I love all of these post I have been reading that recognizes all of the beautiful mothers but they left out one kind of mother. When I became a mother 8 years ago I was introduced to a world of special needs. From the first hour, I found out that my precious baby looked different, she had an extra finger and toe on each of her hands and feet. At 3 days, she was rushed to primary children's hospital by ambulance for an emergency surgery, after that we were sat down and we were told she had a very rare genetic syndrome. 3 and a half years later, we had our sweet boy. He also had complications and the same syndrome. Bardet-biedl syndrome.<br />
<br />
I am a special needs mother.<br />
<br />
I have felt many emotions as I'm sure every other special needs mother feels. I have felt lonely, guilt, terrified, grief, inadequate, a failure, helpless, sad, pain, & hopeless. But Being a special needs mother is also so joyful, and humbling. In this journey, I have meet some of the most wonderful and selfless mothers of special needs children. I have so much admiration for them. There is something so special about these children that brings out the best in us and gives us compassion, patience, and endless love. We all give each other hope.<br />
<br />
So this Mother's Day I give you and myself permission to be proud of all we are.<br />
Say no. feel,laugh, & cry. You don't have to hold it all together for anyone and put on that mask of a smile. Wear your superhero cape for a day and be proud that you got up and got yourself out of bed and faced another day! Hug your children and know how much they love you!<br />
I give us permission to stop feeling guilty that we haven't done enough, because we have done more than we can imagine in the life's of these special children.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">We let her pick who gave the talks and what songs we sang and everything. It took a while to try to get her to understand and give us answers and we went through just about every page in the children's song book. :) She wanted the First Article of Faith, the rainbow song(when i am baptized), & A Child's Prayer which her girl cousins did a beautiful job singing. I looked over at Savannah and she was singing it along with them! It was so cute!<br />

You could feel the spirit so strongly in that room, I know it was the right thing and done at the right time.</td></tr>

We had lots of family and friends who came. We are so grateful to everyone who came to support Savannah on her decision to be baptized. It was so much fun to see everyone that we hadn't seen in a while! I meant to get pictures with everyone outside the church, but with everything I forgot of course. :( <br />

A few weeks before Savannah's baptism we got the okay! We were so excited for her and you could just see how excited Savannah was whenever we talked to her about it! We had been talking things through to her about it for weeks now, and we were hoping she was understanding a little bit more.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hg1mLpqatM0/VRtkZePPmuI/AAAAAAAAKwE/AgaDSO0Y1i0/s1600/15279_69.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hg1mLpqatM0/VRtkZePPmuI/AAAAAAAAKwE/AgaDSO0Y1i0/s1600/15279_69.jpg" height="320" width="236" /></a></div>
We were a bit nervous when after one family home evening, when we were talking about Christ being baptized she said, "not my eyes!" she was so worried that her eyes would go under the water when she got baptized. She and Xander had done swimming lessons with some really awesome youth in our ward the last summer and they had gotten really used to the water where they weren't scared, but now she was. Court and I tried to calm her down and talk her through why every part of the person needs to go under water, and we just had our figures crossed that when the time came she would be okay with it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We have pondered, Is Savannah really ready? Does she really understand it? Does she even know what covenants she will be making?<br />
<br />
The answer to all of those is probably/ most likely not but we don't know to all that she understands. Hopefully one day we will know more. <br />
<br />
In our church, when you are eight you are old enough to make your own decision to be baptized. When you are eight you are accountable and know right and wrong and have a good concept of who God is.<br />
<br />
I want my children to have their own testimonies/ to have faith and to know what they believe in. I want them to know what promises they are making to Heavenly Father when they are being baptized and why we take the sacrament and renew our convents each week and what it all means.<br />

Ever since she saw her last couple cousins being baptized a year ago she has wanted to be baptized too. She just couldn't wait to be eight so she could be baptized. She just had such a desire and in all that I read I just felt in my heart that it couldn't hurt her and even though she doesn't understand it, Jesus was baptized and he was perfect. We prayed and pondered and it just felt so right. <br />

I just know that my sweet little girl who in her world everything everything is beautiful, bright, & hearts and flowers has been entrusted to our family to teach us. She has taught me to treasure the small moments and tender mercies. She is the reason why Courtney and I turned Heavenly Father and were sealed in the temple as a family with her for time and all eternity. She and her brother have helped our testimonies grow and we have become a stronger family. She teaches me every day and she is my light at the end of the tunnel. She has such a sweet beautiful spirit. I am so grateful that she is my daughter!Nicole Lovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03078930846323798559noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-435799301890791935.post-29053231509460273722015-03-26T22:29:00.000-07:002015-03-26T22:29:15.116-07:00Family Pictures, January 2015<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In the LDS church, babies are not baptized. It is our belief that individuals can be baptized starting at age eight, because that is when they know right from wrong. When a baby is born into an LDS family, rather than being baptized the baby is given a blessing. In this blessing, the baby is officially given their name as well as a blessing unique to the individual. It is a very special blessing.<br />
<br />
These are some pictures of Addison in her blessing dress! She wasn't in the best of moods but I just love them! I know it's not the norm but Addison is wearing the same dress that Savannah was blessed in. <br />

We took Savannah and Addison to Camera Shy to get some pictures for Savannah's baptism and Addison's blessing. The photographer did an amazing job! She had Savannah laughing and really captured her! We loved all of the pictures!! Savannah's favorite were the ones of her holding Addison! They are so adorable!!<br />

My beautiful girls!!!<br />
Ive always thought it would be so fun to have two little girls and always put them in matching clothes! I know that's very silly but,I think it is so cute! Maybe it's because I don't have any sisters. Savannah loved wearing the samish dress as her little sister!! She gets so excited when she gets to wear it with Addison on Sundays! It almost didn't work out. Addison is wearing the smallest size and Savannah is wearing the largest size in the dress. Hopefully Savannah will be able to wear it for a while!<br />

For weeks, Savannah had been saying we were going to have a girls only night. She was very specific about it! We were going to have only the girls, watch little mermaid 2(I have no idea where she heard there was a little mermaid 2, we had to order it from amazon!) we had to do a craft, and get a chocolate cupcake with a cherry on top! She talked and talked about it and kept asking every day if it was the day. I felt like we just had to do this because she had her heart set on it so we set a date! The boys went out to do guy stuff and we had dinner, watched the little mermaid 2, and painted! I even got cupcakes! It was so much fun to see how excited about everything Savannah was! We have to do girl nights more often!<br />

For Savannah's birthday, she wanted an Amber birthday party. It took a while but I finally figured out why she wanted an Amber party and not a Sofia the First party! Savannah loves that Amber is a big sister! Savannah is just so excited that she has Addison for a little sister so she feels that she is like Amber and Elsa from Frozen(BIG SISTERS!)! It's awesome! <br />
<br />
Savannah had such a fun time at her party with her cousins coloring, having a tea party, making necklaces, & playing pin the amulet on Sofia! They are the greatest girls ever! We love them! <br />

Since I hadn't written in my blog for about a year, I thought I'd do some flash back post of 2014! These are some pictures from when I was 38 weeks pregnant with Addison. (Very swollen and big!) I've never gotten pictures taken of me right before I had a baby because I HATE how big I look but this time I wanted to be brave and I didn't want to regret not taking them later.<br />

Savannah couldn't wait to meet her little sister, & Xander wanted her to be a boy! :) We were all so excited! I was to that miserable point and was done with being pregnant. When I kept thinking I couldn't get any bigger, I did. lol!Nicole Lovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03078930846323798559noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-435799301890791935.post-87384661431076230072015-01-27T21:50:00.001-08:002015-03-18T10:58:09.110-07:00Happy 8th Birthday Savannah!!<br />

I can't believe my beautiful little girl is eight! Eight
years ago I became a mother, her mother! She teaches me so much, and she
is my hero! Our lives have not been the same since our sweet Savannah.
She is so kind, and she has the biggest heart. Ever since she has become
a big sister again, she has been obsessed with Sofia The First and Anna
& Elsa from Frozen. Not for the reasons you might think but because
Amber and Elsa are big sisters and she LOVES that she is Addison's big
sister! So, this is Savannah's Princess Amber cake!<br />
<br />
For
birthdays, i believe they are special and so all, well mostly all of my
health nut stuff go out the door. Addison and I brought mini princess Sofia cupcakes to Savannah's class at school! Savannah was so excited!<br />
<br />
The birthday person gets to chose
what we have for their birthday dinner. And we can pretty much always
count on Savannah and Xander's birthday dinner to be pizza! :) So we
had, "pizza with fruit and Savannah's kind of nuts,"(also known as
Hawaiian pizza with almonds) with salad. Savannah also loves salad! Grandma Love and my brother, Uncle Grant came over to celebrate her birthday with us! Savannah got everything she wanted! She was over the moon excited!<br />

I hope my story can help someone who has a hard time with it like me.<br />
<br />
When savannah was born I tried to nurse but it was very painful and the day we were going to be taking her home from the hospital, she was rushed to Primary Children's for an emergency surgery. I was only 18, just had a baby and there was something very wrong with her. In the first week of her life, she was born with polydactyl (extra fingers and toes), had dilated bright kidneys, and her uterus was not connected so they drain 3 ounces of fluid from it and she had it reconstructed to where she had a hole at her waist, and we had Specilist and genetics all talking to us. I remember just feeling numb and if I let it go I wouldn't be able to stop crying and on top of leaving my newborn baby in the hospital and going home without her, we were told she had one of two possible genetic diseases, & I was in so much pain. Breastfeeding was just one of the last things on my mind and no one pushed it, which I am very grateful for. So, we fed her formula and she was a happy baby!<br />
<br />
About four years later we had our son, Xander. He had the same condition, Bardet-biedl Syndrome. We were more prepared. I was determined and set on breastfeeding him. I had (mistakenly) bought into the lie that all good mothers breastfeed. I wanted so badly to be a good mother and to do all the right things. While he was in the NICU, he was fed by a tube for a while so I pumped. It was so painful but I knew I wanted the best for my baby because I felt I had given Him this disease so at least, maybe I could give him what would be the healthiest thing for him, no matter how hard and painful it was for me I just had to get through it for him. The NICU nurses and breastfeeding consultants were so encouraging and were more than willing to help me to keep going. I was blistered, bleeding, mastitis, yeast infection from it. I cried through my pumping sessions. One of the lactation consultants told me she had been working there for 30 years and mine was the worst she had ever seen. The pain was just so awful. When I could breastfeed Xander it was even more painful. But I did what I felt I had to and we were able to bring him home!<br />
<br />
With Xander I got really bad postpartum depression. He was so colicky and would not sleep. He had really bad acid reflux. I felt so guilty about everything he was going through, and what Savannah was going through. I was jealous of my friends and their healthy babies and kids. With Xander, it seemed every time he had an echo or an ultrasound they found something new and Savannah was having such a hard time. We had just had her tested for autism and we didn't know what to do to help her. We couldn't get through to her. It was such a hard time for me. But, I started taking medicine for it. My amazing husband and one of my best friends helped me so much.i couldn't have gotten through that time without them. I learned how to look at things differently. I realized how blessed I was and it became easier to be happy and enjoy the small moments. Also, I started this blog. I guess writing things down helped me to get it out and not feel so alone.<br />
<br />
When Xander was 2 months old his acid reflux was so bad we had to use towels at home instead of burp cloths. :) He started taking Prevacid. We thought he was allergic to milk and I had gotten mastitis for the third time. With everything, my doctor told me I should stop trying to breastfeed and pumping. That it wasn't a big deal. My husband had been telling me I could stop at anytime, that he understood. I think he really wanted me to stop because he knew of all the pain I was in. But it wasn't so easy for me, Because nursing is “natural,” Its suppose to be. I started asking myself how come other mothers pick it up so easily. They bond with their baby. Why couldn't i do that?<br />
<br />
I realized I just had to drop my pride and this allusion of what a good mother should be able to do. I stopped pumping and nursing. We put Xander on Nutramigen. It smells worst than soy formula but I think it did help him. :) Xander started to become a happier baby and I felt this great since of weight lifted off of my shoulders. I was able to bond with my sweet baby and I don't regret my choice at all. It was right for my baby, for me, and for my family.<br />
<br />
With Addison, I had many ultrasounds too just to make sure she was healthy and to rule out BBS. She was BBS symptom free! We were so happy! I just felt so much joy and it was so nice that everything was so positive. Savannah and Xander were doing great and I decided I would try to breastfeed her too. I promised my husband that if it got too bad or if I got depressed I would stop.<br />
<br />
While in the hospital, the first time I fed Addison I had a lactation consultant there. I told her how bad my breast get and I wanted to make sure I was doing everything I could to do it right so I could breastfeed my baby.<br />
<br />
Sure enough, after that very first time I was already blistered and bleeding. They said I was doing everything right, and so was Addison. The lactation consultant kept working with me but she said she isn't suppose to say this but she wouldn't blame me if I stopped and to stop if it didn't get better. At home I kept trying. It was so painful. I kept getting lumps and became achy with chills and a fever. I tried pumping and it was actually better and I was able to heal a little bit. I started to only pump. I could tolerate that. Courtney was so helpful and kind. We tried every herbal home remedy we came across to help with the pain and to prevent and get rid of mastitis. I kept telling myself I just had to at least make it to 3 months, at least.<br />
<br />
After two months I got sick and I started losing my milk supply and I couldn't get it back up after. I was starting to get a little depressed. And with my other two kids I was so stressed. I decide I was going to stop. I did it very slowly. I would drop a pump then go for a few days and drop another. After two weeks of not pumping. I got mastitis again. I tried everything to get rid of it but it just kept getting worse. I started an antibiotic. It kept getting worse. I had to go back in, see a Surgen, have test done, start another antibiotic, I'll spare you the details, but it is so awful. :( hopefully this time it will go away. But I feel so much better now that I have stopped pumping. I feel free in a way and I feel like I can enjoy our sweet baby and my other two children even more and to enjoy this happy time in our lives. <br />
<br />
So, Maybe your story is similar. You assumed your baby would latch on perfectly. You assumed you would make enough milk and your body will do what it's naturally meant to. You assumed it wouldn’t hurt and nothing would go wrong. You assumed it would be a wonderful bonding experience between you and your child. But, you were wrong, And nursing is not working for your family anymore.<br />
<br />
I know many mothers who beat themselves up because they couldn’t or wouldn’t breastfeed and I was one of them. I have blamed myself for my children's health. Part of their syndrome is obesity and health problems that often come with that, so I blamed myself.<br />
<br />
Here’s the truth, something that took me a long time to finally accept: Many GREAT mothers formula fed their children. Whether or not you choose to breastfeed does not determine your status as a mother. I think very highly of mothers who nurse because I know how hard it is and I know they must be very strong. If you want to stop nursing and that it is the best decision for your family, then stop. And don’t feel guilty about it, and hold your head up high because, you are still a great mother. You are still meeting your baby's needs, and loving her. If you aren't getting the sleep you need, falling into depression, and or feeling helpless tell yourself, I am good enough and it's okay to stop.<br />
<br />
If you are one of the lucky women whom nursing comes naturally, be thankful for that gift. It is such a beautiful gift.<br />

Savannah will be turning 8 next week. When you turn 8 it is a really big and exciting deal. You get to be baptized and make special promises and covenants with our Heavenly Father. It has been hard and just breaks my heart that with Savannah We have never been sure if she can be baptized because of her disabilities and where she doesn't understand it. But we have been hoping and praying and trying to prepare her for next month when hopefully she will be baptized. Savannah feels bad when she does something wrong even though it is something little. She always wants to chose the right. She can't say her own prayers but we help her and she repeats us. She doesn't know how to lie. she wants to be baptized. She has been to many of her cousins baptisms and two of them in the last year or so. At one of them she told me that she wants to wear a white dress too and I told her that when she turns 8 she can be baptized and wear a beautiful white dress just like her cousin. This whole year she has randomly told us that she will be 8 and get baptized. She is just so excited about it. I'm not sure to what extent she understands what will happen and what she is promising to do but we Have been trying to teach her about baptism, why we take the sacerment and about the Holy Ghost, though she still thinks he is an actual ghost. She refuses believe us. She had her bishops interview last Sunday. We are are hoping and praying she can be baptized. We haven't gotten the 100% go ahead yet, but we are preparing for it. We just don't feel it can hurt her and if Jesus was baptized when he was already perfect then I don't see why Savannah can't be. <br />

I got to go to Xander's Preschool Christmas Concert! The kids were all so cute! Xander wasn't too happy though and refused to sing or smile of course. He did say that he fell down on one of the steps and that's why he was crying at first though, poor thing. After they had a Santa come so the kids could tell him what they wanted for Christmas but Xander was terrified of him and said that he scares him, so we left a little early. <br />
