A Wagon Ride for the Triplets

The babies were put in an open air crib today--no more warmer! It was such a great sight to see!

Avery is now taking a bottle at all feeds as well. They all did very well with their feeds today! In fact, the boys often eat more than required. They are first given 30 ml, and if they are still hungry, can eat up to 10 ml more. They like to eat! What's it going to be like when they are 16?

At Cook's the smaller children are transported in little red wagons instead of wheelchairs. There was a red wagon in the Progressive Unit, so the nurse decided to load the triplets up and take them for a ride! They all loved it! They were looking around, and enjoying the attention from the nurses and other parents in the Unit. It was so funny!

Dr. Grubbs is still certain that the babies will get to go home next week. He was even talking about them coming home at the first of next week! We'll see how the next few days go...

The babies also passed their hearing test today, and they will have an eye exam on Monday. The hearing test really looks at the ear's morphology, and the eye test examines the retina. We hope the eye test goes well too.

Here are more pictures! (The first is Aaron...Adam in the wagon by himself...The triplets moving around while awake...The triplets sleeping...The Wagon Ride!)
