Showin' Us Who's Boss!

Well faithful blog readers (I know that I haven't been a faithful blog writer, but hey, that's life!), this is not the blog that I had been expecting to write today. My plan was to let you all know how the pregnancy was going, how big Christa is, what the nursery looks like, how the new house is coming along, etc, etc, etc. . .

To be honest, I feel very bad for not writing that blog weeks ago, because a startling turn of events will prevent me from writing that blog, you will never learn all of those fantastic details. I am guessing that you would like to know what would keep me from doing that, it seems pretty simple, just write the blog, right? Well, the reason I will not be writing that blog is because it is all old news, a moot point if you will, because . . . WE HAD THE TRIPLETS TODAY!!!!!!!!!

That's right the pregnancy is over and the babies are here!! After experiencing her first ever contractions yesterday at the neonatologist, Christa awoke this morning at 5:30 having slightly more frequent contractions. We called the doctor at 7:15 and he said, "Come on down!" So off to the hospital we went, and after a little waiting and a little monitoring, Christa went into the OR to have the trips.

So for your baby information fix here they are:

Congratulations! It's great to see that none of them are on a vent too. We'll be praying for all of you over the next few weeks. Thanks for taking the time to update!

CPAP is Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. What is does is push air into the airway to keep it open, this is a common treatment for sleep apnea, in fact when I could still breathe through my nose I was using one
