Pink and Brown Day!

Before she was born, we chose the combination of pink and brown to use for Gwyneth's room and other things. As it would turn out, the vast majority of her clothes are also pinks and browns, which is totally cool with us.

So, if you want to celebrate our miracle baby, wear something PINK and/or BROWN with us this Thursday! And, consider joining the Facebook Event for even more online fun!

    Just have to say... Tricia's prayer must've been a little more specific than just asking for a miracle baby. She must've have asked God to clone her husband. lol This child looks exactly like you, especially in the picture under "face of sick." She even looks like she has your freckles in that one. :)
    I LOVE her eyes in this picture and I'm partial to red headed babies like my youngest was. Unfortunately, her hair turned blonde. :( It's still pretty, though.
    Can't wait to see your birthday video for her.

    Pink and brown is one of my favorite color combos! Actually, brown with just about anything is my fave:) My little boy will be turning one on the 8th too (except he was 6 days overdue and 9lbs 12oz) so we will both celebrate by wearing brown. I don't think he would appreciate the pink, though, so maybe he'll be in brown with blue or green.

    I'm a stranger to you, but I'm in on the pink and brown (it's a favorite color combo of mine anyway)! I love checking in for the updates on Tricia and your Little Miss, and to see all of the new pictures :-) I've been reading along since sometime during the "story of us", while Tricia was still waiting for new lungs... and like some other blog stalkers, I stayed up most of the night waiting for updates when Tricia finally did receive her life-saving transplant. Your story (and the post you wrote debunking the myths of organ donation) convinced me to become an organ donor! Have a great new year in your new home!

    I have been reading your blog for almost a year and praying along with you as I have observed the hand of our mighty God over & over again evidenced in your lives. Sorry I have never posted before, I don't really know why. But I have been lurking...and praying. I had an emergency appendectomy last year on January 8 (which also happens to be dh's b-day). In the days following my surgery, I found myself with more time to surf the web than I usually have. I follow my out of town neice's blog to keep up with her little boy's development (he was a preemie, but now is a healthy, active 2 1/2 year old). She posted a link to your story on her blog and I clicked on it a couple of days after my surgery....I was hooked! Thank you for sharing your journey. I will continue to follow and pray with you...I am going to go find something pink & brown to wear on Thursday right now!
    In His love,
    Pam :)
