Lily Rebecca

After 31 hours of labor, Tuesday August 16th, 2011 Lily Rebecca was born. She was 9 inches and weighed 9.9 ounces. She was a tiny little thing! We loved her little hands and feet!The hospital was very good to us. They had a group called SHARE come and dress Lily and take these beautiful pictures of her. They sent us home with a scrapbook page with her hand and foot prints -which I need to take a picture of and post. They are so sweet. They sent us home with every memento possible. Which I REALLY appreciate.
They let us have as much time with her as we wanted. This time alone with her was really good for me. Zach even left me alone for a bit with just me and her. I needed that.
Deuteronomy 32:4 "He is the Rock, His work is perfect" God does not make mistakes. She needed a body. She needed to come here only for a short time and she CHANGED my life! Heavenly Father is so loving and merciful to give us all the opportunity to have influence-no matter how long or short we live. I will never be the same. I don't want to be the same.
These times are sweet and these times are hard. There seems to be so much going through my mind and heart at one time that I don't really know what to do. It is my prayer that I will have the faith to rely on a Loving Heavenly Father and learn what He would have me learn. I really do pray that I can do this. It is hard when you miss someone so much.

Oh the sweet pictures, her tiny little hand holding yours.
I love her name so much because it reminds me of one of my favorite songs/scriptures:
Consider the lilies of the field,
How they grow, how they grow.
Consider the birds in the sky,
How they fly, how they fly.

He clothes the lilies of the field.
He feeds the birds in the sky.
And He will feed those who trust Him, And guide them with His eye.

I am sure the Lord knows and watches over your sweet little Lily, just as he knows your heartache.

We sure love you guys and hope your hearts will be lighter and that you'll be comforted.
