Triplet updates (with pictures)

Well, as you can see, we don't post very often. It took us a long time to even be convinced to start a blog, and we are a bit busy, so...here's an update on the triplets.

The girls are doing great! They are all out of the incubators, and maintaining their own temperatures very well. The iv's are gone (mainly needed for feeding and antibiotics for the first week or so), Maddison is breathing room air, and Milley and Marley are on just very small amounts of oxygen. They are learning how to feed from a bottle and are making great strides with that. Just today, Kristin got Milley to take her entire feeding from the bottle, and Marley took all but 7 cc's. Maddison was a bit more stubborn, but is still doing well. They all have their own different personalities...Milley is quite mellow, Maddison is feisty and stubborn, and Marley seems to be in between the two depending on the day.
They are all gaining weight like crazy and are nearing the five pound mark. Milley weighs 4 lbs 10 oz., Maddison weighs 4 lbs 7 oz., and Marley weighs 4 lbs 8 oz.

Here are a couple of pictures of each of the girls. More to come.
