The real thing

We made it our 48 hours at 7am this morning. First piece of good news. Contractions were coming from 6-8 minutes and things were calm.

So Ted went back to work to try to go to a meeting. So then of course with Murphy's law he had to come running back when the Drs called to say that baby A was in some distress and they wanted to deliver.

Let's just say that a lifetime of speeding and driving fast came in handy and I flew back here in enough time to start the delivery by C-section.

At around noon our three babies were born:

Sofia Chi-Mei Yang - 660gm 11:54 am
Raymond Chi-Wei Yang - 640gm 11:57 am
Daniel Chi-Long Yang - 680gm 11:57 am 2 seconds later

Everything is going as great as possible and all the babies are on respirators but doing very well. Actually amazingly well as per the neonatologists. They came in bigger and are breathing mostly on their own.

Mom is fine but in a little bit of pain.

But net-net the babies were born at 24 weeks and 5 days and the chances of coming through without impairment are roughly 40% each, so now the real roller coaster starts.
