Throughout my stay with Kayla at the NICU I often times found it to be very hard to keep my dreams alive for my little one.  I’m a very negative person and when something goes wrong, I can never seem to think it’ll get back to being right.  My husband, nurses, and the D’Angelo family were what helped keep me positive.  I was very blessed to have all these people care enough to help me out.  Not everyone has this, and even if you do, you may need a little extra boost.  The NICU days are very hard and depressing (on our babies bad days).  Even on the good days, I found it hard to be positive as I would just wait for the next “down” in the rollercoaster ride.

So with that being said, I thought I’d post a bunch of inspirational quotes to help you through.  This may not be help to you, but I’m hoping it’ll help someone, anyone-

And if you have any inpirational quotes that you find to help you day to day, hour by hour please, send them to me as I will post them on here!

**My favorite-

Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
