Introducing: Ruby Alice Melander!
So, I realize that it's been WAAAAAAAY too long since I've posted anything, but we've had a good excuse: we just had a baby! (Did I even mention that I was pregnant? Hmmm... Sorry about that) Regardless, we have a new little bundle in our family: Miss Ruby Alice Melander (named after two of her great-grandmothers).
She came into the world a tad early--7 weeks early to be exact. Weighing in at 4lbs 9oz. She came out screaming--a great sign of her lung capacity, 18". And, she has been doing super well ever since. She is still in the hospital in the special care unit, so it's been hard not showing her off to everyone in person, but for now, pictures will have to do.
Oscar has been a GREAT big brother so far. Ruby "gave" him a gift of a baby doll of his very own, which he promptly named Ruby. :) He has been a trooper with all the juggling to and fro from the hospital and different caregivers while Mommy is with baby Ruby, and Dave has been a rockstar taking care of all of us with amazing fortitude.
We appreciate all the well-wishes and prayers. God's peace has been SO PREVALENT throughout this entire process, and we praise Him for life and bodies and family and friends and everything that is good, because we know He is behind it all.

I promise, we will be part of the world again sometime soon...as soon as we get Ruby home (TBD--a week more? Two?) and settled, we'll contact you to come and meet and greet. Until then, stay cozy and hopefully we'll put more pictures up soon!
