Sarah's Miracle: With a pregnancy that ended in a miscarriage, I was overjoyed to discover that I was pregnant again. After intermittent bed rest, hormone pills, and hours of praying for a miracle, by the start of my ninth month of pregnancy, I was so ready to meet my baby girl. However at a routine doctors appointment they discovered that she had stopped growing and they weren't sure that she would survive. Three weeks of daily trips to the hospital for tests to make sure that she still had a heartbeat left me feeling defeated. Instead of being excited about my baby's birth, I was fearing the worst outcome imaginable: losing my baby girl. Constant prayers and good wishes ushered me to the hospital to meet my little girl on July 26th. She had made it to her scheduled birth, however the doctors had prepared me for the probability that she would be born with severe health problems, most likely Cerebral Palsy. I kept making deals with God... if she was alive, we'd deal with any health problems that came along. I just needed my baby to live. Today, Lily is 2 years old and one of the brightest little girls in her preschool. She's beautiful, smart, hilariously funny, and completely and totally healthy. God gave me my miracle when he gave me Lily, and I thank Him every day for her.
