We are proud to announce the birth of our three beautiful babies. Jessica called me this morning at 6:30 a.m. to let me know that she was experiencing regular contractions and I rushed to the hospital. They determined Jessica was in labor and shortly after I arrived, they began preparing Jessica for the C-section. By 8:15, we were in the Labor & Delivery operating room.
Hayden Elizabeth was delivered first at 8:32 am and has light complexion and strong features. She weighed in at 3 pounds 5.6 ounces and was 17.13 inches long.
Payson Andrew came second, also at 8:32 am, and has red complexion and a round little face. He weighed 3 pounds 3.5 ounces and was 15.75 inches.
Madison Lynn came out last at 8:33 am and has darker complexion and lots of hair. She weighed 3 pounds 4.2 ounces and measured 15.35 inches.
So, we got a white baby, a red baby, and a brown baby and the girls are definitely not identical. They are all healthy and stable, crying right after they were born. All three will probably need a little help breathing, as most 30-week-old babies do. They're expected to remain in the NICU for 6-12 more weeks, so please keep praying for our little angels. We'll have pictures up shortly, and more details about the birth, but here are a few of our babies' first few moments to tide you over.
Thanks for all your support and prayers over the past few months. Please keep us in your prayers for the next few months, as well.

Let me say these children are beautiful and, while fragile, they are also very strong and active in the NICU. Well done, daughter, and Keith, thank you for taking such good care of everyone (including me with your phone calls).
Congrats Keith and Jess!
Your new family is so beautiful! Happy Holidays!
Congrats to the both of you! Every night when we say our prayers with the babies, we pray for you guys. We will keep on praying. God has taken care of the 5 of you so far and I have faith the He will continue to watch over you!
We can't wait to meet them some day! Even if it is April when RSV season is over.
Take care,
Quenta and Al

Congratulations and best wishes to the five of you. You are in my thoughts and prayers. What a beautiful Christmas present even if it is a little earlier than you would have ideally liked. Bless you all.
