Everyone had a good checkup today. Dr. Salow said we can start treating the babies more like newborns and less like premies now. He said that their central nervous system is now developed and as long as they are not having issues we can introduce new stimuli.Here are the new weights:
Mason - 5.10 lbs
Katherine - 4.13 lbs
Audrey - 4.6 lbs
They are still eating every three hours but we have upped them to 50ml each.
Hopefully by this time next week they will be up to 60mls and we can stretch at least the middle of the night feeding to 4 hours.
The last two nights have been a little rough for mom and dad because the babies have decided it would be fun to be up between 3am and 6am. Thank goodness for my mom and Auntie Rae who take over at the 6am feeding!
Thanks to everyone for all the well wishes!
I just want to hold them.

The girls came home last Friday and Mason came home on Sunday. 10 days and 12 days in the NICU!
ReplyDeletecongrats, if you need support let us 'older ladies' on the triplet BBC board know and we'll give you all the advice you could ever need. I hope it goes well for you, but keep in mind, the hardest part is at the beginning. It really does get better eventually. It's just hard to believe for a while. We all made it tho, so hang in there.
