Here we go again!

Emily Christine was a bit anxious to be with her family, so it seems.  Due on April 10th, we scheduled our C-Section for March 29th.  Perhaps it was the thought of sharing her birthday with her cousin Lydia, or perhaps it was the competition with her other soon-to-be-born cousin Sarah Ozment.  In either case, Melinda's elevated blood pressure and pre-eclamptic symptoms caused doctors to perform the necessary operation several days earlier.

Emily is healthy, beautiful, and has taken to feeding very well.  We expect to be home from Saint Francis Hospital by Thursday night or Friday morning.  

Thank You!

Praise God for another miracle of his grace!  Emily is beautiful and we are excited to see the unfolding of this new life day-by-day.  Her peaceful spirit is welcome into our home, as God's hand is truly on her.  Thank you, Jesus, for your continued faithfulness and peace that you bring in both the daily living, and in spectacular displays of your workmanship, such as Emily.

Thank you to all the friends and family who have supported us through another pregnancy and who continue to support us as we strive to raise a godly household.
