Latest Pictures of the Triplets

Here are the latest pictures of the triplets. They are only 11 days old and amazing us daily! They are all gaining weight and can hold their body temperature by themselves.
Taylor has gained 1oz. and is eating 25ml of formula.
Leigha has gained 5gms and is eating 17ml of formula.
Kaitlyn has gained 10gms and is eating 17ml of formula as well.

All of their oxygen has been turned down 1/2 way and they are slowly being weaned off of their glucose IV's. They are getting bigger and stronger daily and are taking big steps to coming home soon!

Taylor is very aware and is almost always awake when we go to visit her. She recognizes our voices and will try to focus on you when you talk to her. She is very smart and loves to be held. She does NOT like her diaper changed at all and hollers to high heaven when you change her.



Leigha LOVES her binky. She will cry for it and when you give it her, she lets out a little sigh. She is already smiling and cooing and also loves to be held. She blessed Auntie Shelly, Nani, and Papa with her big toothless grin today to everyone’s surprise.


Kaitlyn is very strong and has moved herself completely off of her blankets at times. She will wave her arms at you and hold your hand. She also recognizes us and tries to pick her head up when she hears us. She grunts and coo’s at you when you hold her.


All 3 of them look exactly alike – a combo of Chris and I for sure – and are just perfect and precious. We can’t wait until they are strong enough to come home – our house feels empty without them already. I hate leaving them everyday at the hospital, but I know that’s the best place for them right now.
