I am an Aunt!!!!!
My sister had her baby girl yesterday at about 4:30 p.m.
She is a beautiful beautiful baby.....
her name is Annalise Faith Sackreiter
she weighs 5 lbs. 10 oz.
18 1/2 inches long.
I would like to take the time to ask all of you to keep my new niece and her mother in your thoughts and prayers....
My sister is more than likely going home tomorrow, but unfortunately she wont be able to take Annalise with her.
Annalise's lungs aren't fully developed just yet, so she is getting some assistance....it could be anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks.....but I know in my heart that she will be just fine.
My sister is a stronger woman than I could ever be....not but 9 months ago I had my little miracle....to see something so tiny and precious with all these tubes and things coming in and out everywhere just breaks my heart, but I thank the Lord above that He gives the doctors and nurses the knowledge and technology to keep Annalise breathing. My sister knows just like all mothers "know" about the health of their babies....it's like this calm feeling that God gives us all so we don't panic and make things worse than they are. I love you so so very much Jessica Lee, and I am the proudest I have ever been of you....you did a wonderful job and the way you are handling everything amazes me even more....I'm so thankful to have you for my sister and my best friend....you are not only an amazing aunt, but now a wonderful new mother....your gonna be so great! I love you and can't wait for the BOTH of you to be home......
lots and lots of hugs and kisses....
