Jovie and Jaylee Meyer

The Meyer family was expanded last night to include Jovie Jane and Jaylee Joy Meyer. Sunday night Carey's water broke. Her and Bob went in right away of course and they sent them to United/Children's Hospital right away. Sunday night they gave Carey something to stop the labor and then gave the twins steroids to help develop their lungs. Then Tuesday night they took Carey off the medicine that prevents labor and said if she goes into labor again they wouldn't stop it, they would just let the twins come. At only 28 weeks along it was very scary. Then last night Carey started having contractions and soon after Jovie and Jaylee were born. Jovie was born first at 2 lbs 3 oz and is breathing fine on her own. Jaylee is 3 lbs and is breathing 90% on her own. (I think that's right, sorry Bob and Carey if it's not) The girls have to stay in the hospital for a while, but are doing fine. Carey is doing great as well. They did have to do a c-section since the lower twin (Jovie) was breech and there wasn't enough amniotic (sp?) fluid for her to flip around. Everyone is doing fine and we're all so excited to have two more little Meyer babies! We can't wait to meet them! We love you Bob and Carey and can't wait to see you too! I'll let everyone know if I hear more.

Have a great Memorial weekend everyone!
