Our family is finally complete!

The girls are finally all home with us! Leigha came home on Friday and Taylor and Kaitlyn came home on Sunday. We are doing great - just completely and utterly exhausted. The girls are eating about every 3 hours and Chris and I have their feedings down to about 45 minutes for all 3 which I think is pretty good actually.
We are having trouble getting them to sleep at night without us holding them. The only way we could get them to quiet down last night was to hold them so Chris held Kaitlyn and I held Leigha and Taylor on my chest and that's how we slept. Man - are they little heat boxes! Whew! Tonight we are trying something different. They are all scared of their big girl cribs, so we have Taylor in the bouncy seat and Kat and Leigha in bassinets. I DEFINATELY need to go get more bouncy seats!
Our moms and my sister have been SO much help and I don't know how we'll ever be able to thank them!
Thanks to everyone who has sent us their well wishes! I will try to update as much as possible - just know that for the next couple of weeks - we will be insane! LOL Oh and excuse all my grammer and typing errors - I'm on about 8 hours of sleep since Friday. LOL

Our little chunker

The girls are gaining weight like crazy! As of Tuesday, their weights were:
Taylor - 4lbs 12oz
Leigha - 5lbs
Kaitlyn - 5lbs 4oz.

As of today - Taylor and Leigha are the same weights - Kaitlyn is up to 5lbs 110z!!! She LOVES to eat!!! They are doing awesome!
Their feeding tubes were taken out today so they are all taking their feedings from bottles now! We are taking their car seats to the hospital tomorrow to see how well they tolerate being in them and if they pass - they could possibly come home Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my gosh! Everyone kept telling me they will pick it up 1 day and just be rockstars and I didn't really believe it until the doctor said they might be able to come home on Friday! WOW! Our Angels will finally be with us! Will keep you updated!
