If being a mommy isn't the most amazing gift in life, I honestly have no idea what is. Those who are parents, I'm sure get this. But being a mommy to a "heart baby", is so incredible.
Jaelyn was born with Tricuspid Atresia, Hypoplastic Right Ventricle with a small VSD, large ASD, with two significant heart murmurs, Pulmonary Valve Stenosis and one kidney. It has been a terribly frightening road, but with our faith in the Lord it has become an absolutely sacred and special experience that George and I have been able to share together. Jaelyn is our little heart angel and we're so proud to be her "heart mom and dad".
This picture was taken when she was only 4 days old. And this wasn't her first smile. George and I have heard that babies can't connect mentally with smiling this early, but we say that's not so. She's got so much to be sad, mad and confused about, but she's been smiling from the beginning. She's got a broken heart, but that doesn't keep her from loving life.
