My pregnancy was difficult. I had the stress of my relationship and the baby was having growing issues. I had people telling me to get an abortion, to give her up for adoption. One of my past bishops sent me information about adoption, He knew it was my decision but wanted to give me information about the program. I do not believe in abortion so that was not an option. With all this stress, I am surprised I did not have a miscarriage. She was meant to be here.
After I had her, I went back to work 2 weeks after. Otherwise I would have no money coming in. She had tons of doctor appointments. I had to take her for weight checks multiple times a week. Eventually she was hospitalized to monitor growth. We then went to the childrens hospital, and she got some genetic testing done. I found out that she has a disability that’s not that common. It’s been a difficult road but almost 4 years have gone by and she is 100% healthy and happy.
As this is all going on, I also was in and out of court trying to protect her from her dad.
I know that God was there protecting us. He is my rock. I turned to him throughout all of this.
I started going back to church, when I didn’t have to work. I was able to get her blessed into the church. That was an amazing day. I am so happy and blessed that she has the gospel in her life and will grow up with our Savior’s love.
I honestly believe that my daughter is here for a reason. She will change lives. She is one of the reasons I started going back to church.
That is a little about our story. I hope I can continue to spread the Gospel and my Testimony about our Savior, Jesus Christ, and the restored gospel that’s on earth today.
