Ok so this blog enry is going to be a sappy one!!!

I look at our precious babies each and everyday thinking how lucky we are to have 3 healthy, beautiful babies. When I look back and think about my pregnancy and the obstacles that we overcame it truly was a miracle!

I can remember the day that we found out we were having 3 babies, I was alone in the ultrasound room because Carl had to work. I remember feeling scared, nervous and happy all at the same time, the doctor could obviously see all my emotions and gave me a minute to get dressed and said he would return to speak to me. When he returned, I told him all my concerns which he listened too and then began to tell me alittle bit of how my pregnancy could go and the obstacles that we would probably run in to. We had ultrasounds every week up until week 13, where we then started to have our appointments in the Multiples clinic. I was very sick early on and it lasted until about 18 weeks, I remember thinking "is this over yet??".

Right after my sickness went away and I started to feel normal, I was sadly admitted to the hospital because my cervix was less than half the length it was supposed to be! My mom and sister were visiting at the time, we were all very scared at what was going to happen........ I ended up being in that hospital for 3 1/2 months and every single minute was worth it!!! I know many of you have heard this story before, but I cant help but keep telling myself because I always want to remember what a miracle our babies truly are!

I was looking back on some pictures and can't believe how small they were! I can remember being wheeled into to NICU to see them for the first time, I saw Blake first and could not believe how stinkin cute he was, next was Brooklynn and then Ben. I remember we sat around for a while before we actually touched or held them. We held Ben first and he was so small and he looked just like daddy. We then held Brooke then Blake, they were so small and seemed to be so comfortable with us... just like they knew exactly who we were.

Now we have 3 smart, funny, adorable & sweet babies who constantly keep us going. By the end of each day we are throughly exhausted, but we enjoy every minute of it!
