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! |
