I will praise You, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works. (Ps 9:1)
About Eden
Eden is a miracle. (See details below)
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! |

That's a look of wonderment if ever seen. She seems oblivious to the fact Prom is months away.

How adorable!! Just like a Daddy saying it's too short. Guess you can't start too early protecting your daughter. Love Dad & Mom
Oh you guys. She is so adorable. Tell her that her Aunt Kim loves her.
Aunt Kim
'BEAUTIFUL'.... doesn't even come close to describing the presence the look and the way i feel about my precious little sister, i don't think there is word powerful enough to describe her true beauty and how much she means to me!
There isn't a second of the day that passes where my heart isn't longing for her and loving her.
Aunt Fajita

Her first dress...and it is adorable---just like her! She is definitely "pretty in pink".
Eden has touched my heart so deeply. Each photo you share with us makes me love her even more.
Give her a kiss on her pretty little head from her Auntie Frannie!
I'm praying for our little angel.
You're in our thoughts and prayers. Just know you have touched many with your life so far. You will always be a blessing and testimony for the Lord!

7AM EP Fri-now I know why Oma wore that pink sweater to meet her Darling Eden-never can have too much pink! Kitty
How precious! I told my daughter Liz that we needed to pray for Baby Eden and we have been praying every night for her. Last night Liz prayed this, "Please help Baby Eden and please help her not to die." It was so heartfelt. Georgia
