Ive done this a few times for some of my friends and it looks fun!
So Here are the directions:
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you.It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

My 2lbs miracle turns 1!!





So tomorrow my little Cora turns 1 year old! I CANNOT believe it! This year has gone by so fast! I've been thinking about the day she was born all week and it brings me to tears every time. Cora was born 2 months early and weighed 2lbs 9oz, and was 16inches long. She was a definite miracle!! After Nellie was born we tried for about 4 years to have another baby and had 4 miscarriages. We hoped and prayed the whole time I was pregnant with Cora that everything would go ok. Everything went fine until I was 7 months pregnant. My Dr. did some test that didn't come back to good so he admitted me to the hospital for "2 days" for more tests. After tests I was told I would be there for the next 2 months or until I have the baby. I ended up having her 2 days later by emergency C-section. Cora was so tiny! I could not believe it! I finally had my baby that I had prayed for so much! She was PERFECT just tiny!! She didn't cry she meowed like a kitty. At that point she should have been 4 1'2 lbs! When she was born there were no problems, she was never on oxygen, she could breath room air. I was able to nurse her when she was 2 weeks old. She ended up coming home from the hospital at about 1 month old and only weighed 3lbs 10oz when she came home. Our prayers were definitely answered just a little sooner then we thought! At my 6 week check up my Dr. told me that he was inspired to get her out. If he didn't she would have been still born hours later. I am SO thankful to my Dr. that he was so in tune with the spirit because if he wasn't, or he didn't do what he was "told", she would not have been here! Cora is such a good girl and she is SO feisty! She has been since the day she was born. I think that's why she survived! I am so grateful to be a mom to her and Nellie!!! Happy Birthday Cora! I LOVE YOU!!!
