oh man have i mentioned how much i love having three girls!? its awesome and i had no idea i would love it so much. i mean i knew i would love being a mommy but i didn't know when we were wondering what we would have that i would enjoy 3 girls as apposed to other combos as much as i do :) that's why God knows best i guess.
i just got back from an excellent Carter's sale. i got sleepers for $5 each!! i had almost no 3mth clothes so that was super helpful. now we are set for the 3mth mark :) i really don't want them to be matchy matchy but i do like coodinating outfits. i find myself not wanting to get outfits if there are only two color varieties, which seems just as silly to me in a way. i mean why do they even have to have similar outfits at all? but i can't help it! anyways...
the girls are such troppers! All are over 6lbs! Fiona is at 20ccs of oxygen today which is practically room air, so the nurse said she will try her off oxygen today and see how she does. She is also taking 3 out of 4 feedings on a bottle and finishing them like a champ. Molly is not far behind. She is also doing 3 out of 4 bottle feeds and finishing most of them. She is on about 50cc of oxygen i believe. Oswyn is still on the high flow at 2 liters. Its better than 3liters, which is what she was on last week. Once she is on 1 liter they can try her on low flow oxygen like her sisters. She is allowed one bottle a shift-this is still a challenge for her with her high oxygen so she hasn't finished a bottle yet. but today the nurse said she got pretty close. She seems better than yesterday on oxygen too as the doctor ordered some doses of this stuff called lasix that helps get rid of extra fluid that can make it harder to breathe.
so proud of my miracle babies-making strides every day. we are now in june-my due date was june 30th-this is when doctors said they should be home by. we fully expect them to be able to do this. we think Fiona or Molly will be home soon. They are neck and neck it seems. Oswyn will be a little longer, but we think as soon as she can get on low flow oxygen she should be able to catch up quickly with the feedings. again, in order to come home babies must be at least on low flow oxygen, able to take all feedings by bottle and finish them, and pass a car seat test(they put baby in car seat for an hour and baby can not have any breathing issues in order to pass).
love the sweet smile on Fiona in this pic. And really love those cheeks, on all 3 of them. Erin you look great. BTW.
