Hi Shannon - I am a new visitor to your blog! I have blog hopped through many EA blogs and I think I found you on Ashley's blog, Expecting Miracles. Thank you for sharing a picture of your newest blessing -- glory to God for this precious life He has knit together and brought forth! We are just beginning our EA journey with our first transfer scheduled for September 19th at the NEDC . I think we are kindred spirits on many levels and I thank you for sharing your heart and life here on this blog. It has truly been a blessing to me! Kristine
