Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you know that mom and babies are all doing great! Ella, Jackson and Cooper arrived a little over a week early due to little Cooper that couldn't wait to get here. I had an ultrasound on Monday and they found that Cooper hadn't gained any weight in three weeks, so the plan was to give me a steroid shot and we would deliver on Wednesday (a week earlier than we had planned) So I had to go back on Tuesday for another ultrasound and the second dose of the steroid shot, but once we got there Cooper's amniotic fluid was down from the day before and he was basically shrink wraped in his sack. So they send me to labor and delivery and gave me the second shot and the plan was still to hang on till Wednesday. But not much longer after that my Dr. came in and said we should do it today and so we went. They said it would be later in the afternoon, but soon came back and we were rolling!! I was very scared, but it was probbly better than hanging around all day and waiting and thinking about it. It all went very quick and was much better than expected. Right from the begining everyone was doing great, Ella and Cooper needed to be on c-pap to help keep there lungs open and Jackson just needed a nasal canula. As of last night when we left the hospital Ella and Jackson are on room air and Cooper is just needing a bit of pressure in the nasal canula, so they are all doing good in that department. Cooper was under the billi light's for jaundice, but his values are going down and should only need that for a few day's. We had LOT'S of visitors and all of the grandparent's, aunt's, uncle's and even great grandma have gotten to visit. Most importantly big brother Nick has gotten to visit twice and I think he is in love. He really want's to be able to hold them, but he will have to wait a little longer:) I will add a few pics so you call all see our beautiful little ones!!!
