After a worldwind day Ash and I are sitting up in our little hospital room enjoying our first morning as PARENTS. Let me back track about 36 hours ago. Ash started having bad stomach pains about 9:30-10:00 pm...so we went to the hospital with no intentions of having our babies. Ash was in so much pain, but was not having contractions. After hours and hours of tests they decided that she had H.E.L.P syndrome that is brought on by pregnancy. To make a long story short, if we didn't take the babies when we did, what Ash had would have been fatal. The babies were fine, they would just be about 7 weeks early. So our Doctor got to the Hospital about 8:00 am and told us that we have to take the babies. After calling some family, we were off to the OR to deliever. From the start of anesthitic to finishing stiching Ash up it was less then an hour. the babies came out great and Ash did amazing. It was all such a whirl wind for us. It sucked because they showed us the babies for about 1 sec and then took the babies to the NICU. Sophie came out first at 9:34 am and Finn was just 2 minutes behind at 9:36 am August 26th 2008. They were both about 17 inches. They are both little angels...I can't even stand it :) Ash and I feel a little cheated because we have only been able to hold her for a few minutes each and we still haven't been able to hold him. They have to stay in the NICU so we just sit in our room and want to have our babies...We love em so much!!! Sophie is being such a big girl and breathing all by her self. Finn is having a little harder time breathing, but he is a fighter and is doing better every hour. We feel so blessed that they are here and Ash is ok....It was really scary how fast everything happened, but Ash was getting worse very quickly so everything had to happen fast.
Here are a few pics, and we will put some more on later
Thanks for all of the love and support.
Love
Audy Ash Finn Sophie

Gage and Aspen burst in the door from school yesterday, wanting all the details on Aunt Ashes and the babies, the few pics on my camera phone weren't enough to satisfy them, they are counting every minute until they get to meet the new cousins. (Gage and Trace are most interested in Finn, and of course Aspen is all about her first and only girl cousin!!!) We love you all and are soo glad everything is going well. Hurry home!
