This morning Liss started having contractions again, then bleeding, and by noon we decided to head to the hospital. Within an hour, our 4 pound, 1 ounce bundle of joy came screaming into the world! She is 7 weeks early and tiny, but was not to be deterred. Kristen is currently in the special care nursery and will probably be in the hospital for a couple of weeks, so your prayers are certainly welcomed. Liss sends her love to everyone and her thanks for praying for her after this past weekend (though you were supposed to pray for the baby to wait!)
I want to offer my thanks as well for all of your prayers and encouragement.
