A Good Report

So far so good... All babies had a good night and only had a minor a&b or two. Nothing the nurse really wrote down since they were such quick drops. As usually, anything can change at anytime but so far it looks like they have finally learned how to breathe on their own. The bottle feeds went decent but Ella had just had a bath so she wasn't all that interested. Oh and Ella reached the 5lb mark!!! Oh Oh and Slade has outgrown Claire, albeit by .5 of a lb:)

Its so crazy because Dr's and nurses are now starting to say things like, "we did x&y so that when they go home..." It seems like just yesterday we were being warned about the worst outcomes and how with triplets the probability wasn't good that they'd be come home near their due date. Now like Miranda said in the last comment...we are getting soooo close! And we are sooo ready, its been a really long 2.5 months!

On another note, I received a really great package at the NICU yesterday from an organization that makes care packages for parent of micro-preemies with their babies in the NICU. It had all sorts of things from a blanket to capture the parents scent and leave in the crib, to a disposable camera, to a housecleaning gift certificate to a certificate for frozen food delivery. I am just amazed and impressed that there are so many wonderful people in the world that do so much for others! If you know someone in the NICU and want them to get a care package, you can request one for them at http://www.grahamsfoundation.org/home.html . Not sure how I got one, but I really appreciated it!
