May 18, 2009 … it’s hard to believe that this day is actually here … it carries so much meaning for us, and always will. We’ve been dreaming about this day since September 15 when we first found out we were pregnant … the fact that it is here both terrifies and amazes us. When the two small words “trisomy 18” first became a reality, making it to this date didn’t seem possible. But Miss Toot defied the odds, and the fact that we’ve been given 40 weeks with our precious little girl is a gift we will cherish forever. We’re so anxious to meet her, and hoping and praying with everything we have that she gets to open her eyes, say hello to this world and meet the people that surround her with love each and every day.
Thank you again for thinking of us today; your comments, texts and emails were very much appreciated. Toot is a lucky girl, and so are her parents …
Happy Due Date!!!! Our thoughts and prayers are with you!
I have been thinking about the three of you everyday. My fingers are crossed that you have even more precious time with Miss Toot!! Lots of Love!!
I love you all. My thoughts & prayers are with you as always.
I hope Miss Toot is able to open those little eyes and see two of the most wonderful parents a girl could ask for! Thinking of all three of you every moment of each day. hugs & smooches
Wishing and hoping and praying …
Love you guys,
xo Sarah
Even with all the uncertainty of what lies ahead, I can’t help but be excited too, I can’t wait to finally meet your sweet little girl. Hang in there in these last few days, you will do great and we’re all praying our hearts out for the three of you. (and B, too!)
She is already so extremely loved and will always be. I am thinking of you and Pat and my little niece and sending you wishes of happiness and strength!
