Congrats Ashli! What a relief to know that the suffering is over. I hope that when you have the time you put up a webpage summarizing this experience so I can spread the word to others about your amazing story. I have told people about your blog but I can't do it justice when I try to explain the background info.

And after reading your post ref'd by RA, I'd say you sure did, Ash. (I thought I'd posted this comment already, guess it didn't "take.") You say after only 30+ min. of praying and the prayer chain, suddenly "all was well??" I'm getting the shivers. Prayers answered, miracle indeed. Sometimes God works real fast according to *our* measure of time. He sure did reward you for your trust in Him, your faith, your suffering through what you already knew in your heart and soul was what you had to do. God blessed you too with the right hubby and the right doc (did he really look like Keanu??). Wow, wow and triple wow. Happy Moms' Day indeed!

Congrats a million times over! Praise be to God, who hears our prayers.
She's so lovely, ashli.

There you go again, posting late-term, post-natal fetus pictures on your site to mislead and frighten women. Shame on you.
And congratulations again!

Ash,
Yey, congratulations to you and your family and lots of love to you and your gorgeous baby girl
I'm so, so happy about Elise. I kept thinking about her all day yesterday and calling up her picture to mind. She really is beautiful.
How are YOU doing? I almost passed out when I got to the part of the story where the nurse came in and said that weird stuff about anger.

-------------------------
Oh Ashli,
Elise is incredibly beautiful. I am rejoicing with you and your husband and
your son. I hope that you're on cloud nine celebrating : )
Hallelujah!

Ashli congratulations!!! Patte sent me a picture of Elise, she is absolutely beautiful, she looks just like you!!! I am so happy that all the hardship is over and you have been given the first prize for allowing God to work in you, He does have a sense of humor even though in your case it was no humor at all but a test of faith, I have been praying for you and your family through out the pregnancy and keeping up with your blog diary, you should publish it, it would help so many women. I hope you get this email from me.
Congratulations again.

Congratulations Ashli!!
Your re-cap of Elise's birth made me laugh and then cry tears of joy when I read that all was well - thank God and praise His Holy, Holy name!! You are truly blessed.
I am so very happy for you.
I saw her picture, she is absolutely beautiful.
love and hugs to you both,

Praise God, when was she born. We have not been to your site in some time now. But we have been praying for you all.

I'm a faithful, daily reader of the sicle and the diary. BUT MY PUTER WAS IN THE SHOP and I missed it.
Congratulations, she is gorgeous. That one pic is not sufficient. Please send or post some more.
I know you can appreciate this, so I'll just say it.. I'm all achy and JEALOUS! Give Elise lots of smooshy momma kisses for me and send more pictures.

Hey! Congratulations! Elise is sooo Beautiful! She looks so peaceful, like a little angel. I know you're busy and tired. I hope everything has gone well with the delivery and adjustments to a new baby. You really do have a beautiful little girl, I know you're proud of her, and you're happy to finally get to hold her. I know you had some hard decisions to make during your pregnancy, but you trusted God, and you obviously did what was right for little Elise!
love ya,
