You should be able to post a photo by clicking on the icon in the reply window that looks like a little tree, then insert the web address of the picture (yes, you'll have to upload your picture to the web somewhere. Yahoo, among other sites, has such a free service.)

A little boy ran into the house crying, "A car hit Eddy's dog, hit him right in the ass!"
His mom said, "No, you, sweetheart, you mean rectum."
Boy said, "Rectum?? Almost killed him!"

I did just find this, which is kind of cool, you can see what the weather is like outside. Appears to be a live webcam at Lake Hills (which seems to be at Mullen Elementary) operated by MCAS.

Two blonds are walking through the forest and they come upon a set of tracks. The first blond looks down and says, "Those are bear tracks." The second blond says, "No they're not, they're deer tracks."
They both got hit by the train.

A mushroom walks into a bar. The bartender says, "We don't serve your kind here." The mushroom says, "Why not? I'm a fungi?" (fun guy)

Well there is good news, and not-so-good news for us.

First off is the good news.

Alexis Christine Gresham, the latest addition to our family was born 12-27 at 12:27 am. She was 7 pounds even, and 19 inches even. She even came in with a head full of hair.

The not-so-good news is that she has had a couple of issues that worried the staff at St Anthony's so they wanted to send her to a facility that actually had a neo-natal intensive care unit, who specialized more in patients her size. They sent her over too Valpo/Porter Memorial Hospital where she has been the last couple of days. The great staff at our hospital caught her quit breathing twice in her first morning, which isn't all that uncommon. For those that don't know, babies come into this world a totally clean slate. They have no idea how to do things that we take for granted, like breathing, regulating temperature, eating etc. Well she stopped breathing a couple of times, and also seemed to have some circulation problems, as one of her arms turned a little blue. The doctors and staff at Porter-Memorial have been great as well. They have done a bunch of tests to rule out what could be wrong, and so far all the tests have come back with good news. It sounds like even if it is a worst case scenario, it will be something that the baby grows out of, so long term it won't affect her a bit.

It has been stressful commuting between MC and Valpo, and deciding how to split time between our two young children. Madison, our oldest, just turned two in November, and while extremely smart and perseptive, probably isn't ready to see her baby sister hooked up to IVs and wires, so she has stayed at home, while being watched by aunts and grandparents. I am staying home today with her, while mom goes up to be with the new baby.

Wish us luck, and think of us if you can. Hopefully little Alexis will be getting full clearance to go home soon, and this will all be done.

How was her L/S ratio? Heart chambers ok? I will pray for your family with hopes that all is well. Beautiful name, too.

Baby Alexis is coming home today with a clean bill of health! Pretty much all of her problems fixed themselves, which is the best news of all.

Yeah!!! I've been praying for her, too. Glad to know that our prayers were answered and God is looking out for you two and your little one.

On a side note;

SSder and Bioteach: Amanda told me to tell you congrats! She's very happy for you guys, but said that now you need to try for a boy.
