3 weeks old!

Today the triplets are three weeks old and doing well! They are all close to 4 pounds now. Riley is doing much better since her feeding issue. She has been eating for a week now and having no problems. They gave her medicine to help her body process the food faster and it is working. This week they will probably start trying to bottle feed Kayla & Joey. Riley will probably be a week later. Here are some random pictures taken over the past few weeks. Lindsay got to see the babies briefly and didn't really know what to think.Brian holding Kayla

My weekly update...

I can't believe the triplets will be a week old tomorrow! Here are some pictures taken a few days ago of them. They are all doing well, breathing on their own and gaining weight after the usual loss of weight in the beginning. Riley is having a little setback. She is not tolerating her feedings so they have stopped them the past two days and will hopefully restart them tomorrow. They get fed through feeding tubes because they are too little for bottles. That will happen around 34 weeks gestation. But for some reason Riley's tummy is not wanting to digest the food. They have run tests and everything looks fine. It is common to take a few days for the stomach to get used to feedings, especially being that she is small. However Joey and Riley are doing very well with their feedings and theirs keeps getting increased daily. So hopefully Riley will catch up soon! Here is Joey....

My two boys...

Wednesday I got to go home and I hadn't been there since Oct. 1st! The calendar in the kitchen was still on September, obviously Brian doesn't look at the calendar. :) And my watch that I left in my jewelery box needed to be turned back an hour. It was so good to be home and out of the hospital. Thursday I went and got my hair done which was way overdue! I decided to change it up and get bangs which I haven't had in ages! I am still getting used to them! :) Friday I got a manicure & pedicure so I am slowly getting back to my usual self! Here's a picture of Lindsay and I taken tonight.

The Triplets Are Here!!!

As many of you know I spent the past 2 1/2 weeks at my mom's house on bed rest after spending 7 weeks in the hospital on bed rest. Well Saturday night I was lying on the couch at my mom's house and my water broke. I went to the hospital right away and they monitored me through the night. Sunday morning I really started contracting so since I made it to 30 1/2 weeks in my pregnancy the doctor said it was time to have the babies. I delivered them via c-section yesterday at 1:15 pm. They are doing really good. All 3 of them are breathing on their own which is not common for triplets born that early so that is good. Joey weighed 3 pounds 6 ounces and was 16 inches long. Kayla weighed 3 pounds 4 ounces and was 15 3/4 inches long. Riley weighed 3 pounds 2 ounces and was 15 inches long. They will most likely spend 4-6 weeks in the Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit to grow and be monitored.
My first time seeing Riley Anne.

I'll post more pictures as we get them and any updates as they happen. Thank you to everyone who followed my pregnancy and the thoughts and prayers for my family.
