Delivered in 30 Minutes or Less

Hey, quick update, sorry for the delay. Jo Ann's surgery began at 7:00 Friday morning, everything went just as planned or maybe even better. By 7:20 all 4 babies were delivered. First was Anna Claire - 4 lbs. 2 ozs., then Price - 4 lbs. 9 ozs., then Finn - 4 lbs. 15 ozs., then Carter - 3 lbs. 9 ozs. And they're all doing very well! Sometimes we borrow worries, and fear things that never even happen. Not one of our babies looks like Winston Churchill. They're beautiful. Every one of them. I hope they're ours. I will post some pictures very soon...promise. We don't know when they'll be able to come home, hopefully we'll find out a little more in the next few days. Jo Ann and I have been here for 2 weeks, and we're going home tomorrow. Woohoo! By the way, if you're a husband who someday finds yourself witnessing your wife's C-section and you see smoke and smell something burning, don't panic, she's probably not on fire.

yes, my husband would agree with you, "she's not on fire" - but don't look!

Congrats on your babies! They all sound like great weights. I hope JoAnn is recovering well and those babies make it home in no time!

Just a lurker from Sacramento!

One doesn't know the true meaning of unconditional love until you have a baby. God bless you all threw your new adventure in life.
Congratulations Benjy and JoAnn on your precious little gifts from God.

We're so glad Joann was able to go home. There is nothing like sleeping in your own bed! We pray Finn, Price, Anna Claire and Carter will be able to join you soon. We love you.
