Thanks for all the well wishes. We're off to the hospital now. I'll update with good news either later today or tonight. It promises to be a long day. Sleep was difficult for both of us last night, especially Momma.

Been a long day folks. PLease forgive spelling and typing.

Hanna Kathleen was born at 8:40am. She weighed 4lbs and 15oz, the exact same weight as her big brother, and is 17 1/2" long. SHe has had some diffuculties breathing and has been in NICU all day. The docs say that she has fluid in her lungs. They say that this is very common in babies born through c-section and with low gestational weight. The babies usually work it out themselves. It can take anywhere from 24 - 72 hours. It's different for each kid and there are no norms.

On the plus side. Her oxygenation is good and she has not needed oxygen. Her BP and heart are strong. SHe has all digits right where they ought to be. There is no infections in the lungs. This kid has been stuck with all kinds and sizes of needles, poked and prodded in almost every locatin, had a chest x-ray, an IV in her little head, and she has come through it all like a little trooper. Most important She is alive, healthy, receiving terrific care, and she is BEAUTIFUL!!!

I have a feeling tomorrow will bring good things. Today brought the best thing, my daughter.

Congratulations! Be sure to give us progress reports on Hanna when you have time. You’re going to be busy for a while so we’ll understand if the reports don’t come as fast as we’d like.

May the Lord continue to bless you and your family,
Chas.
