Quick Update

As many of you already know Kaitlyn came a little earlier than expected. We went in for a sonogram on Wednesday and found our amniotic fluids were very low and we needed to have her that night. So we decided to have a c-section and get her out as soon as we could. She was born at 8:46 p.m. and weighed 5 pounds 7 ounces. She was 17 and a 1/2 inches long. She's just beautiful.

Kaitlyn is in the NICU now. She is breathing on her own which is such a blessing. She does have a feeding tube and an I.V., but is slowly but surely beginning to keep food down. We are going to try to feed her today at 2:00 with some milk I have pumped in the hospital room. Hopefully she'll keep up all the progress and get to come home soon. Cody and I are going home sometime today...well, being discharged anyway. We're going to take everything home and then come back up to be with our sweet little angel.

Thank you for all the support and prayers we have already received. Please continue to pray for all of Kaitlyn's doctors and nurses and their knowledge and help. Keep praying for Kaitlyn's recovery as well - she's a tough one!

I'll update more later. Just know that she's perfect!
