I will try to share some more of her/our story in the coming days. Everything has happened so fast we still aren't quite sure which end of our world is up or down.
Alexis Chantel
Born October 6, 2010
Weight 5lbs 14 oz
(exactly what I weighed when I was born, not that that matters)
Alexis is an estimated 6 weeks premature. She is eating well, and seems to be doing truly doing wonderful in every way. She is being kept in Level II care for monitoring because they really don't know how premature she is and how well she will handle her feedings.
Tomorrow the hydration IV will be removed and if everything goes well she will be ready to be fed on demand by late Saturday or Sunday. We are hoping she will be released on Sunday. Currently they are telling us Monday or Tuesday. Please pray with us that this time will be shortened and we will be able to bring her home sooner.
Sleep well my baby love! We can't wait to see you in the morning.
O my goodness! I'm so HAPPY for you all!!! I won't bother you with phone calls, but you must promise to call me when you have a moment and catch me up to date. I know you've waited for a LONG time for this moment! You guys look so happy! Did you pick the name! Love it...your guys deserve it all..I love you! XO
ReplyDeleteI am awed! Remember how you girls always wanted a baby that color? She is darling and I want to snuggle her right now!
ReplyDeleteThe boys will just love her and you will be amazed how that tiny bit of femininity will change the family dynamics.
How happy you must all be! How awed at the provision of our great God! This time - no waiting - just a whirlwind and a baby!!!!
love you guys so much,
Mom Weaver
Thank God for such a blessing!!! We can't wait to see her. Looks like she is already a hand full, literally!! On thing for sure is life has just changed dramatically. Forts will morph into playhouses, the dirt the boys dig while playing with trucks can be made into mud pies, LeAnn now has someone in the house she can girl talk to, Duane will find out what it's like to be held captive by someone smaller than himself and the boys have just had their space invaded :) An awesome new chapter in your Adventure Story!!! Congratulation guys!!

ReplyDeleteI cannot think of any PARENTS more worthy of this than you and your husband. You are two of the most loving and sweet people I have ever met! I too, know through Aubrey how much this means to you.
My prayers are with you as you begin this new journey of LOVE.
God bless you for reaching out to others, giving your hearts and serving the LORD!
