As most know, we discovered last June that we were expecting our fourth child! And to think...we went from fertility problems and in-vitro in the beginning to now having four kids!
At our 18 week check up, we discovered we were having another girl! Unfortunately we also discovered that she had Trisomy-18 and a related severe heart defect. Of course we were devastated to learn this news, but soon decided we would carry her as long as God would allow. We were lucky enough to carry Marissa Ella to 36 weeks.
Although Marissa left us just before birth, she was absolutely perfect! She weighed just under 4 lbs with lots of dark hair! We cherished the short time we had with her and thank the wonderful organization called "Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep" for the wonderful memories they left us with these photos.
We love the photos of Madison and JJ holding Marissa. Morgan was eager to see her little sister too!
