Preemie Friends

Beverly and Hannah Grace and Abbey and Ava

Ava and Hannah Grace

Ava and Mommy had lunch today with Beverly and Hannah Grace. Right before Mommy gave birth to Ava, she found out that her friend, Beverly was pregnant. Mommy and Beverly were friends at First Baptist Woodstock. Beveryly and her husband now live in Kentucky, but were in town for the Christmas holidays. When Ava was in the NICU the one think Mommy always prayed that whatever the outcome, that God would recieve all of the glory and that others could be helped. Beverly ended up having to have an emergency c-section with Hannah Grace, at only 32 weeks pregnant. By that time Ava was home from the NICU and Mommy had a little time to adjust to having a preemie. Beverly would email/facebook Mommy while Hannah Grace was in the NICU and ask "preemie" related questions. Beverly and Mommy are hoping that as the girls grow older they will become good friends. One of the biggest lessons learned in the trial of Ava's early arrival, NICU stay and preemie-hood, is that through all things God deserves all the glory and praise and to help others that may be facing similiar struggle that you have faced.

Amen to that!!! As the mom of 2 preemies, I know that when I could not be there for my timy baby, that God was there, holding them in his hands!! When you dont even know if your baby is going to make it, where else do you turn but to God!! God alone deserves all the praise and glory for my 2 happy and healthy preemies that are now 7and 10!!
