I prayer for poop and we got it! Thank you Jesus. And a big one at that! I'll talk w/ doc in morning and maybe we can get another scan of tummy/intestines to see if things have improved!
I asked her nurse to call me prior to giving meds for tummy discomfort to see if I could soothe her first (even though I seem to irritate her more most times). Her nurse called at about 5:55am, I jumped outta my skin to the ringing phone...w/ my heart on the floor. She was fussy.
After a few moments of her crying and monitors beeping all over the place...all it took was an up on the shoulder snuggle w/ mommy. Oh, how I loved that (this position was a first) and wished I had brought the camera! Praying to have that moment again later on today. So again and answered prayer!
God you are so very wonderful!
Maybe God just isn't ready for lil miss Eva yet. Or maybe he knows that I needed that snuggle time. Or maybe Eva has more to tell the world and ain't leaving till she does so. Whichever it may be I have gotten more answers. So again, I will keep the requests coming.
I have asked God numerous times "where are you" ? "Please reveal yourself to me".."And to Vinnie"...And Oh how he has! More than ever! I told my "big sister" Dawn the other day that yes, I know that God provides miracles. I have always heard but have never seen...Oh, how I have seen! With my own eyes!
Please Lord don't stop here...

About Me
- Chrissy
- Pittsburgh, PA, United States
- Blessed mom of 7 ❤️ Dmitri 6.2015, Divino 9.2013, Deluca 10.2011, Dante 2.2009, Eva 3.17.08 (on 3.23.08 @ 2:57 AM ~ Eva went from my chest to the arms of Jesus), Mya 7.2000 & Dominic 5.1996. Eva, the 5th member of our family, was a true blessing from God for 5 days, 18 hrs and 10 minutes. At 13 wks of pregnancy, she was diagnosed with full Trisomy 18. And need I not forget Vinnie, father of 4 of my children, my best friend of 18 yrs, and my ROCK throughout it all. He has been nothing but supportive throughout the entire storm. I couldn't imagine going through this w/ anyone but him. Eva has changed our lives forever. I praise God for Eva and am thankful and grateful for every second we shared w/ her. I will cherish those memories forever. Until we meet again Eva. Mommy loves you! While in Atlanta, 6.27.08, surrounded by my "blog girls", is when I found out that we were expecting Dante. Our due date was 3.6.09, 11 short days before Eva's 1st birthday. My prayers after saying good-bye to Eva were more like begging God for new life. Then, I was still begging God…for a perfect, healthy baby that would get to come home and outlive me. I hope to never bury one of my children EVER again.

Yes, God is very good. His timing is perfect. If you are like me p you want to know what is happening, when it is happening and why it is happening - now! It is hard to be still and know that He IS God. But when that happens, such peace and happiness. Still praying! --Becky
Praying and checking on you many times a day.

Margarete and family

Chrissy,
"Good Friday" poop! This is great and I am so glad you were a part of this. Snuggling Eva must be the best medicine for your spirit right now. I am so blessed to pray for you and watch you living in this miracle God is unfolding in your lives, all 5 of you. Oh, and the "lip gloss":) I just love you, that is so like a mommy. As I told you long ago, I am praying for a miracle, I always do. I see it happening and I am so thankful for your time with her. Praying for much, much more. He is in control of His miracle and I believe He will continue to amaze us all through Eva. Get rest when you can and try to eat, it will help you heal physically sweet friend. I will remember to pray for Vinnie and the kids that there will be no fear and just love.
Love you all, Laurie in Ca.
Chrissy, this is what made my day today, reading where you wrote:
"God you are so very wonderful!"
And then when you added, "Or maybe he knows that I needed that snuggle time."
He knows. I know that He knows. He also knew that Vinnie and you and Dominic and Mya needed to know just how close He has always been to you, so He chose all of this for you. Eva was created intentionally, and God created her for you (OK, and also for us to love her and marval over her!!).
Eva is most definitely fearfully and wonderfully made, and chosen exactly to be born TO YOU on March 17, 2008. Not one thing about her is a "mistake" (as you know better than anyone else).
And what I love most about you today is that you "get" this, that God has smiled on you, and has not turned His back.
I love His timing, because if poop had never been an issue, who'd have been praying for poop? We'd assume it was a normal occurrence and take it all in stride. God uses all these things to remind us that every speck of her body needs His touch, and that He is SO in charge of her days. By requiring us all to pray over her daily needs, in the same way we had to pray for Poppy Joy, Triston, Mary Grace, Maddox, God reminds us that He decides the days allotted for her, and has her carefully held and protected in His hand.
The entire of Eva's life continues to be a blessing to all of us.

Poop!! Yay! So glad to hear this news!
Praying for you from Ohio.

Chrissy,
I'm not sure if I've commented on you blog before, but I have been following the T-18 families since last summer when there was a prayer request at our church for Copeland. (Her great-grandfather had been an elder at our church years earlier)Ever since that time, I have been in constant prayer for all of you in the T-18 family. I stand in awe of the fact that a tool (the internet)that can be the source of so much evil, God has used to further His kingdom and bring glory to Himself thru all of you. My faith has been deepened and strengthened thru all of you and I can never thank you enough for allowing us to have a glimpse into this most private and excrutiating time in your lives. You will never know, this side of Heaven, how many souls you have touched. Eva is absolutely precious! I love that little hair-do...it reminds me of my Mom, every baby girl that has been born into our family, she takes their hair and curls it around her finger on the top of their little head, just like Eva's. Praying specifically and fervantly for you, your family and all the T-18 links on your blog. Prayers & Blessings from Susan in Amarillo,TX
For the Lord is good and his mercies will not fail us! They are new each day, so lift your voice and say the Lord is Good, the Lord is Good!
Praising God for all he continues to do in your family and the miracles he is working in Eva's life.
How exiciting POOP! And a bath and loads of snuggle time with mom ... praying for a family of five here in southern california!
Pauline
Woohoo!! That's a very big girl, Eva!! :)
God is good and I pray He continues to make His presence known. When you cannot seem to find Him, He is the breath in your lungs. Kiss that girl for me.
I'm lifting you up all the time.
Yippee yay for poop!!!! God is so good!!!
Continuing to lift you all up.....
Love ya!
Alicia
