Psalm 139:13-16

"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."

    I just stumbled upon your blog on the very day that Grace entered this world. God is in control of all the details in life, isn't he? Congratulations on the birth of your baby girl. We have a story that is very similar to yours. Our daughter is 18 years old now and was born with an occipital encephalocele. We found out at 26 weeks gestation. She is treasure to us and taught us so much more than we could ever teach her. If you want to read more about her story, I have a blog also.
    It is www.blessedby10.blogspot.com
    McKenna is the reason we have adopted 9 children with special needs!
    We will be praying for you and your precious gift!

    I found your blog recently and recommended my friend Celia to contact you. Her little guy had a occipital enephalocele and is 3 now. She posted up above, and left her email address. Please contact her for support from someone who's gone through this. She is an amazing mom, and she has an adorable and awesome son!
