Well... So much for that last post about too much free time.... Last week provided a major change of events at our house!! I went in to the hospital last Tuesday, about 4:00am because I was having contractions and couldn't get them to stop. I did not want to go in, b/c I just knew they were going to send me home. Thank goodness Carl's parents were here and were able to stay with Drew! Well, little did we know that not only could they NOT get the contractions to stop, but I developed a pretty bad case of HELLP syndrome. My sweet doctor, Dr. Wooley, was out of town, and so by Tuesday afternoon, Drs Travelstead and Sullivan, and the prenatal specialist, Dr. Perry were deciding what to do with us!! Tuesday night was pretty yucky and Wednesday just got worse... So, at 4:00pm Dr. Sullivan made the decision that the only way I was going to get better would be to deliver the babies... at exactly 31 weeks!!! SO....

Drew coming to the hospital. He hasn't been able to see "brothers" yet, but hopefully in the next few weeks we can take him in there for a quick visit!

The boys will be a week old tomorrow and they are doing well. Ryan has had to stay under the jaundice lamp for several days, but has stayed off of his oxygen for the most part. Reed, has had to keep his oxygen, but is taking a little more food. As of yesterday, Reed was up to 18 ccs and Ryan was up to 15 ccs. They have both taken a bottle one time, the other feedings are through their ng tubes. Hopefully, we'll have some more pictures to update later!!

Thanks for all the prayers, cards, visits, and phone calls!! We appreciate each one!!
