Josiah, Lexi and Alana

The girls are doing incredible. Lexi & Alana are off the respirator and only on a small oxygen support. They are starting to take to small amounts of feedings. They still have IV pic lines to provide fluids and protein. The babies are right around their birth weights which is normal. The top picture is Alexa with Rebecca's hands helping cradle her. She was sleeping just like me with her hand under her cheek. Alana is the next picture with her little bum poking up in the air and a big diaper.




Josiah is still in need of the most support. He is off in the intubation respirator but is still on a mini respirator that keeps him breathing with regularity. The risk is that he forgets to breathe for a few seconds. Thankfully, he is the biggest of the three. Premie boys also always have the more trouble than premie girls. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers. He is in the bottom picture with my hand on his head.

Rebecca came home from the hospital today and she has recovered very well. She is not supposed to drive for two weeks so she might need some shuttling around. Let Susan or Rebecca know if you want to help. With my mom in town, we are pretty good for this week.

My Mom came into town Sunday morning and is pretty excited to offer help which we are grateful for. She is now a pro at navigating SF streets and even getting good with the San Jose area too!

I am already reaping the benefits of three babies!! Bill and I went to buy a camcorder at Best Buy and the sales rep gave me a great deal on a price match that he normally would not have done. I got a Newegg.com price at Best Buy which equates to almost 25% off! We got into Costco after they closed b/c we said that we had triplets just a few days ago. I can't wait to take them to church, work and down Irving street and show them off. Going to be a few months for that but it sure will be fun then..
