Day Three: Hallie Lynn Green

First, let me say that the Hope for Hallie page is murdering us (in a great way). We can't believe how many people are praying for Hallie (and us). We cannot believe the love we're getting from people we know, and the hundreds/thousands that we do not. Thank you.

None of these moments were promised to us, and our hope for Hallie is that we would get to meet her. Mission accomplished. Big time. We are spending some of the sweetest moments with Hallie...all with our family here, too. We didn't plan on the social media community becoming family, too. But you guys are blowing us away with the photos, comments, texts, and notes.

We're treasuring each day we have with her.

Here are a few moments that captured her third birth day:

And here is a quick, peaceful (minus Farrah in the background) few moments of Hallie's life:

I know you don't know me and my family but ater reading and keeping up with your daily blogs, my heart is so overwhelmed with emotions for your family. You are so strong, stronger than I think I could ever be. Your family is an inspiration to me and my family. We will continue to pray for you and your sweet sweet baby girl(by the way my daughter shares the same name and I think it's beautiful!) Thank you for sharing your story with us and keeping us updated.

Just so happy for y'all. And so full of gratitude for Hallie's life.

Bless Katie's heart! I know that sweet mama doesn't want to miss a second, but those drugs they give you with a c-section will wear a girl out!! Y'all hang in there.

Thanks for the update...I'm checking religiously!

Such a beautiful picture of Kate and Hallie- so much love- the epitome of a mother's unconditional love for her child.

Thank you for sharing sweet Hallie as you have. It is a time of year when it is good to be reminded of what real love and life are about.

God bless you.

God is so good !!! You and Chris are amazingly strong and your journey is touching lives everywhere. I have only met you a couple of times with my daughter (Lauren Gaillard) but I have been praying for you since Day 1. Thank you so much for allowing us to be part of your lives and journey with Hallie. What a BEAUTIFUL gift from above...who is doing more to touch lives than many of us do in a lifetime. Blessings and prayers everyday ! Love you all.

There's nothing like seeing and hearing the breath of life. Thank you for allowing us inside of such intimate moments.

Pam said...

Even though we have never met, we are brothers and sisters in Christ. So I pray daily for my new family, the Greens, asking for God's strength and care while praising Him from whom all blessings flow. Thank you for being such a testimony to the love and power of God. Little Hallie is a precious miracle and, in the midst of her birth, your family is teaching so many about what it means to have a living relationship with God. God bless your sweet family.

God is so good.
Continuing to pray- both in thanksgiving AND petition- for your family.

I know we've never met but I heard about your story via Facebook and have spent hours over the last 2 days on your blog and others like yours to learn more. I am Jewish but still believe in the goodness of God and all of his glory. I pray that he stays with you closely and holds onto you tightly. I pray that he watches over your family and your amazing little girl to never cause any more physical pain. Please know that we are all here for you, even if you don't know us.

Thank you so much for sharing such beautiful moments. The picture of Katie looking down at her angel is the most precious and touching photo I have ever seen - pure love. There is not a better kind. I love watching God's work through Hallie. Thank you Green family for sharing this whole experience with the world. We have all been touched by your beautiful angel. Much, much love and plenty of prayers still coming your way.
