Well, it has been a pretty tough week.
Saturday, Jennifer went into pre-term labor. We originally went to the hospital with a bladder infection or possible kidney stone. After they checked her the nurse said Jennifer was 4-5 cm dialated and in preterm labor. They gave Jennifer multiple medications to stop the contractions and they succeeded. Dispite all of their effort Jennifer started contracting again Tuesday evening, and Hannah had to be delivered. From everyone's best guess, this seemed to be caused by either a bladder infection, uterine infection, or some other infection but noone knows for sure.
Hannah Elyse Price was born on March 22, 2005 weighing in at 2 lbs 3 ozs and measuring 13 3/4 inches. She was able to breathe without a ventilator for about 18 hours after she was born, which the doctor and nurses said was very good. She was then put on the ventilator because she was just getting too tired. But when we left the hospital today Hannah was doing really good, and the neonatologist said that she has exceeded all of his expectations. We are just going to keep praying that Hannah continues to grow and stay healthy.

Jennifer and Marcus,
Welcome to the world of parenting! Hannah Elyse is a beautiful miracle and we are so glad that she is doing well. The pictures are so cute of your little doll. We will pray for her continued good health as she grows to achieve the weight limit required for her to go home with you. That's when the real fun begins!
