Don't worry, while they had the hood up, we had 'em go ahead and tinker with the plumbing on mom a bit... 4 is enough! Still haven't had a chance to upload pics yet, but: Kaelynn Elizabeth Ecton 3 pounds, 10.2 ounces 16 1/4 inches Brian Keith Ecton II 4 pounds, 1.6 ounces 16 1/2 inches Blake Dale Ecton 2 pounds, 15 ounces 16 inches Mom's pretty beat up, but resting. Dad's in a daze that's expected to last at least the next 18 years... |

C O N G R A T S again for 3 beautiful kids! P.S. Kaelynn has long fingers, gonna be a basketball player.. Thanks again! Yeah, proud daddy doesn't even BEGIN to describe it... And worried daddy too of course, but that's par for the course... Blake was the one that caused the early exit. Or rather, his placenta. (Warning, technical medical stuff to follow) Wednesday's sonogram showed two major problems - #1 He had suddenly begun lagging his siblings in growth markedly, and #2. a condition known as absent end diastolic flow was observed in his umbilical cord. Basically, the blood flow through his umbilical between him and his placenta was being restricted (more to it than that, of course, but) causing him to receive a limited amount of nutrients. As the doc explained it, we could wait, and the others would continue to grow, but Blake would grow no more, and would in fact begin to recede, endangering him, so it was time... better to take 3 babies early then to take 2 healthy ones later and one barely alive, at best... |

Congratulations, now go get some SLEEP Congrats from this side. Sometimes, getting a little rest is hard to do . . . An older, tired-looking dog wandered into my yard.
I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home and was well taken care of.
He calmly came over to me, I gave him a few pats on his head;
he then followed me into my house, slowly walked down the
hall, curled up in the corner and fell asleep.
An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out. The next day he was back, greeted me in my yard, walked inside and resumed his spot in the hall and again slept for about an hour. This continued off and on for several weeks.
Curious I pinned a note to his collar: 'I would like to find out who the owner of this wonderful sweet dog is and ask if you are aware that almost every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap.'
The next day he arrived for his nap, with a different note pinned to his collar:
'He lives in a home with 6 children, 2 under the age of 3 - he's trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?' |

Brief update: (Cross posting to main board and here) All three have been off their CPAPs now for 24 hours (Which is a very good thing). Which, a side effect of that was that their faces aren't totally covered now, and mommy was able to finally hold her babies. And, a side effect of THAT was that daddy was finally able to get some pictures of their faces! Or, at least 2 of them. (Mommy got tired before she could get to Blake, but she'll start with him today) So, now let me properly introduce: Kaelynn Elizabeth:  And Brian Keith II :  We go home from the hospital, which is going to be very difficult to do... Going home but leaving your babies there isn't a fun thing to do, but... things can always be worse... More updates later... Thanks again for all the comments, warm thoughts, prayers, support, etc! |

Thanks again ya'll! We really do appreciate all the warm thoughts and nice comments! (And even that other guy's comments too... ) Mommy finally got to hold Blake today, so I've finally got a picture of his face as well...  Also, the spousal unit/maternal unit and myself came home from the hospital today. We're about to get some sleep in our own bed for the first time in a week... Well, I am... She has to pump every 2.5-3 hours... Seriously... I love my wife, and I've always admired her, but my admiration had gone off the chart right now with her dedication to doing everything she possibly can for her kids... |

What a beautiful family. The babies are so cute. We'll keep Kaelynn in our prayers. Hopefully she'll get to go home soon. Your right, the hospital photographer did a fantastic job . . . very creative.
