It is very bittersweet. My son, Nikolas, was born at 31 weeks. He weighed less than 4 pounds and was in the NICU for a month. For the first two years we had so many ups and downs with him, including neurosurgery in which he had to have a shunt put in his head because he was diagnosed with hydrocephalus. Going through all those hard times with him early on I would think about the future and tell myself that it would all be okay. One day he would be a healthy little boy and he would ride a bike and go to school, and so on and so on. Having these positive thoughts gave me the strength to deal with all the worry and stress. Now it is reality. He is healthy, he is developing normally, he is strong and loves BATMAN and drives me crazy with how much he talks at times (when he was diagnosed with hydrocephalus he was not speaking yet). It is amazing.
So I won't cry, even though I am a little sad that my baby is not a baby anymore. He is exactly what I kept envisioning when he went through all these setbacks those first two years. Thank God.
Just had to share.
