20 inches long
Her birth was an amazing experience as I was there to help (Andrew was in the waiting room). To any of you who might think - wow, she's so lucky she didn't have to endure labor, let me tell you, I haven't experienced labor for myself, but the past 3 days have been the hardest that Andrew and I have ever endured - physical pain would have been a welcomed release. It was only through Heavenly Father that we were able to continue. Emotions that we've never experienced as we saw a family hurting trying to make the best decision for this child, and us nervously hoping and trying to remain positive in spite of it all. One things for sure, it is about love. There are so many people that love this child and I know you, our dear friends and family have endured so much with us along the way. Your prayers were definitely felt and our debt of gratitude could never be paid.
