At approximately 5:01pm on January 2nd, 2019 5lb 11oz Mary Eliora Lombardi was born, and she took Mommy & Daddy’s breath away.
5 years...
After 5 years, hundreds of prayer warriors, countless tears, many sleepless nights, this babies heartbeat came across the sonogram machine.
I can’t count how many days I spent with Virginia praying. Whether it was for her or for me; that’s what made this day extra special for me. Two years ago I remember sitting with Virginia a couple of months after a miscarriage telling her there’s gotta be something bigger planned. Whether it was traveling, paying off debt, going back to school; things were going to fall into place. I could feel God working through me that day to get to her. Shortly after, she enrolled in school and became a Cosmetologist. A pretty damn good one at that. And while I was sitting in the pedicure chair of her new job something compelled me to bring up babies. As I’m going on about God’s perfect timing, she stops me, looks me in the eyes and says “April, I’m pregnant” and my world came to a stop. The amount of victory tears I cried that night as I fell to my knees thanking the Lord were the same victory tears I had this day!
Justin and I strategically planned me coming to the hospital in hopes of surprising our new Momma with a fresh 48. The day was filled with tears, newborn smiles, and little baby sounds. The minute that little girl locked eyes with me, I knew she was the most perfect Rainbow Baby for these two proud parents.
Virginia and Justin are a true testimony of Gods faithfulness and love. This little babe is a bigger blessing than she could ever know and I hope one day she does ❤️
