Today was exciting for another reason....1-11-11 is the birthday of such a special little girl.
You see, her mom and dad have had two...TWO....late term miscarriages prior to today. The first, a daughter, was 24 weeks and lived only minutes... and the second, a son, was born at 22 weeks and only took a couple of breaths. Both births were devestating to this young couple who simply wanted to be blessed with a baby to love....and the second nearly stopped them from trying again.
14 weeks ago, the mom again went into pre-term labor, but the doctors stopped it and put mom on strict bed rest in the hospital.
Today was their daughters birthday. All 7 lb 10 oz of her...healthy as they come.
I have never seen two more excited parents.
Kinda makes my focus on my finances seem....well, insignificant.
Happy Birthday little Ms. KH. Your parents have waited a long time for you. Welcome to the world.
Post #2 for today.
