B-day Countdown #14

#2- First 5 years of life. 

My first 5 years of life we're good and bad. I was put into foster care at 2 years old. I returned home after a while and despite me loving where I was at, I was still going back and forth between homes. I was always between my aunt and foster family and my foster family even tried to adopt me. The court ruled in favor of my aunt though and then I stopped seeing my foster family.

Being with my aunt was really fun. I was the only child in the house at that point and I was a spoiled little niece. My mom just couldn't take proper care of me being that she has illnesses that make her get hospitalized at least once a year. It was very hard being away from my mom and my dad had to have supervised visits due to his illnesses. My first 5 years were probably the best out of my childhood, though.

But that was only the beginning...

B-day Countdown #15

Well, as you can see, there are 15 more days till I turn 20. Over the next 15 days I will compose a list of things that I have accomplished during those 20 years.  1. I was conceived!  My mother and father conceived me sometime between March 8th and March 14th of 1994. This is a basic diagram of what happens during fertilization and implantation.  After fertilization and implantation, I grew and grew.  From then until the point where I was born I looked like this. Everybody looks like this inside the womb before they are born.    I was a difficult child, however. For the last trimester of pregnancy I kept my mother on bed rest. A whole three month period of time! They put a cerclage in place to keep me inside, too. And when labor came, I was stubborn still.  While my mother was in labor I didn't want to come out. I even pooped inside of my mother! Some time later I was born through an emergency cesarean section, poop and all. But that's not where the trouble ended. Despite my own 9 lbs and 11 ounces of weight, I had sleep apnea.  I had sleep apnea so bad that I would stop breathing. I had a special monitor to check on me at all times, too. I couldn't imagine how much stress that put my mom under. Thank you mom and dad for giving me life! I definitely wouldn't be here without you two!
