Ladies and gentleman, faithful SipeLife blog followers, Oregonians, Tennesseeans, Vol fans, Duck fans, and any other weirdos that are blog stalkers(like myself!!)- There is a new POTTER girl in town.
That is right- Layney has a sister!!!!!!
Miss Dara Abigail Potter arrived on Sunday January 12, 2009 at 3:54 pm!! She made her debut about 5 weeks early and her sweet, tough mother had a long road to get her here healthy. Lisa entered the hospital on New Year's Eve( the night of the Potter/Sipe New Year's Eve celebration that never happened) and endured some long nights and days trying to hold her off. I can bet that she is gonna be a little pistol. She weighed 5 pounds and has been in the NICU staying warm and getting lots of nutrients. She is beautiful and her Aunt TIffany has seen her up close and personal. Layney and Connor know all about her but have never met. Hopefully she will come home soon so we can resume sleepovers soon. 
Here is an email that Lisa sent this week and above is a recent photo. She has some cute little gowns that Aunt TIffany and Miss Lois bought her but she is too little to wear them just yet (they are preemie size so that should explain how little she is!!)

She has gained some ounces to her skinny little body. She now weighs 4lbs 12.8ozs. She gets to have her IV's removed. She has no longer a need for her nutrients and fats that she was receiving. Now we have to work on her breastfeeding and we will be doing great. She is doing that 2 times a day. That will increase every 24 hours. We are on 22 days of the hospital which is officially getting old. Everyone we know is sick or has someone in the house sick. No visitors for Lisa poo!!!!! Oh well I will make it. I just have to put my "Big Girl" panties on I guess. My whole household is sick at home also with that nasty stomach virus. Needless to say I haven't seen my other daughter and husband for 4 days now. But again I will make it!!! Just continue to pray for us as you all have been doing. It will be pretty sad if I have to beg the hospital to let us stay longer because of the home cooties!!! HA HA HAI am attaching a picture of Abby. Somehow I got here to smile. I hope it's not too dark for you. If I use the flash she goes crazy.
Love Always,Lisa, Justin ,Layney and Abby
