There are/were 4 women in my immediate circle expecting babies (Jennifer, Melissa, Mindy, & Leanne). Now we are down to three! Leanne had an early arrival of Mary Alexis around 3:44am on Memorial Day. Leanne had been assigned bed rest for the balance of her pregnancy (she was due in July) but she'd have none of that. Alexis weighed in at 3lbs 13oz and is 17in long with jet black hair. She is tiny but doing really well. She will have to be in the hospital for a while to gain a little weight so they can put her is the car seat (they don't make them that small). She has lots of wires and leads attached to her tiny body to be sure everything goes well. Heath calls her his "matchbox" baby. She will almost fit in your shirt pocket.
The nurses I met were knowledgable and obviously called to their jobs. There were a lot of sick babies in the intensive care unit when I visited. Heath shared with me that he and Leanne had a lot to be thankful for. McKenzie is ready to bring her baby sister home and have a tea party. Granny would be so proud.
