Our new additions made their arival on September 28. My water broke on the 27th around 9pm and my Mom took me to the hospital while Jaime stayed at the house with Rio. I called Jeffrey and he started driving home from Winslow. When I got to the hospital they confirmed that my water had broken and I got a steroid shot and some medicine to try to slow down labor because I was only 33 weeks along. The doctor came in to do a ultrasound and found that Sol did not have her head completly down and Cruz was way up on top and looking like he didn't want to turn head down. After checking me and finding that I was 4cm dialated they broke the news that I was going to have to have a csection. I asked, "when?" and the surgeon said, "in about half and hour." This was something I never wanted and we were so scared because the babies were comming so early. Sol came first at 6:15am and she let out a little tiny cry then at 6:17am Cruz made his arival and let us all know he was in the room. They took the babies into another room and before they were wisked off to the NICU we got to say hello and give a little kiss. Jeffrey went with the babies while the surgeons finished with me.

I do not believe that I had 11 pounds of baby in me. Cruz spent 7 days in the NICU and Sol spent 12 days there. This was the hardest thing ever to have babies in the hospital and our little Rio at home with Granna and Cho Choo. Everything turned out great and we learned a lot from the wonderful staff at the NICU, it was hard to leave the babies every day, but to know they were in such gentle and caring hands made it easier.
First family picture with all five of us. Rio loves being a big sister and she loves to kiss the babies and check on them for us. She is also a big help to have around. She is so conscience of everyone washing their hands before they touch the babies, she even reminds us.
So sleepy. So far these babies sleep, eat and poop. They are so good and they really don't cry just grunt every 3 to 4 hours to let us know it is time to eat. We love having everyone at home and healthy.
Rio at the Balloon Fiesta. Her Auntie Kristi took her, they were early birds up at 4:00am so they wouldn't miss anything. Rio had a blast.
