New Addition

My cousin, Jon, and his wife, Cindy, had a sweet baby girl last night!

Isabella Grace was born at 6:45 pm. She weighed 8 lbs 10 oz and was 21 1/2 inches long.

There were a few complications during the labor/delivery that reminded us to thank God for the miracle of life. Cindy and Bella are doing ok (as of last night), but are being held for a few days for observation. The family in the waiting room was disappointed that Bella was taken to the NICU (where we couldn't even see her thru a window), but are so thankful that she and Cindy are alive and healthy! We're hoping that Jon will get to take a picture today to send to everyone.

Congrats Jon & Cindy! We love you!

**EDITED**
Just got an email from Jon. Bella is suffering from Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension and will have to be in the NICU 7-10 days. Cindy should get to go home in another 48 hours, but she hasn't gotten to see Bella yet. Please keep them in your prayers.
