On January 4, 2017, our son Harry arrived early. Our perfect world was turned upside down. Our son had a TE-fistula (Tracheoesophageal atresia & fistula). That means that Harry’s esophagus was attached to his windpipe and not his stomach. Our little nugget needed surgery and all I was thinking was "it’s not supposed to be like this". We needed a superhero to fix our son; Dr. K. Bergman was our superhero! Over the course of the next few months,we were on a roller coaster ride with lots of terrifying and amazing moments. The NICU is an incredibly special place. The doctors and nurses are what make things different than any other place in a hospital. The staff were always juggling a lot of babies, but they always took the time to hear our concerns. Most NICU parents are like a deer in headlights and we were no different. However, we received a lot of comfort in knowing who was taking care of our son. After lots of love and therapy, Harry can now enjoy food without issue. He is our miracle and we love watching him grow and watch his personality develop. He is a character and we are blessed to be his parents. My job as a mom is challenging and rewarding. As a first-time mom it was easy to get overwhelmed with all the baby gadgets that claimed to make life easier with a newborn. After some trial and error I found gadgets that made a difference for me. I began packaging these items up as gifts for family and friends. I incorporated making body butters and sugar scrubs into my custom gifts to allow people to escape from the world with some yummy smelling products. This is my story as a mom and the inspiration behind "Harry's Mama's Faves". It is my hope to create goods that reflect the love I have for my family.
