It’s hard being a mother sometimes!
My daughter was diagnosed with Type one diabetes in April she was also diagnosed with epilepsy a few months before that. She had her first seizure at 6 months old. She will be 5 in October. Had someone told me at the age of 20 that in a year I would be pregnant and this child would completely change my life I wouldn’t have expected this. It has been a struggle but the support for this girl is enormous. At the age of 26 and current day I wouldn’t ask for it any other way. I’ve learned so much about myself and how much I can handle at a time without completely losing it. My baby is my world and I am so very blessed to have such a special beautiful baby girl! Mommy loves you till the cows come home (that’s a book)✨✨#mom #momlife #momsoflemon8 #follow
