Another Beautiful Butterfly is Born
February 22, 2012A few weeks ago, I received a message from another mother telling me that her unborn baby had Turner Syndrome, diagnosed 13 weeks into her pregnancy. She was currently 34 weeks pregnant and awaiting the birth of her baby. She touched my heart when she told me, "I have read your posts and would like to thank you for sharing them. They have helped us stay positive, but yet be okay with our true feelings sometimes." She specifically referenced this post. Rereading it today, still stings, still makes me cry.
Of course when I found out her baby was born this past week, I asked if I could announce it for her to the world! And so, it is my distinct pleasure to announce today that another beautiful butterfly is here

Her mom says, "She is our little fighter and put up a good fight coming out. We are so lucky to have her here!"
Welcome Abbey! We are so happy you made it from your mommy's womb into her arms!
You are gorgeous, and Lily is lucky to have another Turner Syndrome sister. I hope someday our girls can meet face to face.
Do me a favor today... leave a comment for Christy and Abbey, welcoming Abbey! I'll make sure that Christy gets all of them.

Thank you for welcoming Abbey on your blog! She is a miracle baby and we wish her the best in everything she does. She has an amazing family, the most caring parents and the most wonderful siblings! I have been reading your blog after Christy made reference to it a few months ago. I'm trying to educate myself and my husband on TS so we can be a pedicle of support for Christy, Scott, Abbey, and her siblings. Thank you again for writing about TS, bringing awareness, and thank you again for the post on Abbey.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Stephanie (proud auntie of Abbey)
