Well the time finally arrived at 8:36 last night.
Olivia Kay - 4lbs 14 oz - 16.9" long
Evie Lyn - 4 lbs 8 oz - 17.3" long
Sophie Rae - 4lbs 4 oz - 18.5" long
They came into the world quite fast, I think. Stacey had been uncomfortable for about 24 hrs or so and the Resident had checked her at about 6:30 and she came back in at about 6:45 and asked if we wanted to have our babies tonight. They had us on the way down by 7:00, Stacey was in the O.R by 8:00, they made the cut about 8:30 and she was sewn up by 8:50. It all happened quite fast!
They are all doing stellar and so is Stacey.
We are requesting that anyone who would like to visit wait until Tuesday, and also to call first. Stacey should be coming home Wed or Thurs and the babies around the 25th (that's their guess right now)

Dear Brad and Stacey
Let me be the first to congratulate you on the birth of your little girls. Lori called me last night and I just thanked the Lord for all of our prayers being answered. The first thing I did this AM was to check for pictures.. Thanks for sending them. Of course they are all beutiful littls ones. The smiles on both of your faces tell how happy you both are.
More later.....Mary
Congratulations! Nice hats! Some old ladies knitted them, you know.

Dear Brad and Stacey,
To God be the glory for this great gift He has given you. We are so thankful all are doing well. I could not sleep after hearing the news last evening-just thinking about how changed life will be for you and praying that God will bless you with physical, spirtual and emotional strength and great joy. We are willing to help in any way you need us.
Love, Uncle Pres and Aunt Micki

Love and prayers!

Wow - I am so happy for ALL of you - a family of 5!! The girls are absolutely beautiful and I LOVE their names! We will continue to pray for strength for you, Stacey, and for the girls to gain weight and be strong enough to come home soon. God bless! Marva Lubben
Congratulations Stacey!! (You did all the work) They are adorable! Wish I could hold them but I'm sure there's enough family members that I'd have to fight off & I don't work out that much. :) Make sure when they are all home you do stop in and see us in the office sometime.
Kris

Way to go Stacey, they are so darn cute. Time to start saving for those weddings Brad! Good luck you guys and we can't wait to meet your gilrs, especially Bryson. (he thinks they are all hot, he might hook up with one of them some day you know, he's kind of a ladies man like his dad) We wil see you soon.
Kevin and Danielle
Okay. I wrote a really long comment, then went to preview it...and lost it. I thought I had the respond-to-blogging thing figured out, but how wrong I was.
As I write this I have crocodile tears rolling down my cheeks as I absorb the true blessing you have received. I am in awe of your stamina, faith, and true love you had (and now have) for the sweetpeas you were carrying, and will carry forever. God IS good, and I wish you continued blessings as raise you these darlings, although I have no doubt you two will handle it with love, laughter, patience, and humor. I will, however, continue to pray for the patience and humor...and an extra arm for both of you!
I imagine them being three - you're laughing hysterically at their silly ways. I imagine them being thirteen - you're trying to pawn them off on those you "say" you love. I imagine them being any age - Stacey's shopping with them and Brad's shredding credit cards. Or, Brad's hunting with them and Stacey's maxing out credit cards.
Stacey, if you feel at your wit's end and think you miss the classroom, call me and we'll do a job-swap for a day (or a minute!). You may have my "personalities" and I will do my best to keep up with three busy blessings. I guarantee I'll call "uncle" first!
Congratulations and God bless. I hope you recover soon, and are able to remember your way around your house when you arrive. Do not paint your bedroom powder blue and apply a border just because you feel lost. You'll regret it later.
I love you all and can't wait to meet the newest Plymans. Oh, my goodness, there are more of you!
Love and prayers...and congratulations.

Hey Guys! Your little girls are absolutely adorable (love the names too)!! I hope I get a chance finally to get my turn up there to see you and them (it's been a while Stace). ;-) All our prayers have been answered so far. We will continue to pray for you. Good job to the BOTH of you. I know that you will be wonderful parents. We love you both and are very proud of you!

Congratulations!!
We are so happy for you guys.
God is good.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
Congratulations Stacey and Brad! I'm so thankful that your beautiful daughters are finally here. We--my three daughters and I--have loved reading your blogs and WE LOVE THE NAMES!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN!

Many Congrats to the Family of FIVE!
Your daughters are beautiful with adorable names to match their precious faces! They look so healthy and strong...your perseverance is more than noteworthy Stacey. You did awesome!
Unforgettable days are ahead - to God be the Glory!
Our Prayers are with You,

congratulations from Aunt Pat and Uncle Rich. Nice job.
Brad & Stacy,
How awesome that all is well. The girls are beautiful! They look like they will be ready to fill up on formula and fill out those skinny little/long legs. Hard to imagine that was all packed inside. We are excited for you both. I love their names. God Bless - cousin Lori :)
Congratulations Mrs. P! Cute babies!
Micah Wiersma
Brad and Stacy,
We're are so excited for you, I couldn't wait to tell dream when he flew in last night. We are both so thankful for their safety. Looking forward to meeting them in october!
Dream and Rachel
Congratulations! I was so excited to see the picture of the three girls. "Miracle" is the only word that pops into my head. I told my sister she had to have her baby by next week so I could see them in the hospital. If not I'll visit when things settle down a bit.
I stink at using this thing. The last annonymous was from Lisa V.H.
Congratulations!!! They girls look great!!! Brad you do too!!! :)
Congratulations Brad and Stacey! The girls and their names are beautiful. I am so glad they made it as long as they did. What a blessing to have them so big and healthy! Thank God for these wonderful blessings!
Kevin and Michelle VH
When will you change this blog name from bedrest to norest?
Brad and Stacey:
We were so glad to hear the good news! How amazing - only God could make these precious miracles! Even our Weight Watcher's lady knew about them - she had been in the pharmacy and had seen the pictures (:
We will continue to pray for good health for each little girl and for you two also -- lack of sleep is pretty annoying after a while! However, just remember when things are hectic - the famous saying: "THIS TOO SHALL PASS!"
Leon and Marilyn
Good job Stacey (and Brad). The babies are beautiful and so are their names! May God bless you in this adventure. Take care and take all the help that comes your way! Love, the Remtema's
Dear Brad and Stacey,
I just saw the babies on the Blog and they are beautiful!! Congratulations and God is Good to bless you 3 times over with such lovely girls!! They are precious and I hope to see them sometime at School when you come to show them off!! Love Julie Deppe
Wow! It's hard to believe that less than a year ago we were praying through some major tears for a miracle for you and Brad!
Just look what God has done! He is truly faithful and loving and has answered our prayers times 3!
Life will never be the same! You are about to experience the craziest rollercoaster ride ever. The ups are tremendous, the downs daunting - but God has been faithful to you thus far, and will continue to see you through!
Your girls are stunning! The look of peace and contentment on your face is priceless.
Thank you Lord!
Is everyone wondering what is happening now? Well Stacey and Brad are pretty busy right now. I can't change the blog but here is an update. Sat afternoon Evie and Sophie came home! Oliva is still at the hospital and doing well but she doesn't like to finish her bottle so she has to stay there until she can. That will probably be this week some time. Everyone is doing fine, even Judy and Brad. The girls are very well behaved because they take right after their Grandpas.
