Hidden Blessings 2

 After being released from hospital I tried going back to work but my health was so bad i couldnt do it. So the ER doctor filled out an extension for my disability for a month. Then it just continued to go down hill more from there. I went into preterm labor and was transferred to Mckay-Dee hospital. They gave me medication to stop the contractions and started me on magnesium and steriod shots for the baby. The contractions stopped and i was sent home the following days. That friday night my water broke! Mind you Im only 29 weeks pregnant. So terrified I call my husband and he meets me at the hospital. The next night my daughter was born. She was 2 pounds 7 ounces and crying. The overwhelming feeling of relief hearing her cry for the first time. She’s absolutely perfect!! She will have to be in the NICU for a few months but everyday she’s getting stronger and moving mountains! All this was extremely stressful and scary but I’m so grateful and blessed for recovery. Everyday is a blessing, i’ve learned to count each and every one of them. When were lost in our addictions even though they are all around us we don’t seem them. We either refuse to because we’d rather sit and wallow in our hell we created or we are so caught up we dont see them. Now that im sober and i sit here looking in a incubator where my beautiful baby is I thank god for everything. Remember in your recovery to count your blessings and thank god for another day in this beautiful life ❤️
