Looking Back
You know that list that you have of things that you want to ask God? Mine is pretty long actually. But one of the questions that I have is "why was Bubs my first born?"

When I imagined becoming a mom, I pictured sleepy baby snuggles, first words, and sweet milestones. I didn’t picture the first month of my child’s life being spent at a children’s hospital after open-heart surgery.
