Happy Birthday - June 29th

They are here!

At 5:30 AM Sunday morning my water broke. By 6:29 AM, Amelia was born, followed by Marcus and Josie. They were one day shy of 33 weeks. Everyone is in the NICU and doing fantastic! Marcus was on CPAP room air for 1 hour and his saturation was so great they took him off. The girls have been breathing on their own since they were born. Everyone has already been feeding out of bottles and Max even got to change dirty diapers already :) We couldn't be happier.

I am doing ok. I just got all my tubes removed this morning and am thrilled about getting to move around more. Yes, I am in pain but as I learned over the weekend, I am not one to turn down narcotics ever again :) I get to shower later today!

OK, here is what everyone wants to see.

Amelia (Mia) June, 2 lbs 12.5 oz
She is tiny, a surprise to us, but is a fighter! You would never guess she weighs two pounds less than her brother.


Marcus Max, 4 lbs. 11 oz
Almost 5 pounds, there is where all my protein shakes went!


Jocelyn (Josie) Mary, 3 lbs. 15 oz
She was the first I felt move in the womb and was feisty from then on.



And here is dad feeding Mia and mom holding Josie


Many more pictures and stories to share! Thanks for everyone's thoughts and prayers!
