Woman without arms, legs becomes a mom

Josette Ulibarri was just like any other mother preparing to leave the hospital with her first child. She was happy to be going home, a little bit nervous and glad her mother will be there to help.

The only thing that makes Ulibarri different is that she has no arms and no legs, a condition she was born with.

Her little girl, Jaira Preciousa Faith Barrios, was born Thursday at Phoenix baptist Hospital weighing 5 pounds, 8 ounces and is the picture of good health.

"She is amazing," Ulibarri said. "She was everything we dreamed of. She was our gift from God."

Ulibarri is a quiet woman of deep faith who seemed uncomfortable with the attention from the media and the nearly constant check-ins from hospital staff who were happy for her personally and interested in her medically.

God is great!!!
