OUR LITTLE BLESSING

Phillip and I have been in awe of Ella Leigh since the day she was born.  God's gift of a precious baby is the most wonderful event you will ever experience.  We had been anticipating Ella Leigh's arrival by preparing the nursery, feeling her kick, and watching her move across my belly; yet, the moment you see that precious little face, you are amazed!  Our awesome God has created this beautiful child and blessed us as her parents.  We stand in awe of God's creations.  May God give us the wisdom and patience to raise Ella Leigh in his likeness.  May we set examples for her each day that help her grow spiritually, emotionally, and physically.  We are so excited about our new life as a family of three!  We don't take this step lightly, but responsibly and with God's help may we be the parents that he wants us to be.  We pray that God blesses you and your family.

Blessings

Blessings come in many shapes,
In sizes large and small,
But a brand new little baby
is the sweetest of them all.

Ella Leigh's 2 week Check-Up

               

Yesterday, Ella Leigh had her 2 week check-up with Dr.Landon B. Pendegrass.  We were so blessed that Dr. Pendegrass said she looked very healthy.  We realize that a healthy child is a blessing from God.

Ella Leigh had weighed 6 lbs. 2 oz. at birth, and yesterday she weighed 6 lbs. 14 oz.  So, it certainly seems that Momma's milk is agreeing with her!  She seemed very relaxed at her check-up, although she doesn't like to take her clothes on and off.  Dr. Pendegrass said her reflexes were great, and she seemed very alert and healthy.  Praise God.

We feel very comfortable with the Pediatric Consultants, Inc. of Memphis, TN.

GOOD HEALTH STARTS AT HOME

parents are a child’s best role models. So, the best place for kids to learn healthy habits is at home. Each day, you can do little things that can affect your child’s health in a big way.

ELLA LEIGH JORDAN'S NURSERY

We thought that we would share some pics of Ella Leigh's nursery with you.

We had fun decorating her nursery, and Ella Leigh was blessed to receive so

many wonderful gifts from family and friends. Thank you all! We want you all

to come visit us and rock Ella Leigh in her pink rocking chair in her nursery!

ELLA LEIGH IS ONE WEEK OLD TODAY!

Ella Leigh is one week old today! She has been such a joy. It seems that she is

growing a little bit everyday. She is certainly being loved. She loves a bath and loves to be swaddled in a blanket to sleep. We love her more than we every imagined. Thank God for sending us this precious blessing.

ELLA LEIGH JORDAN WAS BORN WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8, 2009.

Ella Leigh Jordan was born Wednesday, April 8, 2009 at 5:33 pm. She weighed 6 lbs. 2 0z. She was 19 inches long. It is truly a blessing of God to witness a child being born. She seems very healthy, and Anna is doing well. Phillip is all smiles! What a joy it is to see a precious little baby and what a vivid reminder a birth is to show us how precious life is. At this Easter season, we all are reminded of how Christ died for us, so that we might have abundant life. Children are tuly a gift from God. They are most precious reminder of God's love for us, and how we should be aware of the "simple" things in life.

Ella is truly a little angel and a princess. We are truly blessed to have a healthy child. Phillip and I are so happy that she is a BIG part of our lives, and we are so excited about the weeks and months and years ahead. We love you all!

ELLA LEIGH IS COMING!!!

Anna had a routine check up yesterday, Tuesday, with Dr. Tinker. After evaluating Anna, Dr. Tinker, decided to send her to Labor and Delivery, due to her blood pressure being elevated and a lot of fluid retention. She spent the night in Labor and Delivery last night for them to monitor Ella Leigh and Anna's blood pressure. Her sweet sister, Katie, spent the night with her.
It most 10 a.m. on Wednesday morning, April 8, and we are waiting on Miss Ella Leigh to arrive. It is probably going to be a long day. Ella Leigh and Anna both are doing well; although, Ella Leigh is very high up and doesn't seem to want to drop in order for her get into the birth canal. So, we will post on the blog to let everyone know what is going on. The doctor has told us that Ella Leigh will be born today, April 8. By the way, tomorrow, April 9, is Anna's 27th birthday! We pray that Anna and Ella Leigh will do well and be be healthy.
Love to all! Terri :) :) :)
