Our Second Breath of Heaven

April 2, 2013 just after 4:30 p.m., Miss Gentry arrived from heaven into the arms of her Mom and Dad in Greenville.  She is our second breath from heaven in 14 months following big sister, Nolynn!  She weighed in at 8.3 lbs, and was 19.5" long.  

We prayed and waited for her all these months and now she is here!  A slight scare in the evening as they discovered she had some fluid in her lungs that should have been aspirated at birth.  Her breathing rate was too high to allow her to eat because of the fluid so after inserting a feeding tube she started to aspirate some of the fluid and we are hoping by Thursday she will be cleared to have the tube removed and go home with her parents.  

We are absolutely bowled over by God's grace and gift of Gentry!  We thank you Father for this precious gift and simply ask that You receive all glory and honor from her birth and life to come.  Help us to be worthy parents and grandparents as we raise her in Your love!
