4 Mondays ago on March 9, 2020 my daughter drew her first breath & I almost took my last.

Placenta Accreta (when the placenta embeds itself into the uterus wall). I lost 4.8L of blood. What was supposed to be a regular degular C-section, quickly turned into a Caesarian Hysterectomy. In order to save my life, my uterus/womb had to be removed.

Through it all though, I felt Safe.. (Raphael). I felt Protected.. (Michael). I felt an inexplicable calm.. (Uriel). GOD. I had THE Dream Team in that OR & I trusted them with every moving moment.

I remember hearing Dennis (best anesthesiologist ever) repeatedly saying.. ‘She’s a champ.. she’s got this’. I remember I was still laughing and having conversation til they brought Careem in the room and I burst into tears the minute I saw him – clearly my kryptonite 😩. I can’t remember everyone’s names but MASSIVE Love to Dr. Fig!! 🙌🏽 Jaime, Dennis, Brittney, Cyrus, Roxann, All the Residents, Any other Doctor I missed, All the Nurses, The Nursery Squad, My OB Daryl.. a resounding Thank You So Fxcking Much ♥️ & God Bless Y’all Forever.

They say Last Monday was International Doctor’s Day, but We celebrate y’all EVERY Day. Gratitude on 100 Million!

I never share my personal experiences in a public space, but I felt moved to this time. This was God & his Universe in motion & I am so thankFULL to be here today.. to continue to share this space with You, to have my incredible husband, my two children, my unbreakable Family & the greatest friends.

Would you believe that just hours before my mentors (@tahnida @christinehaberministries) prayed Psalm 23 over me? Whewww. God.

Heroes, help me officially welcome.. our daughter.. #MyGirl: Dylann Drew Mullings • 3/9/20 • 8lbs 5oz • 19 inches @dylanndrewm

Thankful #faithFULL #ForeverGrateful #Blessed #WhatATimeToBeAlive 🙏🏽♦️
