I have a baby girl with a genet...I understand you. <br />I have a baby girl with a genetic disorder, and while it's not the same, in a way it is.<br /><br />I also got Baby Center's emails all through pregnancy and after birth. She was born a few days late, so the baby development emails were a week ahead. I didn't bother changing it because a) it's nice to see what the upcoming week will bring and b)of COURSE my baby will be super bright and advanced, and will be on par with the development one week ahead of her.<br /><br />Pfffft.<br /><br />In the beginning it was okay because it was all about nursing and burping and crying and swaddling, and it was okay when the first few milestones began to emerge. But then I just would read about these children who have no resemblance to my own. <br /><br />So I get you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968022325149168758.post-4307740826169924632009-10-27T00:03:34.137-07:002009-10-27T00:03:34.137-07:00I was at Lily's party, too, but wasn't bol...I was at Lily's party, too, but wasn't bold enough to introduce myself. I read your blog every so often and my heart goes out to you. You are a gifted writer. I do believe in the power of prayer. One of my favorite films, Shadowlands, is about C. S. Lewis. He says prayer doesn't change God, it changes us. I don't pretend to have any answers, but I do believe God loves your baby girl and allowed this for some reason. I lost a sister to suicide. There is no way to wrap my brain around it. I just have to believe that ALL things work together for good. He promised. I will pray for your girl. And for you, too.Jessicahttp://teamking.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968022325149168758.post-5324518320615632672009-10-26T13:06:33.199-07:002009-10-26T13:06:33.199-07:00What a great post.

I'm trying to think of something witty to write. I can't think of anything. Sorry, maybe I shouldn't have even started this comment but I'm not a quitter. So instead I will say that I will NOT look at Baby Center or anything else related to Baby Center in your and Aviana's honor. So take THAT Baby Center!!!!Cameohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04815107970059019435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968022325149168758.post-55435381385317605252009-10-26T13:00:04.340-07:002009-10-26T13:00:04.340-07:00Amen Jen!

Now I do have two gorgeous Guate Tots and I didn't want to let Baby Center know about them. Not that Baby Center did anything wrong! I'm praying for your little sweetheart!<br />JessAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
