Arabella Nani Ellis was born today at 2:22 pm and to our absolute amazement, she is STILL ALIVE! 5 lbs 8 ounces, 17.5 inches long, she is B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L!!!! Celebrating over 6 hours of life.
After being awake and going for over 38 hours, we are in complete AWE! GOD IS GOOD! And we surrender. Arabella gave us breaths, sounds, crying, EVERYTHING we prayed for!!!!!!!!!!! She is on oxygen but has had levels in the 90-100's majority of the day. Her heart beat is strong, she's got great pink color, SHE IS WITH US!!!!!!!!!!!
We thank you thank you thank you for the texts, voicemails, emails, etc. We are doing well!!!!! We are in love and we give God all the glory and praise His name. Every second is an absolute gift!!

ReplyDeleteWe do not know each other, but our mutual friend directed me to your blog early this morning. My heart has been heavy all day and I have been praying for your constantly. I got on to show my wife your blog from this morning and saw your latest update. Tears of joy came to my eyes. My family and I in Wyoming will continue to pray for you and your family with great anticipation for what great miracle our God has in store for your family. Peace and grace be with you today and in the days, weeks, and months to come.
