Kristin and I are sooooo thrilled to announce the safe arrival of our children!
We are completely overwhelmed with joy - God has been so good to us!
Without further ado...
Edward (Teddy) John arrived first at 9:37am, weighing 4lbs, 0.5oz.
He was quickly followed by Joshua Paul at 9:38am, weighing 3lbs, 6oz.
Last, but not least, my little princess, Emma Caroline at 9:39am, weighing 3lbs, 12oz.
This post will be brief - I'm home just long enough to put up our announcement with some pictures, and have a quick bite to eat before getting back to Kristin (who is napping at the moment) and our kids in the NICU.
All the babies were able to breathe on their own, and each let out some small cries (of joy!), which absolutely overwhelmed us! We fell in love with these babies the instant we saw them! They have since been put on machines that help their breathing - it takes a lot of energy for these little ones to breathe, and the machines will help ease that strain. They're also hooked up to IV's and other monitors - they're about 8 weeks early, so they need a little extra help, but they are in good shape!
Mommy is doing well - she's very tired and anxious to get to the nursery to visit with her little ones. I hope to get her over there tonight, if she's feeling well enough to make the short trip.
Before I post some pictures, please continue to pray for our little babies, and that the new Mom will recover quickly and without complications.
We praise God for a safe operation and for the blessings that He's given us! God answers prayer, people!
More updates soon, keep checking in!
Welcome Teddy!
Welcome Joshua!
Welcome Emma!

Okay... I can't even see my computer screen my eyes are so full of tears of joy at seeing my newest great-niblings. I've been dying over here on the West Coast to be settled somewhere long enough to hook up to the internet to find out what's been happening over there in Hamilton.
