Welcome Reese Marie Brinker


It's a day we have been waiting for a long time.. but after 38 weeks and 4 days Eileen gave birth to a beautiful baby girl... weighing in at a substantial 8 pounds 9 ounces. I was honored to be there for her birth. Reese had a bit of a tough entry into the world, though, because her shoulders were transverse and the doctor had some difficulty getting her out. As a result, she ended up in the Intensive Care Nursery with some nerve damage that is affecting her respiratory system. We are praying hard that Reese will recover on her own (without surgery) and will soon be home with her proud parents and big sis, Mia Grace. In the meantime, the doctors and nurses are monitoring her and she is being well cared for in the hospital. Please continue to keep them in your prayers.
