Words can’t express the honor it was to be at this birth.  Sweet Mercy was diagnosed with Trisomy 13 and was not expected to live.  I was there to document the time they had with her and to share in the joy and sorrow of her birth.  I was honored.  Everything went smoothly and the staff at the hospital was really wonderful.  The best part is Mercy is still with her family.  They know she won’t last too much longer, but every minute they get to share with her is truly a gift from God.adbirth_web_1

    What sweet pictures and beautiful family. I know each and everyday gets harder as with each day you love and cleave to Mercy more as any mother and father would. My heart aches for you both. I pray the grace of GOD will comfort you and hover over you during this bitter sweet time. I pray you will feel HIS presence holding you as you hold Mercy. This is a memory that will last a life time.
