Did you ever hear about a little thing called fate? One week ago, we met our birthmother and her boyfriend for lunch in Port Arthur. We were so nervous and I think they were, too, but after about five minutes, it felt like we'd known each other for years. There were too many coincidences-similar names, personality types, likes, dislikes, you get the picture. After a few hours talking and laughing, Brice and I left and we were so excited that Brice drove us to Louisiana instead of back to Houston. After several years of praying for children of our own, we were thrilled about this opportunity to be parents to not one, but two precious girls who were due April 5. We had plenty of time to prepare...right?
Lily Rose
Chloe Marie
On Thursday, February 10, Lily Rose and Chloe Marie were born by C-Section. They were 7 weeks early. Lily weighed 3 lbs 14 oz and was 16 inches long and her sister Chloe weighed 4 lbs 8 oz and was 17 inches long. Because they were preemies, they had to receive support to help their lungs develop properly as well as an IV to feed them. Seeing them hooked up to lines like that absolutely broke my heart. They looked so helpless and it was so hard because there was nothing we could do to help them, except pray.
