So Excited!!!

I am just so excited. My lost sister (in New Jersey), one of my Best Friends and one of Edward's God Mother's had her miracle baby on Tuesday the 24th of July. Beautiful Baby Girl, Gracie Noelle weighed in at 8lbs and 2 ounces. Welcome to the World Gracie Noelle!!!!! We love you already Sweet Angel! You'll ALWAYS be in our prayers (as are your brothers and sister). Jennifer has PCOS like me and after 13 yrs of marriage and no success a pregnancy even with fertility meds, she and her husband had adopted 3 children and felt that the was the way God wanted their family to be created. Little did they know that God had an extra special miracle in store for them, for listening to Him and His calling in their family and lives.....a pregnancy. It was a difficult pregnancy needless to say but well worth it all in the end for this terrificly wonderful family. Gracie is a miracle in the fact that she was concieved but also in the fact that she was born alive. Mommy had to stay in the hospital for a week, the doctors decided to do a emergancy c-section at 36 weeks into the pregnancy. They tried to do a amnio but they couldn't get a big enough pocket of fluid to do the tests to make sure that baby Gracie's lungs were well developed. So they did a Sonogram. The Sonogramed showed something very life threatening to baby Gracie (her heart rate had become irractic during the last day), her umbical cord was tied in 2 knots, cutting off all blood, air and food supplies from mother to baby. PTL! She is healthy, lungs were fully developed and no low blood sugar levels (mom is diabetic also).
