The Gift of Life




Words can't describe today. Baby Layne entered the world today at 1:00 at 4 pounds and 1 ounce. This is the baby that was thought not to make it to term having Trisomy 18. She is perfect. She is stable right now , breathing almost on her own with a little help from oxygen. When I left Kristina this afternoon, she was groggy and exhausted. It was a joyous day! SO many people are praying for her and her family. My prayer is Kristina and Hamp will be able to spend some one on one time with her. Her little life is indefinite but only God knows the outcome.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAYNE GRACE GASTON!



Also, here is a peek of the family portraits Kristina, Hamp and the kids took last week. Andrea ( the photographer) was there today capturing Layne's birth. I know they will be beautiful as well.

**UPDATE**

10-15-10 I spoke with Kristina this morning and she was able to finally see and hold Layne last night around 8p.m. Layne is no longer on Oxygen and was very peaceful . She is doing very well at this point! Kristina is so thankful for all the prayers and concerns. Kristina will find out shortly how Layne's night went. Hopefully sometime today a Caring Bridge Site will be established. I will keep ya'll posted. Keep the prayers coming!
