DUNWOODY, Ga. – Cindy and Bob Baima of Dunwoody, Georgia, finally have their happy-ever-after.
5-year old Nathan., and 3-year old Abigail.
And, upstairs, a reminder of what they went through to get here.
A pink teddy bear.
“There might be times I’m having a rough day and find that I just need the comfort of holding the bear,” says Cindy Baima.
The bear marks the beginning, the brief life of their first born.
In 2009, after two years of trying to get pregnant, the Baimas learned they were expecting.
“It was just such an answer to prayer,” says Cindy Baima. “We were so very, very excited.”
But halfway through the pregnancy, an ultrasound showed the baby, a girl they named Reagan Marie, had Trisomy 18, a rare genetic disease that causes severe birth defects. Click here for more information.
