The day started at 4:30 am with the arrival of Randy and Paula. For this guy it didn't make much of a difference, a train through the bedroom couldn't have woke me. For Miranda who had hardly slept a wink, it was a very exciting moment to interupt the sleepless minutes which were dragging on. At 5:00 am Miranda was experiencing what was either cramps or the beggining of contractions. By 6:00 am I had awoke to the ringing and the sound of Kathy having given Boyd the wrong directions in the heart of the Detroit. That is quite a interesting conversation after Dad had be driving from Omaha Nebrasks to Detroit Michigan. At 6:30 we had a house full. By this time Miranda is convinced that she is having contractions and it's a good thing we are headed to the hospital. We arrived at the hospital at 9:45 am and by 12:15 we were headed into the operating room. At this point it was apparent the the good Lord had the C section moved up for a reason, Miranda's contractions were getting very intense. Without the C section being moved our parents would never have made the delivery. Thank you Lord! By 12:48 Miranda and I had been blessed with a 6 lb 13 oz, 19 inch, beautiful girl. The question at this point was what is the name. After weeks of back and forth debates I gave in and we agreed that Trinity Sue Arthur was meant to be. Trinity is doing great. They would like to get the surgery done on Friday, but all depends on the surgeon and if it fits into their schedule. The opening is a little bigger then what we had originally thought. The good news is that she does NOT have hydrocephalous. We were told on Tuesday that she did, but God must have worked a miracle and she is showing no signs of that. This does not mean that she can't develop it after the surgery or down the road, so we need to continue to pray for that. She is beautiful and looks a lot like her sister, just in a smaller form!! She is in the NICU and Miranda is a floor above her. I spend a lot of time going between the two. Miranda is doing good. She had a lot of nausea, but that is starting to get better for her. We have added some pictures that will show you the opening in her back and also how beautiful she is. Thank you for all your prayers during the day, we definately felt the love of our family and friends. We will keep you updated on when the surgery is and how that goes. Love-Shannon, Miranda, Aubree, and Trinity
