This morning when we walked into the NICU there was a new baby beside Aviannah. I noticed right away that the baby's name on her bed was Ava. I thought "Oh neat, similar to Aviannah and they are roomates!" Her mom was there so we started chatting about our babies. I told her we were adopting Aviannah and she lit up and told me that she was fostering this baby and was hoping to adopt sometime in the future. She said she had heard about us because the nurses had gotten us mixed up. We quickly figured out why. Turns out her name is Mandy! (with a y). How cool is that? We have the same name and we both named our babies similar names!
We continued to chat and she told me that she is a photographer and she asked if we'd like her to take some newborn pictures of Aviannah! Of course I said YES! So tomorrow morning we're meeting at the hospital to do some pics! I am so excited!! I went and bought Aviannah a frilly little outfit and some headbands this afternoon, and I can't wait to get her all dolled up!
I am so thankful that I met this woman and I don't think it's a coincidence that our babies ended up beside each other :) Can't wait to share pics from our photoshoot tomorrow!
WOW. Curious to see where the Lord will take this one. Things like this are NOT a coincidence!! The Lord is just blessing your socks off. So awesome. I love it! :)
ReplyDeleteMandy is an amazing woman! You will likely fall in love with her (if you haven't already) and her work after just a few minutes of time with her! She was such a blessing to us when we were in Las Vegas!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to chime in and confirm what Vanessa said. We LOVE Mandy!! Enjoy your photo shoot and getting to know Mandy. =)
