our miracle

today at my post-partum checkup my doctor had the results back from josie's birth.

the average cord length for a 30 weeker is 45 cm with 35 cm being the very low end of acceptable. josie's cord was 11cm.

the other major problem was with the placenta. she didn't really go into all the medical details, but once again she said that my little car accident was the reason josie is with us today. with the placenta problems and the tiny cord, she would never have made it to term and i wouldn't have noticed anything was wrong until it was too late.

every night when i head to the hospital, i go past the site of my accident. i don't think i'll ever go past it without thinking of josie. we are so lucky and blessed that she's in our lives!! it's pretty awesome how god used a car accident to bring us our little girl :)
