He loves us because He loves us because He loves us....

Today was Valentine's Day.  It also marks 2 months to the day when I got to see my beautiful baby girl.  It was also the day that Bobby and I finally had our genetic appointment.  It couldn't have gone any better.  There is nothing wrong with Bobby and I!! We can have perfectly healthy babies, it is possible!  We were told that Enoch, and Mary Alice's reasons for their outcomes were totally random.  We just happen to have 2 random things happen to 2 of our babies.

We also found out the main cause for Mary Alice's conditions.  She had Amniotic Banding happen to her.  If you do the research you will see that it's an aweful thing.  When you do, you may think, well there were sooo many things that went on, how could this be what she had.   :( Well, the banding wraped around her cord just days after her life begain inside me that it cut off most of the nutrients she needed to grow. 




Also, I just wanted to say that Jesus loves you, because He loves you, because He loves you, because that's what He is... Love. Happy Valentine's Day.

Butterfly

A few months ago a little 3 year old girl said to her daddy and mommy, "Mary Alice is like a butterfly and when she comes out she is going to fly home to Trey (Bobby) and Rosie."  This is from the daughter of one of my very closests friends.  I didn't take what this little girl said lightly because I knew this girl had spoken some very profound things before and I knew that an average 3 year old wouldn't think of something like that on her own.  She spoke truth.  Now I didn't know if Mary Alice was actually going to come home with Bobby and I or if she was going to fly home to heaven and be in our hearts for ever.  Either way, it was truth and I clung to it as a hope, knowing everything is going to be just fine no matter what happened. 

Also, even before I became pregnant with little Mary Alice I knew that I wanted a nursery decorated in a cowboys and indians theme.  Boy or girl I didn't care.  Since that was the case I found myself drawn to horses.

About a week after Mary Alice was born I went to one of my favorite stores, Mardels.  While I was there, I came across a book about a child prodigy name, Akiane.  She is a famous artist that painted things she saw in her Dreams.  Her most famous painting is probably one she did of Jesus when she was 8 years old. 

As I looked through the book I came across a painting that I will never forget. 

"Butterfly Passion"
...Whether in his dream or for real, a horse is running after his love downstream, while the love butterflies surround him. The bubbles represent womb and beginning. I painted this scene to express the search for love and its meaning... - Akiane


 
 
So there is not much to say after looking at the painting and reading what Akiane had to say about it.... All I could say is, "Thank You Jesus!"
