6 pounds 11 ounces and 19.5 inches long

At 4:10 this morning our little Gracelyn decided to come to our family. She is BEAUTIFUL! She was6 pounds 11 ounces and 19.5 inches long. She has a lot of dark brown hair. We had an amazing delivery.

Everything went as planned, we had one little bump in the road where the contractions were too strong

and close together and the had to administer some drugs to slow them down because her heart rate was

dropping. They gave it two hours and everything was ready to go. I feel very blessed. I was told that

many women would wish they could have such an easy delivery. Jeff was right there as she came out

and was able to cut the umbilical cord. They took her from us very quickly and it took about and hour

and a half to get her stable, but she is doing GREAT! She has several IV lines, some going through her

umbilical cord and some in her arms. She has been breathing room air since she was born. She is stable

enough that she didn't need to be intubated nor is she using oxygen. I am feeling GREAT and was able to

go and see her in the NICU 2 hours after she was born. Right now we are waiting for them to get clearance

to take her over to Primary's. They told us we would be able to walk over with her when she goes. We

appreciate all the love and prayers and ask that the prayers continue on her behalf as they study her heart

to see what needs to be done. We love you all!
