Alayna Kate Yoho
Katie & I have been up almost the whole night but here is what we know at this point. The baby stoped breathing during birth, turned purple and her heart rate dropped sharply. All the tests like blood gasses were normal and she began breathing without assistance. Baby Alayna was transferred, by ambulance to, the University of Utah Medical Center, with her daddy, where she will probably remain under observation for about a week. Kendra is fine and could be released today. Katie is flying out this Saturday morning. Due to the situation at birth, we don't have the exact time, weight or length but a nurse guessed she was about 7 pounds. Please keep her in your prayers.
This next one makes my eyes leak (but don't tell Katie!) Alayna is looking at her mommy and seems to say "I Love You".
UPDATE!
As of late morning, Alayna has shown improvement & is looking much better. Can't say the same about Katie & I since we were up all night also & both went to work today! That's hard on us GRANDPARENTS!
UPDATE!
Alayna was born October 30th at 10:30 pm. She was 6 pounds, 14 ounces and 21" long.

We are definitely keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers.
You are all in our prayers. Welcome baby Alayna, however it is spelled!
It's easy to forget we all go thru trauma getting to earth. Now it's her turn to be spoiled & adored. She has CURLS! And she looks long & robust. It'll be great to get those stats & the full name. (Luv Bug? Sweet cheeks?)
Wow! Congratulations Grandpa! Your family will be in our prayers- I am sure Katie can't get out there fast enough! Those curls are too cute!
Congratulations on becoming grandparents! Our prayers certainly go out to Kendra, Jeff, and their sweet baby girl. Thank you for the update.
so happy that all is going so well, what a scare for you all, especially a new, first time Mommy.
Olivia stopped breathing about 6 hours after birth, scared the daylights out of us all. She is doing great and thriving now!
