When I was at my most down
I would feel her move inside me
And I would sing her this:
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it’s all right
Little darling, it’s been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it’s all right
Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it’s all right
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes…
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it’s been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it’s all right
It’s all right
~George Harrison
And now, she is here.

He’s 5lbs 2oz 17″ with good lungs, but he’ll be in the NICU for a bit. I came to your site (something I do every morning) tonight to follow the March of Dimes link to make a donation because of Gray and Maddie.

It’s a darn good day for babies ~ and because of your Maddie and the MoD, there will be more and more of these darn good days to come. Thank you for telling your story.

Becky says:
I have been holding my breath in a sense waiting for the arrival of Binky. Waiting for you to feel the overwhelming love of your second child. And now I am a bit breathless as I remember so clearly the feelings of hold that second baby. I laid in bed crying the night before my son was born, how am I ever going to love this one as much as my first. It will never be the same…. The next day, pure unfiltered love. It’s true my heart expanded, it didn’t push anything out to make room for what was added.
I can’t wait to see pictures of the new and wonderful Annabel. Every evening while reading you updates, my daughter asks to see pictures of Maddie is. Thank you for sharing her with us.
I trust that your hearts have both expanded.
Em says:

Ann says:
Boney M. – ‘When A Child Is Born’
A ray of hope flitters in the sky
A tiny star lights up way up high
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born
A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds have changed whisperin’ the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn
This comes to pass when a child is born
A rosy fume settles all around
You’ve got the feel you’re on solid ground
For a spell or two no one seems forlorn
This comes to pass when a child is born
And all of this happens
Because the world is waiting
Waiting for one child
Black, white, yellow, no one knows
But a child that would grow up and turn tears to laughter
Hate to love, war to peace
And everyone to everyone’s neighbour
Misery and suffering would be forgotten forever
It’s all a dream and illusion now
It must come true, sometimes soon somehow
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born.
Congratulations dear Heather, Mike, Maddie and all of the rest of your family!!! Welcome to this world Annabel Violet Spohr! Your entire family are most lovely persons and our family could not be more happy for you on this day knowing that your little one has arrived. We are thrilled for your family and hope, wish and pray for the best for you and your family today and always! God bless you my dears and thank you for continuing to share your life story and your little ones with us.
Much love and best regards… From our family to yours!

Saskia says:
Congratulations!
It feels like you had just announced that Maddie was going to become a big sister and now she’s here.
Although I don’t know you this is the best news so far this year.
You and your blog have become a part of my daily life. Every morning (I’m abroad and therefore in a different time zone) I read your blog.
I don’t know what it’s like to loose your child, but I’m a big sister who has lost her little brother and let me tell you that although I barely knew him (as we were both very young when he died) I’m still thinking about him almost every day and I consider him my guardian angel (although I’m not an angel-person). I am sure that Maddie is watching over your little Annabel.
Annabel is so lucky to have you as her parents. I don’t know you, but you are incredible, strong, loving people.
All the best to you and your little Annabel (what a beatiful name!).
Love,
s. xxx
