Announcing Rachel Kamryn MacPherson!

This is Rachel after getting cleaned up and placed in her crib.

Here she is just after being weighed and is a whopping 6 lbs 9 oz and is 19 inches long.

Here is mom with Rachel shortly after birth. What a cutie (I mean the baby).

Well, Rachel Kamryn MacPherson is here. She was slow in coming but once she had it in her head to come out it was two pushes and she was here. Being a 36 week old preemie, she is having issues with her lungs. She has been diagnosed with Resperatory Distress Syndrome and has been placed on CPAP to make it easier for her to breath. An average baby takes 40-50 breaths per minute and she was taking 80. She was transfered to a neo natal unit about an hour away (mommy's having a hard time being seperated), but I talked with the MD today and she is doing much better and is relaxed and comfortable. Now we will pray that all will continue to go well and she will get to come home in a timely manner. We ask for your prayers as well and want to thank all for the help they have given us. Hope all is well with your families.

Ryan, Emily and Kids.
