This photo is incredible, but not for the light hearted (blood and stuff).
It shows Eden coming out of the c-section cavity. Originally they tried to bring her head first, but Eden flipped. So, they had to take her out feet first. The photo shows her with her head still in the cavity.

From conception to birth, she has shown that "With God nothing will be impossible." (Luke 1:37)
After 19 years of marriage and no kids, God surprised us with little Eden.

Miracles of Eden
Here are a few of Eden's Miracles:
Ultimately, the doctors were right in the diagnosis, but the percentage of those who make it as far as Eden is minute. We are so happy we continued the pregnancy! It was worth it all for the seven days we had with her.
| * | We became pregnant at all. After 19 years of marriage and seemingly unable to have kids. |
| * | 12 Weeks. Her ultrasounds and Tina's blood tests showed Eden would not make it to 19 weeks. |
| * | 19 Weeks. The doctors were shocked that she was still around and the ultrasounds looked 'normal' |
| * | 23, 25, 29 Weeks. Doctors continued to be shocked. They told us we should expect to lose her soon. |
| * | 33 Weeks. Doctors decided to deliver her early but thought she would not survive the birth. |
| * | July 3rd. Eden did survive and lived for seven days. |
| * | She stole the hearts of Mom & Dad without doing much of anything. |
| * | She stole the hearts of many of you whom she's never met! |

Unreal foot photo, really amazing -
Song of Solomon 7:1 - How beautiful your sandaled (bar) feet, O prince's daughter! Your graceful legs are like jewels, the work of a craftsman's hands.
Isaiah 52:7 - How beautiful ... are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, ..., who proclaim salvation, who say ..., "Your God reigns!"
Romans 10:15 - And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"
