A Blessing in Disguise


And this right here is why Caleb is my miracle baby, why he was so determined to come so early...


Caleb had a knot in his cord. Andrew heard the dr whisper to the nurse about the knot and later we found out just how serious it was. While visiting Laura several weeks later when she had Joey, her nurse talked about cords around the neck and knots, saying cords around the neck are more common that one would think... but knots are nothing to be messed around with. As the baby gets bigger, the knot gets tighter... leading to a stillborn baby if the blood flow is cut off from the knot getting too tight... God knew what he was doing bringing this lil boy early! Puts it all into perspective and makes the NICU experience seem so minor in comparison.
