We are still doing well! My parents are doing so much that I am able to rest. We are well fed, there are groceries in the cupboards, the house is clean, the dishes are done, the laundry is done, the babies are fed, changed and taken care of. It's fantastic. I'm feeling quite good, moving around a lot more and not really having any pain. I'm trying to eat lots (of healthy stuff!! Anyone want to come and eat all of our halloween candy?) so that I can get some energy back. I'm super tired of course but even that isn't too bad at the moment. The babies sleep all the time so this stage isn't too crazy yet :).
We have gone through many many diapers already - I haven't been counting but it's been a lot! And lots of sleepers too! The boys swim in their preemie stuff even. It'll be nice to see them fill those out.
The public health nurse had been here last friday and then came back today just to check the babies weights and in those two days Dylan had stayed about the same and the other two gained a little bit. I was really hoping not to see more weight loss as they had been losing every day including last friday. So - that's good. She suggested we feed them a bit more and we are still working out the whole feeding schedule and process. Dylan and Liam eat really well. Evan is having more trouble for some reason and sometimes just doesn't eat very much. He also seems more lethargic but we are starting to think he may just be more laid back than the other two.
For those who like details here are the babies weights now:
Dylan's birth weight was 6 lbs and right now he is at 5 lbs 10 oz.
Evan's birth weight was 5 lbs 4 oz and now he is at 4 lbs 13 oz.
Liam's birth weight was 4 lbs 14 oz and now he is at 4 lbs 10 oz.
So, that's today. Have I mentioned how happy we are :)
