On Saturday, November 28, 2009, at 1:14, 1:15, and 1:16 pm, Milley, Maddison, and Marley made it safely into this world. They were about 7 1/2 weeks early and are progressing well in the NICU at Ogden Regional Medical Center. The delivery came as a bit of a surprise to us. During a "routine" visit to one of Kristin's doctors on Tuesday, November 24, the doctor noticed that Kristin was beginning to show signs of pre-mature labor. We were sent to Ogden Regional so that they could monitor her and the babies, and attempt to slow down or stop the labor. After using magnesium to stop the contractions, they had decided that they would probably keep Kristin at the hospital on bedrest for as long as possible. Kristin began mentally preparing herself for the possibility of having to stay at the hospital for an extended period of time, however, Friday evening she began to have some pain in her lower left side, and began running a low-grade fever. On Saturday, the doctor determined that this was the first sign of infection and decided that the best thing to do would be to deliver the babies. In less than 3 hours, Kristin was leaving the OR a few pounds lighter, and the babies were in the NICU being assessed for their needs...what an amazing experience!
