Elizabeth Ann is beautiful. Our family has experienced a similar event recently...my cousin gave birth to identical twin baby girls. Though it was not known before their birth, both had a chromosomal condition, Trisomy 13. Little Katie lived 9 days and Addie lived 5 weeks. I know how much the love, prayers and support from family, friends and even strangers meant to my cousin and her husband. I'm amazed at the magnitude of your strength and faith and am very glad to see that you have the love, support and prayers from many people to help hold you up during this time.<br /><br />Wanda BradfordAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982592233003589044.post-10855207144197521012009-05-01T21:02:00.000-05:002009-05-01T21:02:00.000-05:00Johnna & Jeremy,

I appreciate your ...Hugs and prayers for you both. I appreciate your honesty and openness - it brings back so many memories. I actually quit working right after the 20 week ultrasound. I just couldn't handle being around dying patients in my emotional state at the time. Do what you need to do to get through these few months and don't feel at all guilty about it.<br /><br />I purchased a doppler on ebay for those nerve wracking days when I couldn't feel her move for a long time. She was never a very wiggly baby, and I too was nervous that I wouldn't realize that she had died inside of me. It was worth every penny. You can rent them for a very reasonable rate - around 20 bucks a month. Might be worth it for these last few weeks.<br /><br />I love your scripture post. You've got some wonderful ones in there. Hang in there, and know that some day you will look back on this as both your greatest trial and your greatest blessing.Nurse Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05701919857269926765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982592233003589044.post-82313516644932458262009-04-30T10:10:00.000-05:002009-04-30T10:10:00.000-05:00Johnna,

Thank you for sharing your story with us this way - it has put a burden for prayer in my heart that I haven't had in a long time. There really are no words that I can offer - and I have hesitated to say anything, because I would never want to bring more sadness. But I will try to humbly tell you that there is no doubt in my mind that you and Jeremy were chosen for Elizabeth Ann. God, in his infinite wisdom, knew that you and Jeremy would fill her little life with enough love for a lifetime. He also knew that you would use your heartache to show others His love. You have done that for me, and countless others. Bless you both, and I pray that you will have as much time as possible to share with your daughter when she arrives. I pray for the peace and comfort that only Christ can bring you. God bless you, Jeremy, Jessica, and the rest of your family. <br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Mandy (Moore) BroadhurstAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982592233003589044.post-80832959662968986892009-04-29T10:28:00.000-05:002009-04-29T10:28:00.000-05:00I found your blog through a friend's facebook page...I found your blog through a friend's facebook page.

"But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord; I will say ' YOU are my God.' My times are in Your hands." Pslam 31:14-15a <br /><br />Please know that you and Elizabeth Ann are surely in His hands... He never makes a mistake or misses something. Just like my son had 3 holes in his heart when he was born, God knew it all along. And He's already provided a way for you to get through it, as tough as it will be. Lean on Him, Cry on His shoulder. He's holding you as you grieve, and will continue to hold you as you heal.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Suzanne PowellAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982592233003589044.post-23563556916428165502009-04-28T21:39:00.000-05:002009-04-28T21:39:00.000-05:00I love you sister!!

You both are constantly in my thoughts...many times throughout the day. I have prayed for strength, comfort and especially for you, Johnna, to have peaceful, restful, refreshing nights of sleep. I think about Jeremy and that sweet, loving demeanor of his and know that his heart is breaking as well. I love you both so much and as the due date draws near I am praying for God to give you as much time as possible to bond with your precious Elizabeth Ann. What a special name she has and how precious to me she already is. I love you both and like mom said in an earlier post to you, I hug you both in my mind all the time. Stay strong. You are loved.

I can see the pain growing in your Dad's eyes as the weeks go by when he talks about you in Sunday School. I can only imagine how your eyes (and Jeremy's) must look. Your entire family is in our prayers and we still pray for a miracle for Elizabeth Ann; even if that miracle is a few precious moments with your precious daughter! <br />Please let us know if we can do anything for you!<br />Angel Duke<br />(FBC Pelham, Dad's SS class)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982592233003589044.post-9043914985009156032009-04-28T18:34:00.000-05:002009-04-28T18:34:00.000-05:00Thinking of you....praying for you...loving you.

I admit that my heart is breaking for you, but then, my spirit is so encouraged by your faith, and your total dependence on your Lord. Please know that I, and others that I know, are praying for you two, and baby Elizabeth Ann. My prayer is for His will to be done, and we know that He wants us to petition our hearts' desire to Him. So, my petition is for a miraculous transformation in that little body. I pray, also, for that special time with Elizabeth Ann that you, Johnna, described in this last post, and for all that you are hoping to happen. May God give you peaceful rest, without the dreams to disturb. Take that time that you and Jeremy need in these next few weeks. Hold on to God's promise of never leaving you or forsaking you. He is faithful, as you already know.

First, please know you, your husband, Elizabeth Ann, and your family and friends are in my thoughts and prayers. Second, I cannot even imagine how this must feel and what you must be going through with all of this - I am sorry for when people have said that to you and your husband, b/c only if they have been through THIS, they have no clue! I had a close friend/neighbor to not know this had happened to their child until his birth, so I pray you are able to find peace in knowing, and peace in having time with Elizabeth Ann. I pray for a miracle. I pray for God's will. May you and your husband find peace and may your faith stay strong. You are both an impressive image of how believing, having faith and trusting God should be! Lastly, I pray for you. I am not a mother, but both of my sisters are and I know how amazingly strong their bond with their babies is, what their love for them is - and you obviously have that for Elizabeth Ann - and that is amazing. May you stay strong, healthy, believing, steadfast...and may you and your husband be able to handle this each step of the way, together!!! ><> love, mandy :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03758723395087430556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982592233003589044.post-66704395612632465612009-04-28T13:18:00.000-05:002009-04-28T13:18:00.000-05:00My heart is breaking for you as I read this but Go...My heart is breaking for you as I read this but God is forever faithful.
