eighteenth birthday, I cannot believe the time has flown by so quickly it was only yesterday that I held her in my arms for the first time, where have the years gone............... After the birth of my fist daughter they told me I would have, no more children and I was okay with that I had a little girl, a career to build.
And then 10 years later I was feeling a little sick......... with my first pregnancy I was sick for eight and a half months, and put on only 5 kilograms, left the hospital in my normal jeans................ so off i went to the doctor, I thought he has lost his mind when he wanted to do a pregnancy test.............. and it was positive.....................
I cried all the way back to work............. told my boss I needed to go home................... it is strange how when you know you have a little person growing inside you how quickly you accept how quickly you fall in love.............. I was sick again for 8 months at one time they wanted to put my in hospital because I had pulled the muscles in my back, I lived off bread with sugar on............. that was about all I could keep down......... mind you if you think about it I at least got I my starch and sugar intake each day.
I went to the doctor in the morning, to do a lung test on the baby, the doctor phoned to ask where I was, and I told him at work............. they wanted to do the ceaser at 9 that evening.......... They allowed Kira to hold her as soon as she was born and they have had a special bond ever since... I must admit she was the ugliest baby I had ever seen, she looked like a little vulture.......... talk about turning into a swan............
The second night I was in hospital one of the water pipes broke and the whole floor was flooded, they nurses had dished out sleeping pills to all the other Mom's, so 24 hours after having Kayla, I was helping move sleeping moms and babies into other rooms, the next day I got a bouquet of flowers from the hospital to say thank you......... It was in hospital I met my friend Helen, she and I had daughters on the same day, and when we were chatting we discovered we had much more in common, out older daughters were also the same age............. we became good friends.
Kayla had a difficult first six years, and eye operation at three months for blocked tear ducts, tonsils out at 18 months she was always sick, and then the big shock, we discovered she was born without a hip on her right hand side............. something they should have picked up at birth............... 12 hospital stays, and two operations later, lots of sleepless nights, hydro therapy, physio therapy, occupational therapy, and any other therapy that you can think of she could walk. I think at some point I should write a book about those 6 years.
And now here we are 18 years old.................... Happy birthday baby................
