Overnight, Esther was laboring when she breathed. It was determined this morning that she should go to the NICU at West Penn Hospital to monitor her lungs. Based on X-rays that were taken, it appears that either her lungs are not quite developed (this is the most likely scenario since she was born at 35 weeks and 5 days), or that she has an infection such as pneumonia.
Courtney should be discharged from the hospital later this morning. We are glad that Courtney's mom is traveling to be with us and help us with watching Austin since we will be traveling to Pittsburgh a lot over the next few days.
We will post updates on the blog as we find out more. We are trusting that God is in control, and we covet your prayers.

I think Esther is one of the most beautiful babies I have ever seen. Thanks you for making this blog post so fast when you are dealing with so much.
Congratulations on your pretty little girl! God bless her as she develops and I hope her lung situation clears up really fast.
