about me

I'll first start out by telling you about Emma Grace. She was a twin born at 28 weeks, or 7 months of pregnancy. She had a twin brother, Talon, that died when he was 15 days old. He was down syndrome and contacted an infection called psuedomonas. His already weakened body could not fight it off. The day we buried Talon, we found out Emma had an infection, but it was not what Talon had. She had MRSA (Metacillin Resistent Staph Aureus). It attacked her vascular system, and she developed three aneuyrsms. Only two other babies had ever had this reaction, and it wasn't as severe. At 5 weeks old, and only 3 lbs 5 ozs, Emma Grace underwent an 8 hour surgery repairing all three aneurysms at Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth, TX. We went in to the surgery understanding that she may not make it out alive. But fiesty little Emma Grace did make it out alive. She stayed in the NICU for a total of 13 1/2 weeks. Emma's finally off of her oxygen after being on it until she was 13 months old, and off of her 10 different medications she went home from the hospital with. She is now 30 months old and weighs 22 lbs 4 ozs. She is my life, and I can not imagine her not in it. This is my story on how my business started out in my living room watching Barney, Blues Clues, and The Backyardagains. I knew that in time I was going to have to return to work, and decided that it was time to take advantage of the opportunity that I had dreamed of for so long. I wanted to open a baby boutique. After being home for 16 months, 1 month on bed rest and 15 months on mom duty, I opened my baby boutique. It has been a road that was paved with many forks, bumps, and pot holes, but I have managed to gracefully accept these challenges with a smile on my face. How I do it you ask. I really have no idea, I've just used the great creativity, patients, and peace that GOD has given me to achieve my dream. I owe everything to my family. They have given me chance after chance to be the great person that they know I am. They have supported me through good times, and the worst that we have been through. Without them, I could not have gone on. For this I am gratefull and love them dearly.
