She is 6lbs. 8oz of perfection! Thanks to all of you as well for the prayers for our daughter Bre who was again in the hospital fighting a septic kidney infection. She is better and the baby is also doing much better ( Maya has severe acid reflux and they have put her on medicine) It has been a bit of a rough go for all of us , but I am hopeful we are on the mend now.
