For nearly 5 years we tried to become pregnant. We went through many fertility tests and we did a lot of praying during our wait. God was with us the entire time always reminding us that He had a plan for us. Infertility is not an easy thing to go through especially when you are young and healthy. We put our faith in God that He would bless us with a child someday. We never lost that hope.
With the help of fertility medication we finally became pregnant and on November 6, 2001 at 2:01 pm, Hannah Olivia Phillis was born!
Weighing 8lbs 5 ounces and 20 inches long!
Me holding Hannah for the first time. I just had a C-section so yes, I look horrible.
We were very excited to have her!
It is so hard to believe how quickly time has passed since she was born. 11 years already? Where has time gone?
Hannah was ready to go to China at 1 year!

Now my sweet, sensitive, outgoing little princess is 11 years old today and we couldn't be more proud of her! She is a happy, smart, funny, sweet, loving, kind, compassionate, outgoing little girl who has a big future ahead of her. She loves Jesus and lives for him every day.
Happy 11th Birthday sweet Hannah Banana!
