Maylee has arrived!!!

Our Little Miracle came EARLY!

Here she is compared to my hand.
Weight: 3lbs 11oz 
Height: 15.75 inches
Time of Birth: 12:51PM Arizona time



She is doing great, she is even taking a passy.


I will let Megan post about how and why she came so early, but suffice it to say we weren't ready for her to come at only 32 weeks 6 days. They were most concerned about how her lungs would be, but she is doing great and is NOT on oxygen or a ventilator. We are hoping the doctors will let her eat and that she won't have to have a feeding tube. Our biggest hurdles are yet to come, but we are hopeful that she will be home in a couple of weeks. I am happy to be a daddy of a sweet little baby girl!!!
