Lizzy announcement.jpg

Although she is tiny and was born at a mere 25 gestational weeks, she is definitely a fighter & continues to amaze us every day with her strength.

Please keep her in your daily prayers as she continues to grow healthy & strong.

Meghann, She is beautiful...and so very precious. Your family will be in my prayers.

(And her name is beautiful...my two daughters' middle names are Elizabeth & Caroline! So sweet.)

We will definitely be praying for you. My youngest was born premature because I had preeclampsia. I had to be in the hospital on bedrest and just as they did with you, levels were constantly monitored to make sure levels didn't raise and every day the baby stayed inside me was a blessing. She was born early and had to be in the NICU but these babies ARE strong. It will be hard for you to go back and forth, to not have your baby there with you but the time will hopefully go quickly as she gets stronger and stronger until you can take her home. The hardest part for me was leaving the hospital without my baby. May God bless your little family and may the doctors be blessed with wisdom in caring for her.

Meghann, I am sending you congratulations, love, hugs, and strength. She will feel your love and positive energy. Hang on for this crazy ride of life and love.:)

Holly said...

Be strong Meghann. She is a miracle and those babies are so strong. I know the NICU can be hell, we've been there, but be strong and have hope. I'm praying for you and your sweet baby girl.

Brandy Layton said...

I know what you are going through. 24 years ago our son was born prematurely. (3months early at 1 lb. 15 1/2 oz). He is 24 now.....our miracle. I was on vacation when he was born. It was the hardest time of my life. He graduated college almost 2 years ago and is out in the real world working now.
I write this, to bring you hope and to know that prayers are answered. Your daughter is beautiful. The NICU has wonderful people taking care of her along side you and your husband. Take care of yourselves and know that I will be praying for your beautiful daughter.

I have been checking back nonstop. She is beautiful! Girls are fighters...and she's going to amaze everyone. Huge congratulations and prayers for her growth!!!

Susan Beth said...

You must feel so many conflicting emotions. I will pray for her, knowing that God works in all things. I have a friend with two little tiny ones that are about to graduate from high school - weighed a pound each. Lots to be hopeful about! Lots!

Debbie said...

Praying she gains strength with each passing day!

MrsModel T said...

Be strong Meghann! There are so many prayers and good vibes headed your way from people all over that are wishing you and Simon and Elizabeth the best! Love y'all!

april said...

this brings tears to my eyes. First of all, congratulations! She's absolutely gorgeous and precious and I know you love her so very much. Second, my prayers are with you and please please please let me know if you need anything. Christine had a baby in the NICU born at 27 weeks, just last year, so it's fresh on my brain (and her's too) if you need anyone to talk to.

Mary Jo Rhoda said...

Congratulations!!!! Will continue to keep you all in my prayers.

Anne said...

Congratulations Meghann and Simon on your sweet little Elizabeth. I continue to pray for you all. She seems a good little fighter so far and for that you will be so proud. God can do amazing things and he will be with Lizzy as she develops. This is such a special photo of her. Definitely one to be in her scrapbook. I pray for your quick recovery. xx

Diane Payne said...

Praying your little girl continues to grow and grow. I hope you get to see her pretty eyes really soon.

Jennifer Grace said...

Ah Meghann. I'm so pleased that's she's doing well so far. She is stunningly lovely and so very precious, I'm really happy for you. I have been thinking of you so much and I told my husband your story too so there were extra good thoughts being sent your way. We both send our congratulations that you are staying strong and have brought a beautiful little girl into the world. I shall watch this space with anticipation to see her grow. xxx

Beautifully breathtaking. Just scrolling through your main page and briefly glancing at the photos, she looks bigger in the more recent photos. She is fighting!
