The story of our precious little girl's 17 months of life with Trisomy 18 (July 4, 2010 - December 15, 2011) and of us, re-learning to live "after Lilly."
"I will praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made ...." Psalm 139:14

Welcome Rainbow Baby

We were blessed to welcome our son, Solomon David, into our arms today, September 15, exactly 9 months after losing Lilly.  Thank you God and Lilly for this special little guy!

Solomon weighs 7.5 lbs. and is 20 inches long. 









Labor and delivery were long and difficult, but of course worth it!  I will post more about his story asap. 

"I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made . . . ." - Psalm 139:14

  4. I will be praying for your beautiful angel, Lilly, that she will have a long and healthy life. God is a God of miracles! He has blessed you with one of them. Your family will be in my prayers also.

  10. You are incredible! We were just talking about your family this evening and then I see your post. What a beautiful blessing and we are privileged to see how the Lord has graciously given you another child to love and nurture. Lilly must be rejoicing with the angels over her new brother. I've contacted your husband about feeding you guys in the days to come. We give thanks for YOU!

    Love,

  11. Congratulations to you all! I love the picture of Lilly just above the first picture of Solomon. I'm sure that she is celebrating his birth as well. Glad you and Solomon are both doing well, and pray that you're able to get some rest and lots of cuddle time.
