BockTriplets!: Surprise Delivery

Surprise Delivery

David Bock — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 11:45:00 -0400

We went in for a routine checkup yesterday, and found out that nothing is routine when you are expecting 3 triplets. The time was right, and we had to deliver. This entry is light on stats, but hevy on some pictures in the delivery room, in all three cases taken exactly as Mom and I saw them for the first time as well.

Announcing: Anthony Edward Bock

AKA: Baby “A”. 5Lbs, 4ozs.

He is doing very well, but as is typical for preemies, he is on a little bit of supplimental oxygen. Actually, it isn’t even oxygen, it is just room air with a little pipe in his nose to help him breathe.

Announcing: Christopher Russel Bock

Previously known as “B”, his face is prominently featured in the 3-D ultrasound also on this blog.

He is 3lbs, 14ozs, and doing the best of all of them. He doesn’t need any help at all, and seems to have doubled in size in the first 12 hours.

Announcing: Daniel English Bock

This is Baby “C”, who always liked to kick mom in the ribs. He is 4 lbs, and an unknown number of ozs (I’ll update when I find out.)

Again, as in typical for preemies, he is on a little bit of oxygen, but he is doing very well.

All were born last night around 6:40 pm. Mom is recovering, but as of 10:00 this morning hadn’t even seen them outside of the delivery room – they are in the Neonatal ICU, and she is in a separate recovery room. If you are one of our friends in the area tracking the blog, sorry, but we can’t have any visitors yet…

Congratulations! I am so happy for you guys. It took us 6 years to get our 3 little guys, and you get it done in a day! You are amazing.

Anthony, Christopher and Daniel, You are 3 very lucky boys to have such great parents. Just remember to wait until after your Daddy takes off your diaper to pee. Ok, now sleep. I am sure you are still tired from the journey. We can’t wait to meet you.

Love, Shannon, John, Jack, Noah and Liam Sinclair

OMG! I’m slow with the emails sometimes, so I just found out about this blog this AM from Sean. Good timing huh as always (but when has Davey Vee NOT known how and when to make an entrance, huh?)

Congratulations to you Dave and Lorna! What a blessing!

Now, as my sister now has 3 kids each a year apart and is starting to pull her hair out when the second one learned to crawl out of his crib, I cannot wait to see the look on Dave’s face in about 18 months or so when Anthony, Christopher and Daniel are each learning to run around the house in tandem. (See, if I was ANY kind of technical genius I could post one such picture from my college photo album, but we all know the flabbergasted Dave face, don’t we everyone?)

Anyway, congrats again and my prayers are with you all to get the boys home soon!
