Thursday Morning




Hi Everyone,
Eli continues to do well. He is receiving mom's milk and is putting on weight. He weighed 2 pounds 2 ounces last night. We have been overwhelmed with all of your gifts, cards, emails, calls, and prayers. It is really humbling to know much we are loved! Eli has an entire family out there that he hasn't met yet. Maybe one day he will get to meet all of you! Thank you so much for everything- it's hard to put it all into words right now, so all we can say is thank you so much and we love you.

Jenny and I really enjoy reading your comments, so feel free to post a little message if you'd like.

Love you all,

Will & Jenny

I'm so surprised that Jenny isn't crying in all those pictures where she's holding him! I know I am pretty teary eyed over here. How beautiful...he's so small but God obviously has very mighty plans for him!

To my newest family member, Eli - How happy we are to have you join our family. We are thinking about you and your mommy and daddy daily and sending our thoughts and prayers. Stay strong little man!

Jenny and Will - I've been getting updates almost daily from the "Gibson circle" and am glad to have a mode of communicating with you guys. I know you have a ton of family and friend support, but know that I'm only a stone's throw away in New York, if you need anything.

Much love to all three of you! Thinking of you daily.

Hey Waltrous Fam!
I wanted to let you know you have both my school and church praying for you guys. (Even my first graders!) Petra across the hall from me had her daughter at 26 weeks and she's a beautiful, bouncing 5 year old here in our Kindergarten now. I love all the pictures! What a sweet family and precious boy! I know God has big things planned for you all. I love you guys and hopefully can catch up with you all soon. Maybe a visit to see Dad is in order :)

Hello, Jenny! What sweet pictures of a precious little boy! I wish I were closer to help and hold like you did for Mark and me when our boys were little. You are such a wonderful Mommy and I've known that for a long time! All our children say, "Hi!" and we all are praying for you, Will and Eli.
Love you, Amy Coleman

I absolutley love these pictures! Jenny, I showed my mom and dad and when daddy saw you on that vidoe kissing on Eli, he just lost it. That is so you! You are such a great mom already. You were made for this job! What a natural. I remember many days playin baby dolls with you. Your favorite was the Baby Alove that pooped! Remember? Now you have the real thing! Eli is so cute. I can't get over all of his hair. His little face is so sweet! Love you! Jan Lowery (I still want to be a nanny!)
