Before Lilly’s birth, we posted a collection of pictures that represent the last nine months of Samantha’s pregnancy, starting with the joyful moment when we learned Samantha was pregnant with Lillianne. 

No little girl could have been more wanted than Lillianne Rosemarie. She is a wonderful little girl who I fell in love with the moment I laid eyes on her. These last nine days have had more than their share of heartache and fear, but they also have been some of the best days of my life because I am lucky enough to be the daddy of this little girl.
