Baby Elijah

Today we got to see our sweet baby Elijah in a 3D/4D ultrasound at Bella Angel Imaging in Maple Grove. I do not have any words that can even begin to describe our day.

First of all, I want to say "thank you", well actually, a thank you is not enough, to two wonderful people named Scott and Diane. They have a beautiful baby daughter named Grace who was born into Heaven. Their sadness turned into strength to help others turn their sadness into their own strength. They started a foundation called Sustaining Grace (http://www.sustaininggrace.org/) to give the gift of 3D/4D ultrasounds to parents who have received a fatal diagnosis of their unborn children. Today, we received this gift; because of Grace, my husband and I and our families were able to see Elijah alive. Whether you know me personally, or don't know me at all, please consider donating to their cause. Without them, I never would have been able to have these pictures after my baby's body leaves this world and his soul enters into Heaven, waiting for his mommy and daddy.


Although I may not get to keep Elijah in my life for as long as I want; I have amazing 3D pictures, 4D live footage, and a very soft teddy bear that holds inside of him the sound of Elijah's very own heartbeat. Hearing my baby boy's heartbeat come from inside the bear makes me feel as if the bear has a soul of its own, my sweet, precious child Elijah. It will live on forever and never die. I will listen to it always.


Please meet our gift from God, Elijah Andrew...
