Moving Right Along!

Well, we are all moving right along. The babies are doing so well! We are feeling very, very blessed and happy. Thank you all again for your support and love for us! Since the last update, they have all gained a bit more weight and are working on their last & final hurdle before they can come home - eating all their meals by their mouths and not their feeding tube. They are all doing a ton better on eating but apparently at week 35, babies sort of forget how to eat for some unknown reason. The nurses and doctors say it just happens so they are having to work back up to their previous progress - more patience required. Fortunately, we are very good at that by now!

Austin is doing the best on picking it back up and has even moved up an eating level! If he perfects this, he'll be home in no time. Jax & Rio aren't too far behind - their problem is that they either get a little too sleepy or a little too distracted. It's actually quite cute! Rio is so funny - she plays and smiles and then will do great for a minute and then she goes back to smiling and playing. She is so dang cute! Jax just gets a little too sleepy - he tries so hard and has done great in the last few days. They are all so miraculous to me! Such strong little babies in such small bodies.

Weight update - Jax: 3.12, Austin: 4.6, Rio 4
Yeah! They are now all above their birth weights and staying there hopefully. Jax had a chest x-ray and renal usound today to just make sure that he won't have any issues because he had the single artery cord. Sometimes, these kids can have kidney, heart or spine issues. But... all the tests were negative and he is just great - no issues! His little, bitty body never ceases to amaze me!

Here are some recent pics of all of them. We can now take them off their wires that track their heart and breathing and hold all of them. We love it! It is the cutest thing to see all of them together again.

Keep growing babies and keep eating!
