A beautiful name for a beautiful little girl. We enjoyed our first full day with her and are trying to savor every minute.
Currently Alixandra is in the Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) so that they can monitor her growth and development. Since she was born at just over 35 weeks, they want to make sure everything is going well before they send her home. She is quite jaundiced and has some respiratory distress and low blood sugar. At this point, she is doing very well and hopefully will be able to go home sometime next week.
Susan is recovering well from her C-Section, and is working through the pain and discomfort from her incision. They will likely send us home on Tuesday, but we'll probalby still spend most of our time at the NICU with Alixandra.
We also got to introduce Alixandra to one set of grandparents today. Susan's parents (Terry and Sharon) got to hold her and they were in heaven!! We also were visited by several friends and even got to spend some "alone" time with Alixandra.
Please continue to pray for Alixandra's health and development. We are so thankful for all of you and your words of encouragement.
Love,
Jeremy, Susan, and Alixandra Bill

Congratulations Susan and Jeremy!!! Welcome to the world Alixandra! I just knew your mommy was carrying a girl and what a honey you are! Love your lucious locks...reminds me of my own firstborn, although your hair looks longer than hers was. We are all so excited for you and your entire extended family--Hi Pastor Terry and Sharon!!! Wish we could see you soon, but for now, we send you our love and prayers.

Congratulations to the 'whole' Bill family!!! Alixandra you are such a sweet little blessing--and you are one lucky little girl to have such wonderful parents!! Susan, you did such an amazing job taking care of that little girl so she could be born healthy. And Jeremy you did an incredible job taking care of 'everything else'!! It's ALL worth it the second you see that precious face!!
