40 weeks & counting!

Sorry we're so late, but we made it halfway through week 40 before Alexis decided it was time to come. Alexis Gayle Willett was born via emergency C-section at 11:05 pm on July 15, 2013. She weighed 6 lbs 0 oz and 20 1/2 inches...she is our little miracle baby straight from God. Why you may ask? Alexis decided to make her entrance into this world with the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck 5 times, she had no heart beat or breathing on her own until 25 minutes later they finally got it started and was given a 50% chance of survival. She got transported immediately to NICU at Providence Memorial where she was put on a cool cap, ventilator, and other life saving measures. 9 days later: we are off the ventilator, no more cool cap, learning to drink out of a bottle, making cooing noises and being feisty. God sure works in miraculous ways and literally bringing so many people to their knees in prayer for our sweet baby! Words can not express how much all the love, prayers, and support Roger, Alexis, and I have received and how very much it means to us. We know we still have a road ahead of us for recovery but knowing she has come so far in such a short time has really given us the hope we needed! Please keep the prayers coming for us! I will be back next week with more!
