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! |

Kym and I are continuing to pray for Eden and both of you! What a blessing that little girl is and it is amazing to experience right along with you through this blog!

Eden is so beautiful!
Hi there,
You don't know me- I am a friend of a friend of a friend (I think). I was sent your blog as my son had Trisomy 13. Luke passed away 2 months ago now, but not before we got to spend the most wonderful 5.5 months with him. Knowing that Luke would not live a long life, we made the most of every second with him and it was 5 months I will always treasure.
Luke worked lots of miracles- in our church, in our lives, as well as many other's lives too. Your little Eden will do the same. There is something truely magical about these baies!
My fav bible verses at the moment are
I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
Phil 4:11-13
Luke's website is

should you wish you read his story.
Will be praying for you
Lys
What a cutie!- Georgia
