Babies are here!

The rumors are true... We are officially parents to triplets! Thank you to everyone for your prayers and support. It was a long day yesterday, but we are happy to announce that all three babies are doing extremely well, and Julie is recovering nicely. But enough about the details, I know the real reason you are here is for the pictures! So here are the first three pictures (Warning: They are hooked up to all the monitors and breathing machines, but I figured you would want to see them anyway)...

Here is Kayla Ann

She is our oldest, and was born at 2:47 AM. She was 4 lbs, 2.5 oz, and was 16.9 inches long. The nurses in the NICU are already calling her the little princess of the family.

Please meet Braden Richard

He is our second born, and was born at 2:48 A.M. He was our biggest one weighing 4 lbs, 4.6 oz, and was also 16.9 inches long.

And this is Daniel Bernard

He is our youngest, born a full minute later at 2:49 A.M. He weighed 4 lbs, 3.7 oz, and was our longest at 17.3 inches. I was down in the NICU when they gave him a bath, so I was able to get a picture of him without his breathing machine on.

Stay posted for more pictures. They are coming later today. Thanks everyone for all your support over the past 8 months. Please continue to pray for Julie in her recovery, and for the babies as they get bigger and grow stronger.

    They are beautiful, they even look like they have a little meat on their little 4lb bodies. Amazing weights! Congratulations on your little Christmas miracles. Rob & Endri
