Parenthood is so vital for growing children and must be done in making the right choices.

I don't know you personally, but through reading your blog, it surprises me to know that we are not friends. You have done a phenomenal job documenting your pregnancy and everyone who reads your stories are very blessed. You appear to be a very strong woman and I would like to offer my thoughts and prayers so that you may stay that way! Your daughter is beautiful - thank you for bringing her into this world! <BR/>Wishing your family strength,<BR/>StephanieThe Gulliver Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09085337235355975865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1706957318443128019.post-68141913131548430412008-08-28T18:08:00.000-07:002008-08-28T18:08:00.000-07:00I do not know you but found your blog several mont...I do not know you but found your blog several months ago when you were just beginning this journey. You words were so inspiring and Catherine will treasure these letters one day. I would check back every so often to see how you and your husband and Catherine were doing. And although I do not know you, I kept you in my prayers. What a true joy when I checked back and read the miraculous news for Catherine.

Looking forward to seeing God glorified even more through your story and your life. As those eyes open, how we long to have your mouth open and tell us what it was like to have Jesus hold your little body, while He was preparing you to come early. One day, I believe we will all have that chance to hear from you yourself. Love you little beauty! And Katie and Donny, I praise the Lord for how much He already has blessed you both with this precious child.

You guys are both precious individuals - it would only make sense that your already infamous daughter would follow in your footsteps. All of my students at school are praying for you guys and courageous Catherine, and they ask for updates all the time. Know that you guys have cheering sections everywhere - One of my senior students asked me today if you planned to publish this blog as a book - not only because he liked the idea of writing to your daughter before she's born, but because I'd read to the class some of your words... and they all were in awe. <BR/>When you're able, please do let us know how she does tonight and tomorrow am off of the ecmo. I'll have my computer at work set to refresh the blog screen every few minutes. :) Much love to you guys - hang in there.
