Hannah

We have a beautiful new addition to our family!

Hannah Lucille
born Saturday, November 27, 2010
2:48 PM
7 lbs. 10 oz. - 20 in.

Hannah is a very cute little girl. She was born 20 days before her due date. It came as a bit of a surprise, but I was ready to be done being pregnant so it was welcome! I think she looks most like Briton - they have some very similar expressions. She is doing well. Her breathing was a little quick and labored so they took her into the nursery and did an x-ray yesterday evening. It looks like she does have some fluids in her lungs/possible infection so she gets to stay in the nursery on a bit of oxygen and is receiving antibiotics in case of pneumonia. Prayers in her behalf are welcome. We're confident she'll recover well. Here are some pictures:




Here she is in the nursery with the oxygen. This hospital does not have a NICU. If the staff here decided she needed a bit of additional care she could easily be transferred to a larger hospital with a NICU less than 10 minutes away. (She also has an IV in her right arm for the antibiotics.)

This is right after the kids saw their sister through the window. They were very excited! The last picture is one that one of the kids took through the window.

I can already tell she is beautiful. I'm so glad you called so I can start praying for her right away. I am sure she is going to do just fine, but I'm so sorry you have to worry in the meantime. I hate that I'm out of town right now. But please, please, PLEASE call me for anything, even at 3:00 in the morning. You know I'll be mad at you if you don't...

We love you guys!
