I love my baby more than tired eyes love her more than sleep, more than the late nights when the rest of the world is asleep. I didn't realize how strong I was until I became a mother, being rushed back for an emergency c-section, being put to sleep, and seeing my baby for one hour before they took her away for days. Children are our future, and the most important thing I will ever do within my lifetime.

Pushing through even when we run on empty, through the tears, show up when it would be easier to disappear, even on the hardest days, we show up. As a mom, we love more than accidents more than woops, more than broken coffee cups more than messes, our babies are irreplaceable, more valuable than gold!

I would put it towards part of my daughter's NICU bill. She was born early and needed help to breathe and required a breathing machine for her 4 lbs body for one week, and we weren't covered by our insurance, we racked up $31,000 left to cover, but I would do it all over again to make sure my girl was safe!
