Todd and his bottle feeding!

Todd, Rose, Tessa

They are a month old now! and doing so great. Todd and Tessa are over 4 lb and Rose is 2.4 lb. they just learned how to nippleing from the bottle once a day, the lady that has been working with them told me the reason why they can't do bottle feeding every feeding is because they're premature and they get tired easily, they were born at 30 weeks, so they're only 34 weeks old, sucking, swallowing, and breathing at the same time is still difficult for them.

The babies are doing good! I'm so happy for all of them. 

Todd is eating well and his IV might be able to come off soon.

Tessa is doing excellent, her IV is off and they're feeding her more and more every day to put on calories. 

Rose is doing great, all she needs to do is trying to get bigger. she can't eat as much as her brother and sister cause her little tummy can't tolerate it, so they have to slowly increase the milk. My routine is pretty much the same rest in the morning and go see the babies in the afternoon, hold them for an hour each, so that takes three hours off. I love holding the babies and saying a pray with them, thank Heavenly Father for each day that I get to see them alive and doing great. I love the babies so much, leaving the hospital at night is so difficult. 

 

the best Father's day ever

Nick and Blake and Alex got to bless the babies in the NICU on Sunday (Father's Day), it was so nice. The nurses were so nice, they let Nick hold all three babies at the same time(they said they did it because it was a Father's day, otherwise it was too much work). Nick and I were so happy that family came to see the babies, I had a great time with them. Joyce is here to help out and she has been so helpful and a great support. 

Babies are born!

We are pleased to announce that Todd, Tessa, and Rose were born Monday June 9, 2008 at 12:35, 12:36, and 12:36 pm.

Getting Close To 30 Weeks

Yahoooo!!! my 29 weeks is almost over and I'm gonna be 30 weeks on Monday next week(How exciting) this is such a big deal to me because I want to keep the babies in my tummy as long as possible and it's better for them. First I thought I was gonna have the babies at 28 or 29 weeks.

The update on baby Rose, she's doing great nothing worse than before, so she's holding pretty good. Her movement is becoming a lot stronger than 2 weeks ago and her heart rate is better too! the doctor told me that means maturity. I'm so thankful for the prayers for the babies, it's working guys!! thank you so much. 

one thing the doctor told me and scared me for a couple of days is that when babies doesn't get enough oxygen and nutrient they might have a brain disfunction, well that scared the crap out of me! but he also said we wouldn't know until she's born. I was really sad for a couple days and then I realized that who cares if she had brain disfunction, she's still my baby and I'm gonna love her sooooooo much, I'm gonna try so hard to be the best mom I can be for all my kids, so it doesn't really matter, whatever happens I will deal with it and do the best I can.
