Tonight I was sitting with Sam on the couch. He was driving his cars over my belly and I waited for his usual comments about the baby he insists I must still have in there, based on the size of it....
He started in a familiar way.... "When is the baby in your belly going to come out?"
And I said the same thing I always say "There is no baby in there anymore."
The next part I was not expecting....
He continued "Ohhh, but I want you to have a baby in your belly again." My eyes got wide and I asked "Already!?" and he whined....
"I want Rachel to be in your belly again... I want her to come down from heaven and be here with us... I want Rachel...."
"Me too, Buddy"... I said. "Me too."

UPDATE: Holy Moly... I posted this and the time stamp said 10:27... the time she was born... She is with us.
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.
