We send out a big THANK YOU to Jennifer from Sugar Photography. Jennifer gave up her precious time to come to Children's Hospital to take pictures of the first time I got to hold Emma. She took some AMAZING pictures that truly capture the JOY I was feeling in those moments. Scott and I will cherish these photos forever. These photos capture a moment in time when my heart was made complete. Holding my precious little one was a dream come true. God has blessed us with this little girl. He has worked so hard in Emma's life and we are forever grateful to Him for this blessing. As the poem reads,
"Everyday I will strive to remember...
You chose me for her and no other
And I will embrace that beautiful day...
When I became a "heart mother".

We truly appreciate the prayers and support. Emma has had a few good days in a row. Please pray that the doctors will have the wisdom and knowledge to make the decisions necessary to continue Emma on this good path. Also, pray that Emma will be ready for these changes and continue to have good days!

ReplyDeleteThese pictures do tell it all! The look on your face is priceless and I was covered in chills from head to toe just thinking about what a miracle we were witnessing. God bless the talented photographer...she caught beautiful images that made me cry out of happiness for you. There is nothing like holding your baby for the first time especially after what you have been through. I am so excited for you and continually praying. I hope there are many more good days to come.
