Dear Aj& Jaydyn,

Mommy here, writing you from the Labor and Delivery here at Dupont Hospital. Mommy is 31 weeks 3 days pregnant today, and last night you two decided you wanted to be stinkers and cause a few issues. Because apparently, last night you two thought you were ready to meet the world.

Mommy had some terrible pains last night that landed her a trip to the ER in Kendallville. The minute Mommy & Daddy walked in, they called L&D there and sent me up there. They put Mommy on a monitor, and gave each of you your own heart monitors, and then checked Mommy. My cervix were dilated to 2cm. Then came the bigger surprise to Mommy from her monitor, I was having contractions every 2 minutes. The nurses called the doctor who immediately ordered a magnesium IV drip, and shot of steroids to help mature your lungs to help you breath should you end up coming into the world earlier than they expect. It was then he decided that all of us were going to have to take an ambulance ride to the hospital where Mommy would be delivering you (here at Dupont) just in case you two decided to make your entrance...that way you would have access to a NICU.

So after our ambulance ride (which I'm sure will cost someone somewhere a pretty penny), we got here and continued our mag drip... Daddy ran home to get Mommy a bag packed, and to let our puppy dogs go potty. The he came straight back to the hospital to be with us. He's such a good Daddy. :)

Anyways, once we got here and got settled in, Mommy found out she was definitely experience pre-term labor, not to mention she somehow got a UTI. So they began to treat Mommy for that.

Now, at 4:18pm, the contractions are now something I can identify, but are very few and far between now. It looks like Mommy and Daddy will be staying here another night according to the doctor who saw us, just to make sure things go well.
They did an ultrasound at 2:00 today which revealed that both of you are doing great despite the complications.AJ you weigh 4lbs 2oz and Jaydyn, you weigh 4lbs 1oz. This makes Mommy very very happy.

Daddy and I are so very blessed. Although we know it's still a bit too early for you two to say hello to the world, we know that God's way is better than ours, His timing is perfect while ours is not, and that no matter the time that you two will come the exact way and time that God wants you to. We have a wonderful peace about everything, and we know that peace only comes from Him. The same God that gives us all we have, and the same God that gave us you two!

By the way, I also have to admit the upside to being hooked up to so many monitors here, is getting to hear every move that you two make and listen to every little beat of your perfect little hearts. Although you two are giving the poor nurses here a run around. If Mommy isn't unhooking from the monitor to pee every 5 minutes, one or both of you are letting them find your heart rates with your monitors only to move away when she walks out of the room again. You two should really play nice lol!

I love you more than you know. Grow babies grow.

Love always,
Mommy

p.s. Just so you know, Mommy and Daddy run late fr everything. So we're still trying to figure out where you two got your insatiable urge to be early. :)
