Absolutely gorgeous!!

Drew and I saw his sister and my granddaughter this afternoon for the very first time. What an experience that was! I had steeled myself for the meeting but was so overcome by how beautiful she was and how much bigger she was than I had in my head. She was 15 1/2 inches long and had the cutest nose I have ever seen. Am I prejudice? No doubt about that, but when I can finally take some pictures of Kayley you will agree with me. :-) I am sure there will be ups and downs as the weeks go by but right now we are in awe of a little girl named Kayley Renee Thiel.........

Kayley Renee

Our granddaughter decided to make a very early appearance into this world. We were not expecting to meet her until around August 27th. Megan's water broke on the Wednesday after Memorial Day. She has been in the hospital ever since and was able to keep from going into labor until early this morning. Kayley was only 27 weeks and 3 days at the time of birth and weighed in at three pounds. Considering she was supposed to have three more months of growing time the doctors were pleased with her weight. Right now all is going well for baby girl and mom and we pray that continues to be the case. Naturally Kayley is in the NICU for probably most of the summer but I really don't know that for certain. I "think" they usually keep them there until their original due date even if things go as we hope. Please keep Kayley in your thoughts and prayers for all of us! Thanks! Drew and I get to meet her in just about one hour and I cannot begin to tell you how that feels......Love, Grandma and Drew
