Well Friday may be the lucky day?

Aubs snatched this cool picture of Colton and Easton as they shared a nursery cart together while Peyton was getting his vitals checked by the nurses. I don't know if they will all look this happy after tomorrow when they go in for the dirty deed or under the knife, however you want to say it. They are scheduled for their circumcisions in the morning, so have a little pity for them alright. Sept 12 2008 is the day Aubry is scheduled to return home and she is ready I believe, but we just hope and pray that the chicos can come home too all together, so we will just have to wait and see. The nurses are not saying anything about this info, so I will just have to keep everybody posted.

Kenlee loves her brothers!!!


Well at first it was pulling teeth, but it may be finally sinking in. Kenlee has really enjoyed going to the hospital and seeing her mommy and her little brothers. On Wednesday night I picked up Kenlee and told her that I would take her to Jungle Jim's Playground or to the the park for some one on one time and a daddy daughter date, but to my surprise she didn't want to go to any of those places, she wanted to go to the hospital and see the rest of her family. So we headed up there and it was an awesome experience, as she helped get the bottles ready for a feeding and did have a chance to hold a few of her brothers. Now we will just have to wait to see how it goes when we get home. We will see!!!

The baby stats and possible names

Everybody has been asking and I'm sorry for not giving the important data to everybody sooner.
Easton ? Burt was born at 7:59 a.m. on 9-8-08 weighed 4lbs 13 oz and was 18".
Colton ? Burt was born at 8:00 a.m. on 9-8-08 weighed 5lbs 5 oz and was 19.5".
Peyton ? Burt was born at 8:01 a.m. on 9-8-08 weighed 5lbs 3 oz and was 19".

We are still trying to figure out middle names and can't decide between naming them all with my middle name Jacob or maybe giving them all of their grandpas names (because we have three and three babies), if so it would most likely be Easton Kent, Peyton Arthur and Colton Robert. Doing it this way nicknames will be tougher, but the other way we could have some PJ's, CJ's and EJ's so who knows. Let us know what you think. Thanks

Aubry finally got to hold all 3 babies


Well it still continues to be a miracle around here in Room 204. This morning Peyton and Colton got there first promotions and graduated from the nursery and got turned over to our care in our room. It was awesome and the first time Aubry got to see them. We were still monitoring Easton as his blood sugars were increasing and finally he started to take some formula. It was a huge surprise at 2:30 this afternoon he got promoted also and made his way out of the nursery and into our room. What a joyful occasion as Mom finally got to hold all three of her sons on the outside of her belly for the very first time.

09-08-08 is the big day


It was a rough night sleeping and it felt like the night before Christmas or the night before you left for a long anticipated vacation. Aubry and I both tossed and turned and took turns sleeping. We set the alarm for 4:45 and it was just enough time to get ready and be to the hospital by 5:30 a.m. We got here in great time and it was nice to drive Foothill Dr with hardly any traffic. As we got here and checked in they monitored the babies for about an hour as they prepared us for the next few hours and first moments of our boys lives. At 7:30 a.m. they gave Aubry a Spinal block and with a team of Doctors, Nurses and Anesthesiologists (thanks to spell check) we headed for the O.R. and the greatest miracle of all time presented itself. Aubry was very calm throughout the procedure but by the look in her face you could tell she was nervous and anxious for what was going to happen over the next few minutes. The babies came one by one, first Baby A at 7:59 a.m., then Baby B at 8:00 and Baby C took his time and came at 8:01. It was amazing to see the team of skilled doctors and nurses instantly grab the babies and immediately start caring for them as they welcomed them into this world. It wasn't long and I had 1 baby in my arms and then 2. It was amazing to hold them both and it was truly a surreal experience. Then the third baby got handed to me and it set in, I had my hands full and we were embarking on the Wildest Ride of our lives, but it also was so incredible and a big piece and glimpse of heaven as i got to hold my boys for the very first time all together.
