What? It's been a month already?!!!
Posted by Tom
Well, what can we say? This has probably been the fastest month of our lives. The babies are now one month old. All three are doing great. Reiker and Holland have been doing one bottle feed a day for the last few days and today have actually had two bottle feeds. Sutton had her first bottle tonight, and she demolished it. Our "Little Bit" is a spitfire for sure!
All of the babies had an eye exam on Friday, May 2nd. All three passed with no problems or abnormalities that can be seen in preemies. They will have another test in two weeks and then another at gestational week 40. This Sunday (May 4) the babies would have been at gestational week 35 had they not been born.
Hopefully a few more weeks of good growth/progress in the NICU and then the babies will get to come home. It will be a bitter sweet homecoming. We have met some really good people at St. Mary's. They have taken great care of us and our triple miracles. We could not be happier with the care and service that we have received.
The latest measurements for the babies are Sutton is now 3 lbs 12 oz, Holland is 5 lbs 6 oz, and Reiker is 5 lbs 3 oz.
