We have hit the 3 pound mark!!

The girls are all over 3 pounds!!!

Taylor is 3lbs even
Leigha is 3lbs 1oz.
Kaitlyn is 3lbs 4oz.

They are still doing really awesome! Their personalities are really starting to come through! Taylor and Leigha put on quite the show for Grandma B and I this afternoon!
Leigha was smiling and pushing herself up with her feet so it looked like she was jumping! LOL
Taylor had her eyes wide open and was holding onto her pacifier and just sucking away! It was SO cute!

Here is a short clip of all the girls in their crib. Taylor is on the far left of the crib, Leigha is in the middle and Kaitlyn is on the far right.

Happy 4 Week Birthday Baby Girls!

Today the girls are 4 weeks old and they are continuing to do great! They are all out of their individual incubators and sleeping in an open crib together. It's so awesome to see them all together again! Of course, once they come home, we are not supposed to put them in the same crib together because it increases the risk of SIDS, but they are allowed to be that way in the hospital because they are on 24 hour monitoring.
Each girl has their own crib, so it's not an issue- but they sure look cute in the same crib!
Taylor and Leigha have been increased to the 24 calorie formula and Kaitlyn is on the 20 calorie formula. They are all still on oxygen, but their amounts are low. Oxygen is very common for babies here due to the altitude. They are also going to start bottle feeding them this coming week which is the last thing that they have to learn before they can come home! We are very proud of our little girls and how well they are doing! They are certainly little fighters!

Here are all the girls together once again!

Taylor, Leigha, and Kaitlyn

Happy Valentines Day!

I Never Knew

© Martha L. Sheridan

I never knew I could love so much,
until the day I felt your touch.

I softly kissed your tiny cheek,
and from under your lashes I saw you peek.

Your beautiful eyes so small and blue,
my sweet little baby just brand new.

I cannot wait to watch you grow,
from your little head to your tiny toes.

My daughter my love, my little joy,
my little angel, my baby doll toy.

I promise to love you with all my heart, I'm hear for you from the very start.

I'll comfort you when you cry,
I'll answer true when you ask me, Why?

While you grow be sweet and kind,
and show all others how much you shine.

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.
