Early FFF- Oh Baby Baby Baby!

I'm posting my Favorite Foto Friday early this week because Friday is a very special day~ it's going to be my 100th post! I can't believe that I've already hit that milestone in just seven months! So check back on Friday for a very special post!

Sarah chose "Oh Baby" for this week's FFF- and challenged us to post the earliest baby picture of our "babies". I'm posting the first picture more for the time stamp- this is me on the way to deliver- yep they made me walk! LOL That's all baby out front x3! Yes I was that large! The time stamp is an hour off- it was really 6 pm when i went in- but its the minutes to pay attention to...

Here are Emily, Ashley and Madeline minutes after they were born. (they were here in 3 minutes total- each with their own minute 6:19, 6:20 and 6:21p.m.- that was FAST from when i walked in!). I was almost 36 weeks along in the pregnancy when they were born, but we were still so worried about them considering the circumstances (and we had a scare earlier in the day with Baby B- who ended up being Ashley). It wasn't until this moment captured below that I KNEW they were going to be OK.

The fact that all 3 girls (we didn't know what we were having so 3 girls was a total surprise!) were healthy, breathing on their own and the nurses and doctors were so relaxed about it all was a huge relief to me. After this picture the nurses (we had 19 people in the delivery room with us) put all 3 in the same bassinet and then let Rick go and get our family (and we had the waiting room full) to meet the girls for the first time! No one was expecting that, a true blessing to be able to see them on their way to the NICU.

Check out the time stamp- only 42 minutes after I walked in to deliver the girls were wheeled into the hallway to meet the family!

Emily (A) with her eyes open checking out the family, Ashley (B) still squished in the middle and Madeline (C) smallest at birth (by 2 oz.) and biggest today. (And yes- that is masking tape!)

And below is a week later- our next family shot in the NICU, I had been on prednisone for a rash so I hate these pictures of me because I'm so swollen, but I love them just the same because they are of my babies! Rick is holding Emily and Ashley, I have Maddie (with her little toe peeking out).What a wild ride this is turning out to be!
