Baby Mariella

Update: 

On September 6 we went in for an our weekly appointment and was told my blood pressure was a bit high and needed to go to the hospital that Mariella would be arriving soon! After being in labor for more than 20 hours My true warrior Mariella was born on September 7th at 6 lbs. 18 inches. My miracle girl as I call her was with us 28 hours and showed us how to be strong. How not to quit! 

So full of personality and very vocal. Doing things I never imagined I would get to see her doing. She ate, we got to change her diapers and created so many memories together as a family and we are so blessed to have had her surrounded by so much love from family and friends. 

My name is Yessica and I am currently 20 weeks pregnant with a beautiful baby girl. Very early in the pregnancy we were given the diagnosis of Anencephaly. Making her “not compatible with life”. In 2017 I gave birth to my Gabriella who also had anencephaly. To honor both of our daughters we would like to donate a Caring Cradle to the hospital where we will deliver. The cradle will allow us to keep her with us a little longer before we have to say our final goodbye. We would love to count with your help honoring our daughters and help other parents who will get to spend a little more time with their precious baby.
