It was a Sunday morning and I woke up to a busy day. To be honest it was all a blur but my mom kept a handy journal for me to help me remember. All of my brothers and sisters came to the hospital to see me which was so nice of them. Renee had called everyone and planned a family fast in my behalf and people even came to the hospital to give Ryan and me the sacrament. A doctor from the NICU came in for a consult and talked to Ryan and me about what would happen if I were to have the babies that day. Lets just say it included high chances of heart problems, brain damage and death. It was not fun. On top of that the medication I was on made me crazy. The room was spinning, I couldn't see anything because my vision was so blurred, and I was totally flushed and hot. It was miserable. After hearing all the things that could be wrong with my babies it was worth it. I just had to keep telling myself that over and over again. The good news was they moved me to the best room in the house where I had a great view of Mt. Timp! That night after things calmed down my dad and Geoff gave me a blessing (Ryan was having a hard time) It was so neat and such a comfort. I knew that no matter what happened we were all going to be okay.
So I am just doing this recap for fun! People always ask me how my pregnancy was so I thought this would be a fun way to share the story. It was a hard time in our lives but we got through it and every day I was pregnant was worth it. I want to keep posting about the present too so I might have 2 posts a day for a while. Some of the days were much less eventful than others so they won't all be this long. I won't be offended if I am boring you and you skip these posts but it is kind of fun for me!

I don't know if I can read these any more they stress me out! I had a hard enough time with Jaxson being in the NICU for 7 days I can't imagine what you went through. I don't know if I could have gone through this.
You are a trooper. I remember how strong you were! We are just so glad you both survived and that everything is going well!
Sarah,
I got the inspiration for a blog from you. When I got an email quite a while ago about your blog I started reading on an almost daily basis. Mostly I was a lurker and never commented, but I thoroughly enjoyed reading and looking at the pics. I had been playing around with the idea of starting one, but then after I read yours I realized maybe other people would like to keep up to date on my family and I. Glad we can be fellow blog admirers. By the way, I am totally enjoying the recap of the birth of the boys.
