SOUND ON: Since I won’t get to finishing my preg SOUND ON: Since I won’t get to finishing my pregnancy vlog any time in the near future because full time job & full time mommy🤷🏻‍♀️here’s the recap: First, I want to acknowledge that Brian & I were extremely lucky to have gotten pregnant shortly after we decided to have a baby. Everything was great until we reached the anatomy scan our worlds turned upside-down.  The scan informed us that Lia was showing the following concerns via ultrasound: 1. Suspected Hemivertebrae  2. Bright spot in the heart 3. Placental insufficiency  4. Measuring much smaller than she should be specifically in her abdomen  5. & at the end of pregnancy -very low amniotic fluids The suspected Hemivertebrae was the most scary..it could potentially meant bad scoliosis, abnormal development of the brain, heart & lungs & many more obstacles. I needed an amniocentesis right away (which has a risk for miscarriage) so they can test her DNA for potential disabilities/abnormalities. By the time we got the results I was nearing 5 months pregnant. While waiting on the results the doctor presented us with options....options for termination of pregnancy💔 The DNA results came back normal..we checked her heart & it was cleared but doctors informed us nothing is 100% sure with these tests & ultrasounds until the baby is out.I was put on high risk due to how small she was measuring & because my placenta was not providing her enough blood or oxygen. I had to go into the hospital for non stress tests & growth ultrasound checkups TWICE a WEEK for 3 months😳& developed a skin rash due to the stress. We were told we’d be induced at 34 weeks & that she’d go into the NICU..but we made it to 37 weeks with intense monitoring..she came out PERFECT😭 no NICU, no surgery👏🏼 I hope this sheds light on the monster that society has created about pregnancy. Glorifying only the good, most of my pregnancy was filled w/ nausea the first 3 months along w/ worry & a💩 ton more worry, pain in my ribs, no sleep, & the list goes on 😅 Will I do it again-HELL YES. But this time I’ll be prepared for the real life version of it & not the perfect societal version. (Ps: my epidural did NOT work🥵do you want the birth story?)

Sometimes I get so emotional & just start crying w Sometimes I get so emotional & just start crying when I hold Lia ...I never shared why we chose her name. We had a few name options and Lia was one of them .. when I shared with my mom our options she told me that Lia in Hebrew (ליה) also translates into ‘My God’. We immediately went with that name. We had so many uncertainties while she was in my belly. Up until the very end when we kept losing her heartbeat with almost every push for three hours and almost had to have an emergency C-Section. I’m personally not a super religious person AT ALL. I never pray to ‘God’ I just always speak to the universe/nature and in a way that’s my form of higher power, call it God or call it whatever you’d want to but man - I was praying to the universe every waking and sleeping hour of every day. Our families and close friends all prayed... and I believe all the positive energies, all the loving and caring souls that were praying to their own gods for Lia... worked. She came out so healthy & so beautiful. I’m just so thankful, so in love, so humbled by these last 10 weeks being a new mom, so excited to continue watching her grow & it’s such a blessing. Ps: Her middle name Rose is after one of my grandmothers who passed, her name was Shoshana which is rose in English and also to Brian’s grandmother, her last name is Flor which means flower. 🌹 Our Lia Rose - our little miracle. 🤍 #LifeWithLiaRose
