For her birthday, my aunt paid for Des to get her ears pierced - so we finally went yesterday. Jailyn got hers done too. They were both very brave and the girl working with them was named Rachel. :o) It was fun to go together, and yet when Des got up in the chair to get hers done, I felt like I could puke... I had 11 holes in my ears when I was younger (half of which I did myself...yuk!), and also had my ears gaged (those big hole things) at one point and my tongue pierced... and still, when my daughter sat down to get holes in her ears, I was so nervous! I'm like that when she gets shots too...still. It's hard being a Mama sometimes.
She got little blue daisies in memory of her baby sister... and has been nothing but smiles since.
On August 4, 2010 our hearts broke as we heard the Dr. say "she has anencephaly...these babies don't live" at our 19 wk ultrasound. The Dr. is wrong. Our precious daughter's time on earth may be short, but she will live for eternity with our Lord in heaven. During the few months we have her here with us, we intend to make the most of every second of it. Our hope is that she will leave behind more than a few short memories, but that she will leave a legacy of what it means to hope in Jesus.
They are beautiful....what a beautiful reminder always for you both too! :)
