Windycity Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 The Windy City of Chicago is now one person bigger! On July 3rd, our little girl finally said eniugh is enough - time to get this show on the road. Our beautiful and courageous BP arrived at the hospital only minutes before little Miss Sarah Elizabeth made her entrance into the world! Sarah weighed in at 7 pounds and 5 ounces. She is 18 and 1/2 inches long and has a head of thick black hair. A beautiful glow to her new baby skin makes her the most precious thing we have ever seen. We were so blessed to have arrived in town just one day before Sarah's unscheduled arrival - allowing us just one meal with our BP before the big event. We were further blessed to be able to spend hours bonding with our BP at the hospital as we together welcomed Sarah Elizabeth intot he world. She is so strong! It has been a fantastic fourth of July weekend - with fireworks of our own kind! Finally, this post would not be completw without two things: 1. Matthew is now a big borther but somehow we are certain he is still waiting for us to take Sarah back to where ever it is she came from! Boy does he have a surprise coming! 2. Our heartfelt thanks to the entire Abrazo team - what an extraordinary group of ladies that change lives every day. 15 months ago we were childless - today we are parents of two wonderful children - it is still hard for us to believe how blessed we are and how our lives have changed. We are forever grateful. Lastly, a special thanks to Pamela who, by chance, happened to be the one who was here this week. It was so nice to share the special connection our children now have with you after the two placements you have handled. Will post a picture just as soon as we can. Look forward to seeing all at Camp Abrazo in just a few weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windycity Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Thanks to all for so many best wishes - we are so blessed to have two wonderful children in our lives along with two equally wonderful BMs. Well - as you might guess - someone needs a bottle and someone else needs a diaper change - got to run!

Stork Central Posted July 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 If you heard the faint sound of voices singing today and thought it was possiblt coming from an early campfire at Camp Abrazo, it was actually the Fertile Hearts [11/04] celebrating another placement for their group, and the song went something like this: "Old McMindens have a farm, e-i, e-i, o! With a newborn girl, and a baby cow! E-i, e-i, o! With a waa-waa here, and a moo-moo there; Here a waaaa! There a moooo! Everywhere a waaa! Mooo! They're finally real-live parents now! E-i! E-i! Ohhhhh!" Congratulations to two of our quieter Forumites, with love to your new daughter and her faithful birthmom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrendaMikeGabe Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Congrats Darryl and Lanice! We'd love to see some pictures! We are so happy for you two! What a lucky little girl! Five couples down, two to go!! Way to go Abrazo!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minden Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Well I'm sorry that I haven't replyed quickly but we're trying to learn how to get trough the day with the smallest amount of sleep possible. Lanice also said that Jodie wasn't old enough to go help me feed the cows yet (open the gates), so I just haven't had time to reply. Jodie is just the sweetest girl even when she is screaming at 3:00a.m. for a diaper change and feeding. Lanice and I wish everyone could have birthparents like ours, because with folks like them you just don't gain a child, you gain a whole family. They say the Good Lord works in mysterious ways, but to see God's work up and close is just a blessing beyond words. Thanks to all the girls at Abrazo. Hopefully we can get enough sleep in a couple of years that we can come back and do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
