Hannah had a rough entrance into this world. First a c-section due to her transverse presentation and after birth having neonatal pneumonia. Through it all she has been a blessing in our lives. We have gained more faith in Jesus our Savior along the way. As Hannah has grown, we have enjoyed seeing her personality…
Today, I put away nearly everything that would show others there was a baby living in our home. It was time, that I came to terms with the fact that for now, we no longer really have a baby living here. Hannah is a toddler. In many ways I am okay, but in some I…
Let’s face it, we have all been there.
