Babies Are Here!! Happy New Year!!

Neely Grace 1-2-2009

Hey everyone,



What a surprise! One of my waters broke on January 1, 2009 at 3:33 pm! How odd! I called my mom first and her cell phone call was received at 3:33! Bevan was baby B and was in the center of Kai and Neely. She decided she was ready to start the new year and kicked her water open!! Ofcourse, we thought it was Kai since he was the lowest baby (baby A). I will give you all a brief summary of that long day........ As soon as my water broke, Jeremy and I made a mad dash through the house and gathered my things. I called Jeremy's mom Debbie to come over also. She asked if I was sure my water had broke and I said yes b/c there was no doubt!! My mom called Dad and Karen so they could get headed to Nashville right away and be there when the helicopter landed so I would not be alone. Jeremy, Mom, Gracey, Debbie, Rick, and I headed to WBH. We were there for 45 min to an hour and then I was air lifted to Vanderbilt in Nashville, TN. My sister Leah lives in Nashville and was able to meet me there in case Jeremy did not arrive in time for the c-section. The ride was crazy and there were many scary times as Kai was making his way into the world really fast. I'll have to give details later. Anyway, the Lord once again watched over all of us and we made it to Vanderbilt with all 3 babies still in my belly!! Dad, Karen, Mitchell, and Leah all made it to the hospital as well as my friend Niki so I was relieved to see all of them when I arrived. Jeremy and the rest of the parents and Gracey made it there in time for the surgery! YAY!! The medical staff was awesome and I never knew how fast someone could put in an epidural until now. I almost couldn't follow the directions fast enough!! Anyway, Bevan was born at 9:44 pm, Kai at 9:45 pm, and Neely at 9:47 pm. It was funny b/c we thought Kai would be born first since he was the lowest, but as they annonced baby A was a girl, we did not know what to think. Jeremy's eyes got huge and we both thought we were having 3 girls!! Then Dr.Rush announced baby B was a boy!! We were relieved although we would not care a bit what the sex of any of them were. I do think we have had enough surprises lately!! Here are some pics of our precious babies and I hope all of you enjoy them like we have so far!! Please keep praying for us. The babies are all steadily progressing in the NICU so far so thank you all for praying for us this far. Thank you for all of your support and love. We could not have made it this far without each of you! We love you. Mostly, thank you Lord for blessing us and loving His children so much.. Thank you Lord for our miracles and for saving each of us. We will be in Nashville at the Ronald McDonald House which is also a blessing b/c it is free of cost. We will update the blog so you all can read about their progress and see their little faces! God Bless and we'll talk soon. The Flowers Five!!
