Our Little Pink Queens!

We did another photo shoot of sorts when our nurse, Mary, helped us add a pink onesie to two pink onesies we had that we put on our girls. The NICU's onesie was "future miss america" which we put on Ruthie, and our onesies' were "Mommy's little love bug" which was put on Annie and "I love my mommy" which was put on Gracie.

To help with keeping their heads round as the girls can now turn their heads, we moved their bed and put Ruthie on the left, Annie in the middle, and Gracie on the right.

Other big news involves weights. Last night Annie and Ruthie weighed 6 lbs and Gracie weighed 5 lbs 7 oz.

Tonight Ruthie was able to have her canula removed from her nose as she passed the test of breathing on her own without any additional oxygen! Annie and Gracie still need some oxygen help from the canula.

The girls are learning how to feed and so Ann-Marie is spending lots more time at the hospital. It's amazing how long it takes to feed three girls!

The nurses continually remind us how great the girls are doing. We smile and know it's due to the Lord answering your many prayers offered in their (and our) behalf.

Annie's so good at keeping those eyes open!

  4. 5 1/2 & 6 pounds! Wa-hooooooooo! That's incredible!

    I can't imagine feeding three little girls who are just learning to nurse. It took our little gal so long to nurse each time she woke up, and she (being one) would not take as long as yours (being three.) Need a good book? Hahaha! And a book stand? I bet your arms are full... :)
