BABY!!!!!

I am writing this a couple days late because I was waiting for Megan to be able to post this but she doesn't have the time so I will update everyone. Our darling baby girl was born Saturday evening at 9:47 PM!!! Her name is Karissa Gabrielle Thorp. She weighed 5 lbs, 8 oz. and was 19 inches long. A tiny little girl!! Megan had a very quick and smooth delivery so we are very thankful for that. Since her birth, Karissa struggled to breastfeed and then got jaundice. We have been going to the dr every day to get the level checked. To compound the problem, her temperature won't stay up where it needs to be. Because of these things, we are having to go to the hospital to get the jaundice level checked and then to the dr to check weight and temp so being out all the time isn't helping things to get better. Karissa has started to feed much better since Megan's milk came in so hopefully that will help get everything where it needs to be. Please pray for her and us. Here are a few pictures of her and I have to say, she is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen!!!

GOD IS SO GOOD TO GIVE US TWO, BEAUTIFUL BABY GRANDDAUGHTERS THIS FALL. I NEVER IMAGINED WHAT A THRILL AND JOY IT IS TO HAVE THEM BORN INTO OUR FAMILY. THE EVEN GREATER JOY IS TO KNOW THAT THEY WERE BORN TO PARENTS WHO WILL LOVE AND PROTECT THEM.
