I don’t have any pictures to add of our new little one because she’s been in NICU since about 3pm yesterday.  Because she was so early, she is having a few complications, but hopefully nothing major.  Her blood-sugar level was really low, and her oxygen levels were not great either.  She was having to work very hard to breathe.  I haven’t been able to visit down there yet, but Brian went once.  Since then, they closed off the Unit to visitors because there was another baby in critical condition.  Maybe we’ll get some better news tomorrow.

On another note: my grandfather was air-lifted from Cullman to UAB this afternoon due to a massive hemorrhage or stroke.  The doctors are unsure what happened, but he is unresponsive so far.  Please keep him in your prayers too.

Eleanor Claire Mauter, “Ellie”, was born on May 2, 2010 at 1:27PM.  She is 5lbs 8oz and 19 inches long.  Mommy and Ellie are doing great!  

Janie woke up about three hours ago and now we’re at Brookwood in Labor and Delivery 1.  She’s at 0 station, 90% effaced and 2cm dilated.  We’re only 35 weeks and 5 days along, but the doctor said they won’t stop labor.

Sam is staying with the babysitter for the moment.  Stay tuned.

Samantha Kate is here! She arrived at 1:44PM on October 17, 2007. She weighed 6 pounds and 14 ounces and is 19 5/8 inches long. She’s a beautiful little girl and we are so happy to have her. Please stop by to visit. We should be home by Friday, but until then you can find us in Room 211 at Brookwood.
