the morning we were told about cam i cried....i tried not to, i tried to choke back the tears...and i did alright until the pediatrician got to health concerns...which we were not quite expecting...but then again, we didn't quite know what to expect....and i couldn't fight back that throbbing feeling at the back of my throat any longer...i lost it... i wanted to stop, i could tell the pediatrician was feeling that awkward bit of uncomfortable...i wanted to laugh and smile and embrace that sweet little body they had taken into the nursery the night before...but i lost it to the aching... and i am glad i did...because billy climbed into that hospital bed with me and he held me and we cried together...and i knew right then and there that there was no one else i could have made it through this with...so we cried...and we gathered our strength to announce our little boy to the world....every single bit of him...and we grew together...and i am thankful for our time in that hospital bed...because we wouldn't have made it to where we are now without it...and as we get ready to take a beautiful baby boy to another cardiologist appointment i think back on that morning and i know we can get through it...good or bad....we can do it together.
