My official due date

3:57 pm CDT August 24, 2008
Well Yesterday was my official due date. I never in a million years could have imagined that when we started this journey last year we would have the end result of triplets. I was so scared after reading up on a triplet pregnancy, I was worried about all the risks and months of bed rest. I was a picture perfect case as my Dr put it. I hav plenty more ups than downs and if I had to go back and do it all again I would in a heart beat. I remember one of the nurses in labor and delivery asked me what I was doing a week prior and I told her never mind a week ago, I was out shopping yesterday. I surely didn't carry these babies as long as some people, but far longer than most and to have had no complications till the end is just simply a miracle. If we didn't already have 4 kids, I would do it again, but our family is full and we are finished with that chapter in our lives. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I had to take Jackson to the Dr last week and it turned out he has a hernia and needs to have surgery. The Dr asked if Cooper had one and told him I wasn't sure, there was a lump but not as big as Jack's. Well it turned out Cooper does have one also, it has gotten bigger since then and they both with have surgical consults on Sept 2. The Dr told me this is VERY common in boy's, especially preemie boy's and this surgery is the most common pediatric surgery. It is out patient and the scars will not even be visible the more they grow. So we will see what they say at the surgical consult. On another note, they are growing like weeds and the proof of that is at the Dr Jackson weighed 7lb 5oz!!! I couldn't believe it, I knew he was big, but had no idea. I asked the Dr if it was ok he gained so much and he said he is fine, still not on the growth curve but gaining nicely. I will post some pics in the next few day's, I just haven't had time to upload them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Happy birhday to Chloe!!! My friend Carly had her baby girl this morning. I'm sure Ella and Chloe will be best pals:)
