Wow I can't believe our trio is already 2 weeks old!!! Time is already flying! Our little princess Brooklynn came home on Thanksgiving and is doing very well at home, she loves to be cuddled and hates sleeping alone! They boys are still in the NICU ad we are not sure when they will be home, hopefully by mid Dec, they are being VERY lazy with eating their meals and Blake has a few Desats every now and then. Carl and I are both already tired with just one home, but we cannot wait to have our buys home with their sister atleast then we dont have to take multiple trips to the NICU everyday. Babies weights are now......

Ben - 5lbs 2.4oz Blake - 4lbs 9oz Brooke - 3lbs 15oz

Alright so its been a little over a week since our beautiful trio was born!!! All babies are still doing wonderful and breathing room air!!! All three have NG tubes, which allow the nurses to get the breastmilk/formula into their little tummies if they are too tired to nipple feed. Breastfeeding is going well, Brooke knows what to do she may be the smallest but she is so fiesty!! The boys do well its just taking them a little longet to learn. All 3 have lost some of thier birth weigh however its completely normal for their gestational age. Like I said before Brooke is really fiesty and wants what she want when she wants it, Blake is all smiles with a little added impatience when he tries to nurse he latches on then smiles, and we have to relatch!!! Ben is VERY quiet and patient like his daddy. We will posrt more soon!

Our Trio is Finally Here!!!!

WOW!! Ok so yesterday was a whirlwind, our day was going as always and we were setting up for a NST at about 11am. About 20 mins into the NST Brooklynn our little princess decided that she needed to have a heart deceleration down in to the 70's, so knowing I was heading upstairs for extra monitoring I called Carl who was at home trying to get our new house organized and said I need you cause I am heading upstairs. We get upstairs and I am told that if there is another decel on any baby that were going to have babies that day, I thought that was alot to take in. About 20 mins after that our head doctor Dr. Hill came in and told us that there was no gain to keeping them in another 4 days and that she thinks they need to come out, so within the hour I was in the OR getting prepped and ready to welcome our babies into the world. We welcomed our trio into the world starting with Ben at 3:21pm followed by Blake at 3:22pm and then Brooke and 3:23pm!!

Ben was 4lbs 11oz and 18.5" long

Brooklynn was 3lbs 12oz and 18" long

Blake was 4lbs 5 oz and 17 3/4" long

Babies are all doing wonderful! Ben & Brooke are both just in their incubators with nothing else breathing room air!! Blake is on nose cannuals still just breathing room air but with a little assistance. Looks like they will have a stay about 2 weeks give or take a little time to achieve their to do list for the NICU.

Last BIG update before babies arrive!!!

Here we are at 32 weeks and 5 days, we had our final growth scan of the babies yesterday and here is what we found out:

*Benjamin is 4lbs 8oz, he is in the 48% for multiples and his heart rate was 130BPM! Ben also passed his Basic Physical Profile with flying colors, he has a ton more hair than 3 weeks ago, he is head up with his body and feet curving down. For pictures he was not cooperative being a stinker as always. Benjamin had a big growth spurt gaining 1lb 4 oz in 3 weeks! He still looks very chubby!!! :0)
*Brooklynn is 3lbs 9oz, she is in the 19% for multiples and her heart rate was 156BPM! Brooklynn was being stubborn like her mommy during her Basic Physical Profile and would not practice breathing, we guess her stubbornness is possibly being a redhead!! (Fingers crossed!) Brooklynn had a huge growth spurt gaining 1lb in 3 weeks, for pictures she showed us both profile and face on shots like a princess!
*Blake is 3lbs 15oz, he is in the 29% for multiples and his heart rate was 135BPM! Blake is still our contortionist sitting all the way on my left side pretty much bent in half as you can see in one of the pictures. Blake also passed his Basic Physical Profile with flying colors, he had a pretty good growth spurt too gaining 14oz in 3 weeks, he was also cooperative with his photos showing himself off!

*Mommy news

I am still doing well blood pressure is holding strong at about 117/68, still no signs of swelling just getting harder to move around! Showers wear me out and I pretty much am ready for a nap right after, its so much work!!! Lol! I am carrying about 13lbs of baby and with fluid and placentas its about 25lbs or so and I have gained a total of 23lbs!! Our c-section is still scheduled for the 17th of Nov at 34 weeks and 2 days! We are hoping to make it there so that everything is planned and runs smoothly. We will update again around 33.5 or 34 weeks!
