Happy Birthday Miss Ellie Grace!!!!!!

Matt and Ab have had an exciting 24 hours!!!  Wow!  Their fourth babe, Ellie Grace Sogard, arrived early this morning!  She was a good month early and weighs 4 pounds, 7 ounces and is almost 18 inches long.  She has dark hair, the little Sogard nose and is tiny tiny.  No pictures yet but I will be sure to post many when we have them!!!  Her arrival was sudden and a bit scary but things seem to be okay so far and we are all so very thankful.  GOD IS GOOD!!!!!

Abbie went in for her 36 week appointment yesterday afternoon as normal and learned Ellie wasn't growing as she should.  The safe and only thing to do was enduce labor and get their baby girl out right away.  Ab was able to do things on her own after they broke her water and Ellie arrived at 5:00 this morning!  She is currently in the NICU, getting a little help breathing and growing stronger and stronger every minute!  They are hopeful she will graduate to the regular nursery sometime tomorrow.

More updates to come!  Thanks for keeping Matt and Ab, Kate, Luke, Daniel and Ellie (and her sweet little lungs) in your thoughts and prayers!  God is great and we are so so excited to have another beautiful little niece!!!!!!
