As I think back to everything that happened from June 26th to August 9th, I begin to remember little moments which took place that I will be forever grateful. Each day that passes always seem to bring new moments that we had with Hayes which brings joy to my heart. Each night, I thank Jesus for the moments he allowed us to have.
I am thankful that I was able to hear my son's heartbeat on monitors whenever I wanted. The sound of his heart made my soul smile. I am thankful for the evening that I was hooked up to a monitor the entire night to keep an eye on my vitals. My nurse left the sound up just loud enough so I could hear, and I was able to fall asleep to the sound of Hayes' heart beating. I am thankful that I was able to hear his hiccups while feeling them at the same time. I am thankful that the first time Cody was able to feel Hayes kick and move was when he was talking about bunt defense for baseball. I am thankful for the moments each day when Hayes was able to make me laugh because he hated when the monitors were put on me. He would always kick and punch when they were put around my belly for thirty minutes to an hour. When they were taken off, he would settle down. I am thankful for the split second that I was able to hear Hayes whimper. I am thankful for the hours that we were able to hold and kiss Hayes while telling him that he was going to be okay because Jesus was going to take care of him for us. I am thankful for the brief moment that a smile came across Hayes' face. I tell myself that he was smiling because angels were whispering in his ear.
These are moments that not every mom will be able to experience. Cody and I are so blessed to have had these moments with our sweet baby Hayes.
