In Memory of Annabelle Rose Fromm

In October of 2009 we learned that Steph and Brett were going to have a baby... In February of 2010 we learned that the baby had chromosomal disorder and that most likely she would not survive outside the womb. Steph was told that she could miscarry at any time but she didn't.. she carried that sweet little baby for 32 weeks. Annabelle stopped growing at 24 weeks but she was a little fighter. On Thursday April 29th Stephanie could not feel her move anymore so she went to the doctors to check on the baby. Sadly her heart had stopped so her doctor suggested that she be induced Friday night. When Stephanie got to the hospital she saw that one of her very good friends ( her college roommate) was on duty and was to be her nurse the whole time Steph was there. Baby Annabelle was born on Saturday May 1st at 1:06 p.m. She weighed 1 pound 11 ounces and was 13.2 inches long. We had the most positive beautiful experience ever, Steph was treated like royalty and such love and comfort was given to all of us. she had a wonderful doctor who was so dear and sweet to Stephanie and Brett and to our whole family. This experience has brought our family such joy and comfort. We look forward to seeing our grandbaby one day.
