Perhaps less than 21 days to go...

So with Sandra in the hospital, I am free to manage the creative content myself.

I was peacefully sleeping last night when Sandra woke me up with the announcement that her water broke. After standing around like idiots for a few minutes, we go things in order and made our way to the hospital. Because Sandra was not in labour, they kept her for observation and I went home at about 5:30. By a bit past 8 a decision was made to go ahead with a c-section, with the result that Sandra and I are parents to two boys and a girl, as of about 9:15 AM.

As it turns out, Baby A was a boy (2 lbs 12 oz), Baby B was also a boy (3 lbs 14 oz) and Baby C was a girl ( 2 lbs 13 oz). There were some initial respiratory challenges for babies B and C, who are now doing well. They are intubated but on air rather than oxygen. Baby A is leading the pack at present. Names will be finalized in the immediate future, but we were a bit caught off guard by the abrupt arrival of the babies and had not figured out that particular detail.

Sandra is doing well and was feeling well enough to get in a wheelchair and go to the NICU. Rumour has it that she will be in the hospital until Tuesday. I am sure that she will have accumulated a lot to say by that point.

There is really not much else to add at the moment. When I left the hospital at 5:15 the nurses were pleased with how things were going. Hopefully things will proceed well and uneventfully....
