A sweetheart of a week

Have I mentioned how awesome it is to have three babies home?  Well it's awesome.

We've had a busy 3 days adjusting and creating a workable system but we are getting there.  I've done a few feeds all by myself,  and all the babies made it through ok.  AND none of my neighbors called the cops with a noise complaint.  So I got that going for me :)

Our moms have been great - cooking, cleaning, doing laundry and dishes,  as well as feeding and holding babies.  We are also accepting help to hold, feed, and burp babies from any not sick, warm bodies. Apply within.

We had our first pediatrician appointment yesterday with all 3 babies. That was a task. I felt like Elizabeth Shue in The Adventures in Babysitting lol. Everything is looking good. Weights are good. Our only issue is some constipation due to the rice cereal they need for their reflux. If that's the worst, then awesome. I'm not shy to shove some glycerin where the sun don't shine :)

Since I am sacrificing sleep to write this blog post, I will wrap it up. Here are some pics. FYI anytime I take a group shot, I put them in order A, B, C. Sammy, Danny, and Elsie.

Danny is home!

Yaaaa! Danny is home! Miguel and I are over the moon to have ALL of our babies home! It was awful leaving him there on Monday and I missed him so much at home that it made his homecoming even more exciting. 

Yesterday, Grammie and Vavoa spent the day at the hospital giving him extra cuddles and spoiling him.  We are so lucky to have a great family that does so much for us.

Danny did have a spell on Monday night,  which set him back to day 0 and a Sunday discharge. I was heartbroken.  So I asked the doctor if they would send him home on a monitor and they said yes! I was so relieved! 

Elsie is also on a monitor that we were warned would go off all the time, and it has gone off only once on her first night home, for a real event. We use it in the car, and when she is sleeping in her crib. Otherwise, we just have her in sight. It gives us peace of mind when we are not staring at her.  Having two babies on monitors gives us double peace of mind.

Saying goodbye to our nurses today was bittersweet.  As excited as we are to leave the hospital, we are sad to leave our nurses.  We are fully aware that without them our babies would not be where they are today. Grateful doesn't even begin to cover it. 

Here are some pics from the day:

Welcome home Sammy!

Two down, one to go! Sammy was discharged today and came home to a relaxing evening of snuggles with aunties and Grammie visiting.

Danny is on day 3, and is on schedule to come home Wednesday if all goes well.  It was horrible leaving him alone at the hospital today,  but he has his regular nurses from now until his discharge so I know they will spoil him which gives me a little peace.
