Much love to my boys,
Clint
Our boys are finally here! Owen and Isaac were born Tuesday morning (9/9/08) around 10:30am! Isaac came first weighing in at 5lbs 7oz, followed 12 minutes later by Owen who weighed in at 6lbs 1oz. They are both inexplicably healthy and absolutely perfect little boys.... miraculous considering their early arrival! Later today we will take them home and begin our lives as a new family of 5!
Proud Papa,
Clint
We are officially 4 days into labor here at Greenville Memorial Hospital and still no babies.
Am started having contractions every 6 minutes at 4 AM Wednesday morning so we packed the car and headed over to GMH. They admitted us around 5:30 AM that morning and began to treat her for the contractions. We are only 30 weeks into the pregnancy right now so the boys are very premature... that being said, the doctors started trying to do everything possible to stop or at least slow down the labor process to buy some more time for the boys development.
The situation was pretty touch and go until yesterday. Amber's pulse raced to 166 beats per minute which is nearly double what her normal heart rate is. She was on about 5 different kinds of meds for various things, couldn't move at all, and wasn't able to eat or drink for 3 days. But, she stuck it out like the trooper she is and now she is completely stable and just trying to recover from the arduous last few days.
Right now Amber is doing much better, her contractions have almost completely stopped for now and she isn't hooked up to any crazy meds... and she is getting to eat every few hours! The boys are both doing great, as they have through this entire process... We really believe that they boys are going to come into the life much stronger than anticipated. If they have the fight and tenacity of their mom then I am sure they will be in great shape!
As for now, we wait. Thank God for the History Channel and TLC.
Thanks to everyone for their continued prayers and encouragement. You are what is fueling us while we are on the inside. Check back for updates.
