It’s a Girl, It’s a Girl, It’s a Girl

(Kerry Here LIVE from Kinko’s Copies on limited sleep !)
Jenell delivered Girl,Girl,Girl triplets on 7/9/07 ~ 10.36pm.
- Alyssa Lynn Mann 3 lbs 13 oz & 16″
- Katie Susan Mann 3 lbs 1 oz & 15″
- Emma Elizabeth Mann 3 lbs 10 oz 17″
I will try to put together a better post after some more sleep… Jenell was forced into labor at 32 and 5/7 weeks- because she had preclamcia - very high blood pressure among other things… she delivered fine although premature. Jenell still has preclamcia and high blood pressure as well a severe pain from the C-Section. As a result she was put on a lot of meds that make her very drowsy. It’s sad that she was not able to see her own babies until today… nearly 2 full days after delivery. More on this-
The delivery was amazing- literaly 30 people running around and attending to each baby. I watched the entire C-Section and followed the babies into N-Intensive Care….
The babies are beautiful-(pictures to come)
They are doing well so far for premature babies. They are so small ! The babies are in a room lined up next to each other in incubaters– The nurses taking care of them are amazing.
Emma is a little cutie relaxed and laid back.
Allysa and Katie are a little more fussy.
Sorry I dont have time to write more- Lilly is Crying !- Quickly
Thanks so much to Jenell’s family- her Dad and Grandma Sue have been so helpful WE COULD NOT OF DONE THIS WITHOUT THEM !
The problem is Lilly cant be alone with Jenell- Lilly cant be with me and teh triplets- Lilly cant sleep at the hospital. So I am stuck with Lilly , Helping my wife, and enjoying the first few days of my 3 girls lives ! Warren and Sue (who live 6 hours away) have been helping out and taking Lilly at night. Jenell’s Aunt Elayne has also been amazing with Lilly and letting us live at here house before we delivered.
Thanks to my Aunt Mary and Aunt Margie for stopping by-
Anyways- really tired. We hope to get a room at the Ronald McDonald house( they house families with sick children near hospitals and Lilly can stay there with me )
Lastly- My wife is amazing . She went nearly 33 weeks with almost no bedrest- all of the specialists are telling her she has done awesome. And today - with no sleep , gallstones, preclamcia, high blood pressure, shortness of breath and on and on– She was in so much pain, literaly bleeding , her stiches were coming apart she had to stand up so she could get in to a wheelchair so we could take her to see her babies (after 48 hours of waiting) The nurse kept asking if she was Ok and she kept saying YES im ok- But I knew she wasnt.. She told me later she was in the most pain of her life- But the reward was well worth it- Im a big baby myself - I held back a few tears as I opened the door for Jenell to see her babies- the babies are beautiful….

Congratulations to you all! We look forward to seeing pictures of your beautiful trio. Take care of yourself and those wonderful babies and get as much rest as you can. Our kids were exactly the same weights and sizes and at 5 years old are doing great. Jen, you did great! Kerry, hang in there and try to get some sleep rather than hanging out at Kinkos :):)

Of course your babies are beautiful…look at their parents. I will schedule to visit when you all are back home. I will bring my 2 munchkins and hopefully Lily and Julia will tire each other out. Congrats to all of you!!! Great job Jenell on carrying for so long. I don’t know if I would have been as strong as you. Get some rest and I will talk to you soon. Did the big sister get the things we sent up? Hopefully it will keep her busy.
Love to ALL of you.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Casi told me you guys had your babies and I’m so excited! I hope that Michelle was able to pick up the triple stroller for you guys for when you can bring those babies home! WTG Jenell on being sooo much stronger than any of us could have ever been - make sure to take it easy and heal up so you don’t have to be in the hospital longer than the girls! We all miss hearing from you at CafeMom. Take care - let us know if you need anything, we’ll continue the scavenger hunts!!
