The Morris Triplets Arrived 11/28/08 08:40 MST

Brief update, and we'll get to the good stuff:

Jo was put on hospital bed rest 10/6/08 and I neglected to keep a tidy blog. Needless to say, I did not have the luxury to blog about our 3rd trimester adventure. So, I am here tonight, as a one week old dad , to try to bring you up to speed about the experience of a lifetime.

Jo was cruising along and approaching her 25th week, when she had a routine office visit on 10/3. It was apparently all good until Monday when her blood work results were in. She received a call from the nurse practitioner and said, "please come in ,you're showing signs of pre-term labor and we need to put the toco device on and check for contractions". Well, Jo was indeed contracting and she was immediately admitted to PSL Hospital. We were both scared and Jo was very upset about how quickly everything turned dangerously bad in such a short time. We knew this was a high risk pregnancy, but never really thought it would happen as quick as it did. She was released from PSL 5 days later where she remained on bed rest and was given a prescription for procardia and terbutiline every 4 hrs until 11/28/08. There were lots of little victories and setbacks for the final 6+ weeks. Jo is my hero for getting the little ones all the way to 32 weeks!!!!

Ok, without further a do, I bring to you the Morris Triplets debut!

We pick up from 11/28/08:
