My heart stopped...
Check out this precious video below. Excuse my voice by the way, but you just can't help but talk baby talk when around a baby!!!
When I saw this precious angel...my heart stopped! She took my breath away. What a perfect example of the Lord's creation! She is beautifully and wonderfully made! Oh my goodness, little Madalynn Kay. I finally got to meet her today and I had a blast. I bought her this rainforest lullaby music thing and she loves it. Natalie Simmons had one just like it for her little boy and it was great. When we opened it up this afternoon and took it out, we turned it on and all of us went into "coma" - it was so relaxing. Literally, yes, my dad was out instantly!!
She is so, so tiny - weighing around 6lbs. Going to her first dr. appt. tomorrow. It's amazing the effect precious little babies, angels really, have on you and your ability to take pictures. I think I took well over 40 or so. But who's counting.
Love her.

Madalynn's first phone call!
Well, not literally, but her picture came to my phone!!! Here are some initial pictures that Wesley (my brother-n-law) sent me...Isn't she cute?
God is good!
Well, I just returned home from Michigan - by the way, still haven't met my new neice!!! I recieved a call this afternoon from my mom asking me to pray for Lizzie. Elizabeth (my sister), just before getting ready to leave the hospital, was rushed was going numb and from the waist down and wasn't able to move her legs. Needless to say, they were all a little concerned. The doctor's at the time had never heard of this but wanted to rule out the worst (blood clot, infection, nerve damage from epidural (sp?) ) etc.
Needless to say, I got on my knees in the hotel bathroom (the only quiet place) and said a prayer. I instantly had peace and knew that He would take care of her. I thanked Him in advance for her healing. I later recieved a call from my mom telling me that the numbness was getting worse. So I prayed again - trusting that the Lord was in control. I just felt helpless, especially being so far away.
Well, God is good, and good all the time. As I was sitting in the airport getting ready to board, I had a message from my mom. The nurses had come into her room to try to see how to make her comfortable and calm her down until the doctor arrived - well, they didn't need to! My mom and dad were in the hall just praying to the Lord for healing - knowing that God loved LIzzie more than anything and He is always one step ahead. As they entered the room, Lizzie mentioned to my dad that she felt like her leg was being massaged and was turning warm. It was God. She instantly sat up, able to move and with the numbness completely gone. Praise Jesus.
Now, I know that your body can go thru a heck of a lot during childbirth, but the neurologist had never seen anything like this. Hmm.
But thank God she is fine - is feeling a little heaviness in her limbs, but the doctor's said that her body is fighting "something" but they thought she would fully recover and sent her and Madalynn home today! Praise Jesus!!!

Come On Down...or Out!!!
My sister Elizabeth is due any minute now! The doctor says if she hasn't had the baby by tomorrow, they will do an induction on Tuesday! Sad thing is, I am in Michigan!!! Boohoo! I am so sad to not be there. But I went and visited her yesterday and had some more "bonding" time. I think she already likes me! It is absolutely amazing - knowing that a little baby is inside her. Quite amazing.
