Introducing....

The babies are doing great today! Yesterday Jaxon was able to move off of CPAP and get on to a high flow nasal canula (I can't spell!). YAY!!! He is doing great on it, so much more comfortable than all that CPAP gear! And now we can see his face again, and he sure is a stud muffin!!! He has a ton of hair so daddy combed it in a mohawk last night! Sorry Maureen! =)

Jacee and Gavin are still on the CPAP, but they are doing great!!!
Jaxon...4lbs 4oz
Gavin...3lbs 9oz
Jacee...3lbs 13oz (She's down a little because they weigh her without all the CPAP gear on now)
I added some slideshows yesterday. I know it's a lot to look at, but I wanted to show some pictures of how far they've come and how great they are doing!

Gavin just chillin!

Hello All!!!

Well the babies are doing great! Getting bigger everyday. All three are now on CPAP which is great. That means they are having to breathe on their own, they are no longer on the ventillator which was a huge milestone for us! Yesterday was their two month birthday, and I never thought I would say this, but it has gone by pretty fast. I can't believe we've had them here for over 8 weeks! They have some great nurses which helps us out a lot! :)



Okay, well Jaxon is now 4 lbs. 2 oz. Which means he gets to be in a crib now! He was starting to look so big in his isolette but now that he is in a crib he looks small again! :) He also gets to wear clothes now, it's soooo cute! And he gets to be swaddled in the blankets and he loves it! Our little burrito! Jaxon has been on CPAP since January 1st, so I'm anxious for him to get off it. We haven't really got to see his face without something on it since then, and I'm sure a lot has changed in 28 days!





Gavin is now 3 lbs. 4 oz. He is doing great on CPAP! Which makes us soooo happy. He's given us the most "trouble" so it's nice to see him doing good off the ventillator. He doesn't seem to mind the CPAP too much. I'm sure it feels much better than being rattled all the time by the oscillator from the vent. We also got to hold him for the first time this weekend. He was always so tempramental so we were never able to hold him. So finally after 8 1/2 weeks, we were able to hold him, and he loved everyminute of it (so did we) if I do say so myself! :)




And Jacee is now 3 lbs. 15 oz. She also gets to be in a crib and wear clothes now. So cute!!! Usually when they are 4 lbs. they get to be in a crib, and she is close enough and can maintain her body temperature so she got put in one yesterday. Yay!!! She doesn't care for the CPAP. She tries to rip it off every chance she gets! But I thinks she's starting to get used to it now. :)



And Dax went on a fieldtrip last week with his preschool. They went to the Union Station. He had lots of fun!!!


Well, that's about it for today. I really am going to try to update this often, really! Please feel free to leave comments, we love to read them! And tell anyone you want about this blogpage, I know a lot of people ask about these cuties!!!! And thanks for everyones thoughts and prayers! We appreciate it more than you all know.

Dax isn't able to visit the babies since it's RSV season, but he is so excited for them to come home (though I'm sure that will change once they come home ;) ) and he couldn't be prouder. He is always telling people that he has babies, three of them, two boys and one girl!

Triplets are growing!!

This is Jaxon and he now weighs 4 lbs!! He has tape on his nose from his CPAP gear (it's oxygen and pressure) Doesn't he look like Aaron? :)

This is Jaxon with all the CPAP gear on...it squishes his face :(

Here is Gavin, he now weighs 3 lbs 2 oz!! He isn't on the CPAP yet, he is still on a ventillator...but hopefully he'll be put on the CPAP soon!
This is as close to holding Gavin as we can get, but hopefully we'll get to hold him soon!

Here is Jacee and the cute bow that Aunt Amber made! She now weighs 3 lbs 11 oz!! She wasn't on the CPAP in this picture (which was 3 days ago) but they put her on it today. She is posing for the picture...such a princess already :)

Here is me holding Jacee. She got a new clean isolette so I got to hold her while they changed beds..yay! :)


I'm going to try to keep up on this blogging thing! It only took me 8 weeks to start one, so we'll see how I do!! :)
