Maribeth had her babies on Tues. night around 7:15 (about 1 minute apart). I was on my way to the gym when i got a call from Aaron saying they would be taking her in shortly. Obviously the gym thing had to wait. I headed over to the hospital and got to see here before she went in. The surgery took about 1 hour total from the time they got her spinal done to the time she went in to recovery. Afterward I got to go in to see her in recovery and no lie, there was a big tupperware bowl full of blood and placenta. Seriously people....why the hell does that have to be in there? Anyway I stayed until about 10:00 but didn't see the babies until last night.
All babies are in the NICU and doing fine. Baby B who is a girl and not yet named (there is a tally sheet up for Maura and Adelyn) is having a little trouble breathing so she is still on a breathing machine. The other 2 are not and are on whatever NICU babies are normally on. The doctors are speculating 2-4 weeks before they can come home. By the way, her other daughter is named Clara Leigh.....Leigh after me which I was totally elated about. Baby C is a boy and he is also not named although I think they are leaning toward Alexander Charles.
Maribeth just moved to postpartum today which is on the same floor as the babies. She is doing pretty well although last night she was having such severe pains that she was screaming out even with 4 people in her room. i got real queasy real fast....this does not look good. Anyway, apparently it was a combination of severe gas and her uterus moving around to get back in place....whatever - it all sounds bad to me. hahah! There has been no mention of when she will go home although I'm guessing it wil be early next week.
So all is right with the world and I am so thankful that her babies are doing so well. She has fought long and hard to have a family and now she has been blessed with three tiny, adorable babies. The funniest part is they all look a little different. One definitely looks bi-racial with dark hair, the other girl looks white but with dark hair and the boy looks indian with blonde hair.....I told them they have started their own little United Nations....haha
Will keep you all posted but for now everyone is doing great!

How amazing! Yep - there are some gross parts of it all - but why bore you with all of that! You truly do forget all of the bad stuff. Still thinking of you all of the time! Please give my congrats to Maribeth and Aaron -- I think she likes me the best out of all of the Indy girls anyway!
Stef, you are such a queer, she only likes you best b/c she never sees you!!!
Jenn, I do agree with Stef, the gross stuff disappears into time, I am sure John saw way more then me anyway, and he is choosing not to share some with me.
Those biracial babies get darker as the days go one. Gabs looked white when she was born.Not so much now though.
Hello Good Friends!!
Jennifer... I am sooo excited for you and just read through the blogs. TOO FUNNY. You will provide such entertainment for us in the coming months : )
MaryBeth! I think she should call Angelina Jolie and compare notes.
So.... I promise to be better with the blog as soon as my parents end their 1 month stay at my house. Until then, my head is not in a good place and you will not want to hear the thoughts knocking around in it.
Love you guys
Julie! So good to see you on the blog!
Thanks for all your comments, guys!!!!!!!!!
I think this may be a long 9 months and it so better be worth it cause if it's not I am blaming all of you! hahaha!
I think it is a girl - don't listen to Julie -- has she ever made an accurate prediction? No offense good friend!
that's a good point, stef....
julie has not made an accurate prediction in a long time.
i think we should take bets on what it's going to be and put some money on it!
