Weight check = 12 lbs. !!!!!!!!Happy happy birthday Lilly! Our Little Firecracker is 1 year old today! In the Trisomy 18 world this is huge. Only 10 % of these babies make it to their first birthday. I've been thanking God for Lilly surviving since I first opened my eyes and looked at Lilly this morning.
If you'd like to see pictures of Lilly on this day last year, see my post about my labor and delivery:

Lilly has been celebrating all weekend. (pictures and stories to come.) Today we are going to celebrate her life with her grandparents in a hospital. (Her Pop that had the stroke this past winter.) Praise the Lord Lilly will only be a visitor in the hospital. (And an "undercover" one at that! She goes in and out completely covered up in my wrap.)
Lilly's headband, diaper cover, and socks are all from Etsy. Her beautiful bracelet is red, white, and blue with an "L" charm. It is from http://sixsistersbeadworks.com
"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." - Psalm 139:14
I love the last picture!

Happy Birthday, Lilly! We enjoyed seeing you during our visit, and I'm glad little J. got to meet you. You have grown so much and it was neat seeing you unhook some of your fingers! May the Lord bless you with many more years to come. Love, Aunt K.

Happy Birthday Little Firecracker!! I know the whole family has been having fun celebrating this weekend! I pray that you will continue to thrive!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Lilly!!! Your precious smile and fighting spirit inspire us all!
ReplyDeletePraise God, for He is kind! Lilly's very existence is an overt attack on the forces of darkness, as the "condemned her to life" anonymous post a few weeks ago so clearly illustrated. Keep up the fight, Lilly, Lisa, Frank, and family! God Bless!
ReplyDeleteWhat a day! Those photos gave me cheer and I smiled and laughed to see your beautiful little face gazing up. You are indeed a treasure. Happy Birthday dear one, and Happy Birthday to Mama and Papa and your brother and sister. ((hugs to you all)).x
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Lilly you have the most amazing courage, keep up the good work. I hope there is many more birthdays to come.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Lilly--and may God bless you with many more to come!
ReplyDeleteOh, I had goosebumps reading all of the beautiful birthday messages from good people who truly care about our Lilly. thank you all for your compassion, kindness and most of all, prayers.
ReplyDeleteLilly has blessed us all this last year with her fighting spirit and will to stay here with us.
Her parents are doing God's work on earth by loving her and taking such good care of her without complaining and feeling sorry for themselves. I am so proud of all of you as you inspire everyone who knows you. I loved being with you and seeing you in all of your Patriotic couture. What a wonderful treat!
Love, Shisshy
