Maryellen is still in the NICU, but she is doing much better.  They are hoping that she will be able to go home tomorrow.  Please continue to keep them in your prayers though that the remaining tests come back with good results and that when they go home they are able to have a smooth transition.

I have not been able to hold her yet, but my parents were able to last night, so I can't wait for my next trip up so I can get my hands on that sweet girl!

It's a GIRL!

I am now the proud Auntie of Maryellen Elizabeth!  She was born today at 3:07pm weighing 6 pounds, 11 ounces and she is 20 1/4 inches long.  She is beautiful!  Pictures will be coming!

Please keep her and my sister, Marlene, and her husband, Mark, in your prayers.  Maryellen is in the NICU with fluid in her lungs.  Please pray that this is able to be resolved quickly and easily.  Please also pray for peace for Marlene and Mark as they go through this.

Maryellen is a special girl!  She is named after 2 of her grandmothers.  One of Marlene's (and mine!)and one of Mark's grandmothers were named Mary Ellen.  Elizabeth is our Mom's middle name and our Mom's grandmother's middle name.

Ps.  I have started quite a few posts, and have yet to finish them, but I promise they are coming.  I know tomorrow is Logan's 8 month birthday and I never posted his 7 month post, but I will!  I have to finish it all this week since I start school a week from Monday.  Aaaahhh!!
