Hannah's First day. A remembering Journal

Hannah's first picture.  She came out crying and breathing!  Such and answer to prayer as the doctors said she'd not be breathing.  I was crying at this moment. 
First time I got to hold my little princess!  She was maybe 10-15minutes old!  I was so happy because I did not think they were going to let me!

Hannah's first weigh in.  She was 4 lbs 11oz 17in long! Her famous hook finger is already at it
Hannah was brought to the NICU because her blood sugar levels were too low.  And as you can see her breathing was needing help. 
First time Terri Lynn got to see her baby "didter". She loved her sister,  Always wanting to see Hannah while in the waiting room.  Hannah had a nose cannula put on for a few hours to help her breath.  She was also put in a warming bed.

Hannah in her warming bed. She had an ultrasound of her digestive system to see if it was all connected and it was! Praise the Lord,  She also had an echocarogram of her heart and a chest xray.  Poor baby so many tests.  Her heart did show a couple small holes but the doctors said they would close.  Her longs looked good also! 

Sam and Cassie gets to see Hannah for the first time.

Heidi's first time to see her baby sister

Hannah looks so tiny next to Martin.  Martin was so tender with her.  He loved holding her. 

Nathan loved his baby sister!  He said she is so little

Valerie loved seeing Hannah and was so thankful Hannah was doing so good

Sweet Princess. Did you know we almost named Hannah, Lucy?  But I felt God telling me she is Hannah Grace.  My husband told me to decide on the name that day between Hannah or Lucy. Hannah was definitely Hannah

Treasuring my time with Hannah Grace. I was so thankful the nurse said I could hold her anytime I wanted to!  Believe me she was in my arms or someones arms most of the time she was in the NICU and at home.

This how I got around to see Hannah the first day. 

Ps 139: 13-16     
 13 For You formed my inward parts;
         You covered me in my mother’s womb.
 14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;[b]
         Marvelous are Your works,
         And that my soul knows very well.
 15 My frame was not hidden from You,
         When I was made in secret,
         And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
 16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
         And in Your book they all were written,
         The days fashioned for me,
         When as yet there were none of them.

In Christ, Sandra (Hannah's mommy)

  1. This is so precious...what a dear scene. The kids are so loving, and for some reason Martin does look especially close to Hannah's heart with his tender hand on her head (he's going to be a great dad some day I think). I'm so glad you're doing this, Sandi. It seems very healing. And I know you wanted your little Hannah to be remembered. YOu bring such a message of hope and life to other T18 families - I am confident you will save some lives by impacting their decisions. *hugs*
