Tomorrow is the big day!!

Well ... tomorrow is the big day!  We're scheduled for a c-section at 1030 in the morning.  The babies will be 32 weeks old tomorrow and after many conversations with our doctor we decided that at this point the risks of staying pregnant (the decelerations, the magnesium) outweigh the risks of prematurity.  We are excited to meet these two and nervous about all of the unknowns.  It was a tough decision to make (knowing that they'll spend 4-6 weeks in the NICU) but my dear friend put it this way ... parenting is all about making the best choices you can with the information you have at the time.  We're learning some lessons of parenting extra early!  And it really is a miracle that we've made it this far and are still pregnant! We'll be sure to post pictures as soon as we can.  Thank you for loving us through the craziest months of our lives so far ... more craziness is sure to come soon to the Coyle house!

  2. I'm so excited for the Coyle household, even if it is a crazy Coyle household! Amelia and Luke are two very blessed babes to have parents who care so deeply about what's best for their lives. We are praying for all four of you! Love, Elizabeth
