Welcome to Elena Marie




















This weekend was monumental and I think there has been a breakthrough. I was able to hold Elena for the first time yesterday and today (Andrew did today too). Supposedly she responded to my touch because her numbers yesterday (blood gas) were good and the doctors were trying to figure out why. The only thing they could come up with was that she had mommy time (or so I'd like to think).

Well I present to you- Elena Marie Gefell. There she is. Who do you think she looks like? I say a mix.

  9. Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! Elena is absolutely precious. Johanna is always keeping us Clark women updated but it so nice to finally see the little one! I'm so happy she is stable and strong. She is your miracle. And...don't forget if you get sick of BBQ's and hospital food me and Abdul are just 3 train stops away and less than a $10 cab ride away.

    Can't wait to see more pics!
