Even after having Levi and being able to bring him home, we still always worried and knew our odds, literally they tell you the number and chance of something bad happening again. Not many people know this but Alexis Elizabeth is a true miracle baby.
She was ready to enter the world at 34 weeks. I had contractions all night long, 12 hours straight- about 4 minutes apart. I timed everything on my contraction app because I was just sure that this could not be happening. I knew that babies born that early do not have developed lungs and stay in the NICU. Even if Alexis was okay, I could NOT handle leaving my baby when I came home. This just could not be happening to me.
Thankfully, with a lot of rest, ton of water and a few homeopathic remedies, we got her to stay in a few more weeks. I will bear you the details because as my husband says, 'not everybody wants to know that' lol. ;)
But after Alexis was born, we found out she did not have the biggest/best blood supply and that he food supply was VERY diminished. Our doctor said that he does not see this a lot and when he does it is C- Section babies and they normally aren't healthy. We had already had all kinds of tests and seen the best of the best doctors constantly because of everything in our history. They said it was something they could not have seen nor prevented.
If you know me well, you know that I am SUPER claustrophobic- like, I just can't take it. I have been this way since like 16 or so but the older I get, the more I can't stand the thought of any of it. So being restrained while having my baby is NOT what I wanted in the slightest.
Alexis was born at the hospital, we barely made it, even with getting pulled over! But, thankfully, I made it to a bed and my doctor there to catch her, before I had her. She was born with no medical intervention and was born perfect!
We are so thankful for our two miracle babies. As I know oh too well, lots of people do not get to have babies and we have two! Two babies to raise and love on.
So, with less than 24 hours left, until my last and final baby turns 1, I will tearfully post a few pictures from when she was born. It was fast, crazy, all natural and amazing. I am so thankful to have this precious, happy, bubbly little girl, to call my baby.
Happy Birthday Alexis. You are forever 'my girl' and I love you more than I can ever tell you.
Skin to skin with my girl<3
Daddy doing skin to skin with his Princess!
Alexis and her best friend. From the day they met, this girl loves her brother fiercely.

We love you Alexis. You make the days brighter. Life was good before we had kids, but life is amazing now that we have you and your brother. Thank you for making me the happiest Momma in the world. Love you my princess!
*We are taking life day by day and counting our blessings along the way*
