We are nearly a week into being home as a family and things are going well at home.

Ella is adjusting to life outside the hospital and has been exercising her lungs to let us know how she feels about things. The nights have been long and mostly sleepless but we're learning how to cope. In between the crying and episodes of being wide awake in the middle of the night we've enjoyed our time getting to know Ella.

Heidi is also doing well and feels more like herself now than she did the last few days of the pregnancy. We've also managed to get out for a few walks around the neighborhood the past couple days which has been a welcome change from sitting in hospital beds.

Thanks again for your kind words, acts of kindness, and prayer support. It's been quite the journey we didn't expect to find ourselves on and we appreciate the support we've received from friends and family during this time.

Love,
Paul, Heidi and Baby Ella
