  8. YAY! Thank Heavens all went well! He sure looks healthy. Congratulations on your newest addition, the fast labor, your endurance, everything! Barnabás, huh? : ) I'm extremely happy AND relieved for you. For a second there I was wondering if you'll have to undergo a C-section, but no. I'm so happy. This post made my day. Much love, many hugs to you all. PS: He looks like Steven, Sr!

  13. Congratulations on a beautiful little man. He was just the size Caitlin was born... they seem so small don't they? I am over joyed to hear that you are all well and healthy, and what a wonderfully brief labour. I hope you are resting and recovering nicely, and that Boaz is learning to feed easily.

    Also love strength, and comfort to you and your family as you mourn your sweet Baby A. Let your heart feel what it needs to, please do not deny any grief you may have because you 'should only be happy' that this dear Boaz has joined you. Take the time to mourn and remember your darling angel baby as long as you need to, honour your feelings and memories of him. Fly free, sweet Angel A.

    Blessings on you all, from one big family to another - Annabelle.

  19. Oh he is too precious for words. I am sure having been through it myself that the moment was sweet and bitter at the same time. Please don't hate me for saying this, but I still catch my breath ten years later when I see my daughter in the mirror and see two of her. It cuts me in half. But every moment of her is a joy and a blessing, and I must accept that this was God's plan. I can do nothing else. But that doesn't mean that God doesn't allow me to mourn what might have been. And I do so wish that her sister was with us. More than anything, I wish her identical twin was here with us for us to know her and dote and love on her. My congratulations that you had a successful birth and are awash in the joy of a new miracle sent from God. My only wish is that you had both boys to hold to your heart. I know, one in your arms, and one in your soul. May he only know a life of joy and family and strength. You are strong and thoughtful, you will get there. But I will forever grieve my daughter's lost twin, and I will grieve and pray for yours. With all my best.

    1. Én is ugyanúgy szurkoltam Értük, a komplikációk kezdete óta. Amikor megláttam ezt a képet, olyan öröm fogott el, mintha a mi családunkban történt volna ilyen csoda. Gyönyörű kicsi fickó, szép nagy baba, ennyi megpróbáltatás után boldogságot és megnyugvást hozott az Anderson családba. Többször megnézem ezt a képet, és mosolygok rajta. Mindennap történnek csodák.

  26. Aloha Boaz's Mommy!!!
    Little sistah, I got you through a Bing Search after I saw your hubby in a video showing his 'Citizen of Israel' paperwork. LOL! Kudos for what he did! We need to keep this up to keep our rights intact!

    Then, I see the most precious face! no wait... FACES! You have a very beautiful family little sistah. I will keep all of you in my prayers.

    Come talk story any time! I'm on YouTube as AuntyKeli and Facebook as Aunty Keli Garcia. Since you have so many beautiful souls to watch over, please... keep them away from Pacific waters unless you have a geiger counter. We've been tracking high radiation levels not just in Hawai'i, but all up and down the West Coast. Also, stay away from tuna and nori (seaweed) and all items from Japan as multiple tests have shown these positive for radiation as well.

    May God continue to richly bless you and your family and keep you all safe in His loving and tender care!

    A hui ho! (til we meet again!)
    - Aunty Keli ;-)
