About this title

About the Author

January 21, 2016, started off as a typical Thursday. I went to work, came home, cooked dinner, and enjoyed bible study with my family around the kitchen table. My husband ended our bible study with sharing a dream he had the night before. He stated that, in a dream, he saw our new born daughter. In the dream, she was smiling, lively, and healthy, but tiny. I was concerned, so I asked, “How much did she weigh?” He stated, “4 lbs!” What?!?! That’s a premature baby! I laughed it off not knowing God was warning us before the storm. I went into labor the NEXT day! I was only 23 weeks. I thought to myself, I can’t deliver my baby now! Here I am lying in the back of an ambulance, tears running down my cheeks, and the only thing I could think of is WHY ME?! My head was spinning from the loud sirens, loud sobs, questions, doubts, fears, and brokenness. When I arrived at the hospital, the doctors confirmed that I was in labor and dilated 6 cm. The doctors also told me they had to try to hold on until I was 24 weeks because anything less than 24 weeks is nonviable. My contractions stopped long enough for me to welcome Little Miss Amber Kate Foreman at 24 weeks and 2 days. Her weight was 1lb 10oz. She was so tiny and fragile. I couldn’t even touch or hold her for the first month. She stayed in the hospital for 110 days. Even though that seemed like a long time, I was thankful for the gift God had given me. Each time I walked into the NICU, I tried to find the courage to put on the biggest smile and walk to my daughter’s incubator.  However, tears always ran down my face before I got to her.   The feeling of hopelessness, helplessness, and disbelief surrounded me as I pulled back her blanket to see her precious face.  Amber Kate was always bright eyed and waiting, though. I took this time to pray with her and for her.  In the middle of my prayers, she laughed and smiled.  I found myself laughing with her and crying out for joy! This milestone alone was enough for me to realize I didn’t have ANYTHING to frown about! If my child was in the NICU and could find ways to laugh and smile through her situation, then how could I complain?!?! Amber Kate is still a lively, smiling, laughing, and busy little girl! God has been and continues to be with us in every situation. All you need is faith, the size of a mustard seed, and He will provide!
