Joey might be the first....

to come home!!! Joey could be coming home as early as this Saturday!! His feeding tube was removed on Sunday and he has been doing very well eating all his feedings from a bottle. As of yesterday he weighed 4 pounds 9 ounces.
The girls are not that far behind!! Kayla will probably be the next to come home, maybe sometime next week and Riley soon after that. Kayla is on the left and Riley is on the right.
This was taken of Riley on New Years Eve. She is doing much better with her feeding issues. They actually started today to ween her from her medicine and start her on formula. Hopefully all continues to go well. She started on bottles as well and drinks about half of it before getting tired, that is why she still has the feeding tube but she gets better each day!

This was taken Sunday of Kayla. However yesterday she decided to take her feeding tube out all on her own. So they are leaving it out and seeing if she can take all her feedings by bottle. So far so good!

Joey taken yesterday. His outfit was given to him by his Uncle Matt for Christmas. :)
Mickey Mouse came to visit all the children in the hospital today so the nurses propped all 3 babies on my lap for a picture. This was the first time I held all 3 at the same time!
Close up...from left to right - Joey, Kayla & Riley.
