The trips arrived!!

As many of you know the trips arrived on 1-22-11 at 8:45-8:48am! I was actually discharged on the 21st hoping to at least enjoy being ho e through the weekend, but they had their own agenda. I spent the 21st catching up on DVR'd shows, watching Brody play, being well fed, and a much need looooong shower at home to revive my spirits!

I woke up at 4:30am on the 22nd to have my usual Fiber One bar (I was still on the hospital schedule of course!)within 20 minutes of being up I started having consistent contractions that were "crampier" than usual. I laid in bed hoping that they would settle down, I really did not want to end up being re-admitted so quickly! I think I woke Ben up at 6:30am telling him to get in the shower as we needed to at least go into L&D triage. I was very firm that if I wasn't dilating we would come home, I didn't want to believe that these were actually the real thing. At some point while Ben was showering I went in and told him that we needed to go "now" as I was being doubled over in pain by this point. We repacked the same bags we just unpacked the night before and were out the door by 7am.

I emailed my Dr from the car ride as she was on-call and was a fellow BB addict like myself ;) I told her if this wasn't labor I didn't know what was! As we were checking in she was on the phone with secretary prepping them with order a as she drove in, I love her!

As soon as I was changed the chaos started. Dr. L walked in to check me and sure enough I was already at 6cm, progressing quickly and in a lot of pain! Dr headed to change and we weren't far behind in meeting the rest of the team in the OR. Since this was just meant to be a quick update as I will just say for now that by 8:45am we were meeting Mr. Evan Lyal, followed by Payton James and then Riley Warren!! It was (and continues to be) a very surreal experience.

Many more details to come, but for now thank you all for your prayers and support! They have brought us so far as all 3 boys are doing great and so is Mom!! Ben has been amazing, as usual, he already has the "baby cares" down like a pro and I get tears just watching him take such great pride in his boys. My recovery is allowing me to become more involved today and I can't wait to get back down there (NICU) after we have some time with Brody before Uncle T takes him home :)
