Today our sweet little girl turns one year old!
It has been a day of ruffles, pink frosting, a new baby doll, and giggles.
It has also been a day to reflect on the goodness fait
hfulness of God. I shared earlier this year about Accident Day. We chose the name Fidelity "faithful" as a life long reminder of God's goodness and faithfulness to our family to bless us with a precious little life just a week after sparing Scott's life.
We did not know at the time but God would again prove to be faithful in preserving my life after her delivery.
Today on Ellie's first birthday I can't help but reflect on her birth. There were some complications and I ended up losing a lot of blood. Unfortunately no one realized exactly how much blood I had lost until it reached dangerously low point.
I will always remember holding my precious newborn girl while Scott quickly signed release forms for emergency surgery.
I will always remember having to say good bye to Scott and to leave him to care for Ellie while I was rushed into surgery when she was just 2 hours old.
But most of all I will always remember God's faithful protection and once again choosing to give us a precious new life and allowing my life to be spared following her birth.
Happy Birthday Ellen Fidelity Kroeger!
