Isabella Grace

Little Isabella (Bella) Grace is here. She was born at 6:12 this morning and weighs 2lbs 13oz. and is 15 inches long. Mom and baby are doing fine. Isabella has already been taken to Cooks in the NICU and Robyn is still at Harris Downtown. Both still need to be kept in our prayers as they try to stabalize. Robyn has some fluid on her lungs and is struggling to breath a little. Her blood pressure has gone back up with all of the trauma this morning but is ok. Isabella is breathing with the help of a CPAP which just keeps her lungs open so air can come in and out easier. She fusses when she is messed with by the nurses which is a great sign that she is alert and responsive.

They continue to ask for your prayers and to hold off on visitors.

Oh Robyn & Grant, I love the name Bella!! The fact that she's annoyed with the nurses is such a good sign. I'm so glad she's that responsive. Now Robyn, please rest, get your blood pressure down & we'll all wrap our arms around your little family & pray for you. We love you all!
