It's a Girl!

We are so pleased to announce the arrival of the newest member of our family!

Melissa Katherine Day!!!

She was born about an hour ago at 11:00 p.m. Ukrainian time. Katelin and Nathan are worn out but elated. It was a hard labor, but we are praising the Lord that Nathan was able to stay with Katelin the whole time and they persevered together.

We don't currently have details about the baby's weight or length as Nathan was so ecstatic he forgot to bring that information to the phone. I'm sure we will get it soon.

All is well. Thank you so much to those of you who prayed for them during this experience. Please keep praying for Katelin's healing and recovery of strength.

Praising God from whom all blessings flow!

Thank you all for your sweet congratulatory remarks! We are very excited about Melissa's arrival! We are not able to go to the hospital to visit her due to the quarantine that is in effect, so we are eagerly awaiting her arrival home!
