My heart rejoices and breaks this morning.
Tabitha, whose daughter had been diagnosed with anencephaly, found my blog a few months back and just gave birth to her precious baby girl early this morning. I was sick all day so I didn't get the news until later this morning that she was going to have her. Sophia Grace was born sleeping on May 31, 2011 at 12:21am. I am so proud of Tabitha for giving her baby her all. I'm sad because I know her pain and I can't take it away. I'm rejoicing that she has another daughter and Rachel has another friend in heaven - and yet my tears haven't stopped flowing for another mama without her baby.
Please pray for this family as they walk the other side of this difficult journey.
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.
Praying for sweet for that sweet mommy! My heart is breaking, and my tears are flowing.
ReplyDeleteI will be praying.
ReplyDeleteI found her blog through you. I'll be praying for her!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Stacy, for sharing this with your readers. I haven't even had the chance to sit down and update mine! I just can't put everything into words right now. I thought for sure that our life couldn't have made any more turns for the worst until Memorial Day. That is the day we were told her heart had stopped beating. Everything changed from that point on. Sometimes, I can't even see through my tears! It's like everything is one big blur.
ReplyDeleteThroughout the last couple months, your blog has been a place of comfort for me. Reading everything you have been able to do for Rachel has really touched my heart. I just wish I would've been able to do more for Sophia then what we have and what we are doing.
Thanks again for sharing <3
