Welcome to my "Miracles" page!!! This page is dedicated to my 8 year old daughter, Stormy. For she is truly a miracle.


First of all, I want to say, "Thanks to My Heavenly Father Above for allowing Stormy to bless my life". I was 25 years old when I found out that I was pregnant with her. I will never forget the day I told Pat, my husband. We were so happy! We had already bought a little dress for her to wear home about 6 months pryor to that because I had taken a pregnancy test and it had shown up positive, so Pat & I headed to Wal-mart to buy her something to wear home from the hospital. We just knew it was going to be a girl! But it was a false alarm. But that was ok because we knew that God would bless us soon. So about 6 months later, I took another pregnancy test and it showed up positive again. Well we made an appointment with my gynecologist. He confirmed what we longed to hear. I was pregnant!! About 6 weeks along. So he was listening, with his stethescope for the heartbeat and he had a concerned look on his face. He said, "That's funny, there should be a strong heartbeat at 6 weeks along but I don't hear one". So he ordered a sonogram. I was there by myself when all this was going on, Pat was at work. He told me to call him as soon as I left the doctors office. Well, the sonogram didn't show a heartbeat either. My doctor asked me if I had been feeling well for the past few weeks and I told him that I couldn't have felt better. So he said, "Well, I don't think the baby is alive because we should be able to hear a strong heartbeat. So I'm going to have you to come to the hospital tomorrow at 6:00 a.m. and have a DNC performed. Your body isn't allowing you to miscarry this fetus". I was devastated!!! All I could think about was "why me"? I just couldn't believe what was happening. So I went to Pat's work to tell him the bad news. Like me, he was devastated. We called everyone to tell them about it. We also prayed about it!! The next morning arrived. We headed to the hospital. Pat had already made up his mind that he wanted to have another sonogram done just to make sure. When we mentioned this to the doctor, he said, "You're just wasting your time and besides, since I didn't recommend the sonogram, the insurance won't pay, you'll have to pay out of your own pocket". We didn't care!! We wanted another sonogram. The person who was performing the sonogram was filling in for the person who normally did them. She started the precedure. She had a surprised look on her face and said, "Don't get your hopes up, but if I were ya'll, I wouldn't have this DNC done because I thought I saw some movement. But it may be a muscle flinching"!! We were so excited!! She told the doctor and he came into my room and he had a shocked look on his face. He told us this has only happened once before and he couldn't believe it. He was telling us how sorry he was. He also warned us not to get our hopes up because there was still no heartbeat. He wanted me to come back in one week to his office and have another sonogram performed and we would go from there. Well, you guessed it!!! We prayed like we have never prayed before! I think we had everyone we know praying for us. I also think that was the longest week lf my life. Finally, the day came and we headed to the doctors office. They took me to the room to do the sonogram. I was so nervous!!! Only God could perform what was going to happen next. I was lying there waiting to hear the sound of a little horse galloping in my stomach, and to my surprise, I heard it!! Pat was right there beside me and we both started to cry. It was a miracle!!! My baby was alive!!! Stormy Taylor Payne was born on Tuesday, December 13, 1994. And here I am telling about it 8 years later. I know you are wondering if we stayed with the same doctor. The answer is YES, we did. I would't have had it any other way. Alot of people have said, "You could have sued him for doing what he did". But I just thank God for allowing this doctor to be there for me and being a great doctor while he was delivering Stormy. Please, new moms, let this be a lesson to you. Don't believe a sonogram if there is no heartbeat and you have been feeling fine. Because if I had, I wouldn't have my little Angel with me today!! Thank You God!!!
