I'm Vickie, been married since 1985. DH & I are both 47. We have a grown son, born in 1986. We were barren thereafter until 2003, when we had another miracle pregnancy. It was a wonderful time of recapturing youth & vigor, and we were very excited to be so blessed. Sadly, Abigail died in utero the week of her due date thanks to some outlandishly bad medical providers masquerading as knowlegable professionals. Consequently, she was stillborn on December 6, 2003 after nearly 50 hours of sorrowed labor. She may have been born still, but she was still born and is still loved. Sixteen months later, we were blessed again with a 3rd miracle child. Anne came into the world on April 28, 2005 after yet another wonderful pregnancy. Sadly, we discovered after her birth that she had a heart defect caused by trisomy 18. She died suddenly & unexpectedly of congestive heart failure, just before midnight on June 28, 2005. Anne was 61 days 10 hours & five minutes old when she left her mama's arms & flew into the presence of the Lord. She was a wonderful sparkly child, who along with her siblings, are the subject of most of my writings, interests & hobbies.
