Say Hello

Birth Name Nickname Time Weight Length
Samuel Alexander Gliser Sam 8:51 am 3lbs 15oz 16 in
Julia Brooke Gliser Jules 8:52 am 3lbs 14oz 17.5 in
Sophia Cayden Gliser Sophie 8:53 am 2lbs 4oz 14.5 in


They wheeled us in for surgery prep at 6:15 (ugh) in the morning. Laney had a spinal block while Shane threw on his paper scrubs and in no time at all, it was happening. Laney watched with a mirror and Shane shot video as one by one the babies were pulled out. The sounds of little baby cries immediately filled the room and mommy and daddy smiled. They held the girls up to Laney for a kiss while more attention was paid to Sam's breathing and then it was on to the NICU for stabalization and testing.

All are doing well and resting in their own individual issolates. They are all breathing on their own but they do have CPAP to help keep their lungs inflated.

Once Laney's drugs were wearing off the doctors wheeled her in for one more view.

After viewing the babies our extended family went to eat at Cheesecake Factory while we stayed in the room at took our first attempt a pumping. It was a big success. Shane was so proud of Laney for doing so well since it can be days before any milk can comes out.

We'll be posting more pictures to our gallery shortly.

Ü* I had finally calmed down and then bam, you updated the blog and I see pics. Now I am all blubbery again. After much time on our knees, ups, downs, chats and hugs, I just can't believe they are here. You are both going to be WONDERful parents! I couldn't be happier for you! Blessings to all 5 of you!
Love to you all

What joys you’ve created!! This is the beginning of such wonderful things to come. Remember what I said about being out numbered only by one … you can do it! We know the key to being successful parents … keeping your focus in the right place. Remember what a blessing and honor it is to be chosen to be a parent of multiples! This is a special job … you’re very fortunate!
Love, Kathy, Emma and Alice!!

Congratulations Shane & Laney!
I know you've both been looking forward to this day for a long time, and I'm so happy for you that it's finally here!

Just a couple words of advice from one parent to another: sleep when they sleep, try not to lose your cool when they lose theirs, and accept the love and support of those around you!

Congratulations, guys. The babies are beautiful. And, we couldn't be happier for you.

I wish we could've been there with you guys, but I suspect that you had plenty of company.

Get your rest when (and while) you can, and we'll be praying for you.

We love you guys,
J, J, & J

God could not have blessed two better people than you guys, those 3 little ones just don't know how lucky they are.
Let me know what shifts you have open for me and I will be there to help.
Enjoy every moment.
