Week 32 - Happy Birthday!

Sunday morning, October 21st, 2007, one day shy of 32 weeks at 5:49 and 5:51 am, our babies entered this world after an unexpected emergency C-section. Sadly we mourn the loss of our son, Ethan Robert (Baby A), who was still born at 5:49 am weighing 4 lbs. 1 oz. and 17 1/2 inches. He was a good size boy for a preterm 31 weeker. We deeply miss him, we will always remember our Ethan and we take comfort knowing that he is in God's arms now. Shortly thereafter at 5:51 am, Ian Ross (Baby B) arrived at 4 lbs. 10 ozs. and 16 1/2 inches. Always our largest and most active boy he continues to maintain his personality in the NICU, charming all the nurses and flailing about. Merely 25 seconds later, also at 5:51 am, Emma Reese (Baby C) rounded out the triplets at 3 lbs. 10 ozs. and also 16 1/2 inches. After a bit of a rough start and being the smallest of the lot, she is now progressing and doing better than expected. She has amazed everyone with her full head of long hair and lengthy lashes. Daddy is already worried! We would like to introduce our new additions to the Tucker family if you take a look below. These pictures were taken a few days ago and we look forward to keeping you posted.
