I'm just a girl who swore up and down that I would NEVER have children that is currently right at this very moment holding a bottle under my chin feeding my 7 week old with my 14 month old clinging to my leg begging for attention and my two and a half year old ever so proudly declaring from the other room, "I pooped, Mama!"

Love is a Powerful Thing
So today, September 30th, is Microcephaly Awareness Day.
3 weeks ago I had no idea this day even existed. I’m not even sure I’d ever even heard the term Microcephaly.
Mothers: Having One, Loving One, Being One
Where would I be without my mother?
Well, not existing right here right at this very moment writing this while juggling three little babies of my own that’s for sure.
Imagine This…
It’s 3 am and we finally can fall asleep. In shock. Exhausted. Confused. So many unanswered questions.
