Our Baby Girl... 

Miss Audrey Reese Havrilla was born

this morning, December 19th 2010 at 8:14am. Yes, 

she is absolutely too early!  Little stinker!

I was 31 weeks pregnant when she decided 

to join us :)  She came very quickly.

Thankfully we were close to a great hospital

with a large NICU and wonderful staff here

in Birmingham (while here visiting my parents).

 

She is 3lbs 4.6oz and will be living in the NICU

for the next month or so.  

 

 Our sweet Caleb came to visit us this morning

with my parents.  He has NO clue what's going

on and who Audrey is :(  He most likely won't get

to meet her until she's ready to go home in

a month or so.  We show him pictures

and he enjoys that...he likes to see babies.

 She looks so comfy!  They are taking great care

of her.

Considering the circumstances...this has 

been a wonderful experience thus far.

We are so thankful for so many things 

(my parents caring for Caleb and being so

close, all the prayer from friends and family, 

the staff here at the hospital, I could go on)!

God is SO gracious and faithful!  I am so

happy to say that there is a complete peace

in our hearts right now in knowing that God's

plan is ALWAYS greater - even when we

don't understand.  Audrey is already

such a fighter and is actually impressing

the staff.  She's been off oxygen for most 

of the day and may start feeds with specialized

formula in the morning (if she behaves tonight).

We still have a long, uncertain road ahead with

her progression - but it looks very promising

and we are believing a mighty God that

she will do well and come home a 

healthy, little girl!

I will use this site to post updates on her status.

Please feel free to check back often!

Enjoy your week and God Bless!
