Oakely Elissa Mae Irvin due 3-12-2009

WE have created this blog to keep family and friends updated on our expected baby girl. We found out at our 17 week ultra sound on October 3,2008 that we were having a beutiful little girl.

already having 3 wonderful boys we are so excited. The joy was suddenly shadowed with fear when the doctor came in and told us that they thought that our little girl had CDH (congenital Diaphragmactic Hernia) we had no clue what this was. He then told us that she had about at 20 % servial rate. He sent us home with some fact sheets and told us that he would see us again at 20 weeks to confirm. After leaving the doctors office and getting home I started researching CDH. After reading much information I just cried and cried. I finally realized that If my husband and I didn't have faith and hope how could our little girl survive. I started praying and have been everyday since.
We now know much more about CDH and Oakely is due in 7 weeks. We know that she has a battle ahead of her but we also know that God will get her and us throught this.
