Skin to skin

Megan got to hold all three babies "skin to skin". Both the babies and Megan seemed to like it a lot.

Everyone is still doing great. One of our Nurses said we have perfect preemies. We got the results of our echo. All three have closed PDA's. Feedings are going good, and we finally have breast milk for them.

new pictures

Here is a new picture of Edison.

he got his CPAP off this morning, and is doing well. he is on a nasal cannula that adds a little air pressure when he breathes. he is currently getting room air through his cannula. he also has a NG tube, and has been getting small amounts of formula every few hours.

Here is Daisy with Megan's hand.

she also has her CPAP off, and is on a cannula on room air. and is on the same feeding schedule. she is doing great, and likes to be held.

Here is Ginger with no CPAP or cannula.

she is doing very good, and just got taken off her CPAP. she seems to be awake more than the others, and she is very active.

14 hours old

I'm adding a little video of all three babies. they are all breathing room air, but are using a CPAP to assist with respiration. it makes it hard to see their faces, but they might get off the CPAP tomorrow because everyone is doing so well.

Birthday x 3

It finally happened.

1/23/09 at 11:07 PM Megan delivered. Everything went perfect. We had a huge team for the delivery and initial care of our babies. It went fast and very smooth. A big thanks to Dr Nelson, and the other masked individuals in the room. I don't think it could have gone better. all three are healthy, and seem very unhappy to be out in the world.

So now we have 3 amazing little people we are responsible for.

Edison - 3lbs 13oz

Daisy - 2lbs 13oz

Ginger - 2lbs 9oz
