Re: Make a family, Part 3
in reply to a message by Hannah
Dear Family and Friends
I would like to announce that our babies have arrived... although they were to be born on Christmas day they decided to come early. They were all very small and need to stay in the NICU here at Presbitarian Hosptial. Gwen is still resting so I took the time to get out the laptop and compost a letter of their arrival.
Gwen had an emergency C-section at 7:43pm. We were having a normal day today just relaxing and enjoying each others company talking about the names no doubt because we could not decide on them still! Well now we have to LOL... The delivery was rough and her labor intense although not real long because of her having the C-section.
All of our little ones are to stay in the NICU until their original due date and then maybe longer if they need to. So from now which is October 1st till Dec 25th we will be up here most all the time.
Gwen's preg was rough with false labors and low weight gain but she did all the doctor told her but we have our little ones now and they are angels from Heaven.
First to come out was girl 1 Emmalyne Hope Arthur at 2lbs and 18 inches long with dark black hair and big hazel eyes
Orrin James Arthur was 2lbs and 6oz and 19 inches long with hardly any hair but it was reddish in color what little there was and Blue eyes
Elizabeth Faith Arthur was the third to come into the world at 2lbs 9oz and 18 and 1/2 inches long with thick fire red hair and green eyes
Orry Matthew Arthur was next and the largest of the kiddos at 3lbs 1oz and 20 inches long and bald as can be with hazel eyes
and our last but surely not least was Owen Samuel Arthur at 2lbs and 19 and 1/2 inches long and with thick coal black hair and brown eyes.
We have made it through the rough patch now with the birth and their first check up was ok not great but ok. We are told that Orry although the largest of the 5 may have a heart defect but until more tests are done we will not know until tomorrow at earliest.
with love
Phillip and Gwen
