Congratulations on your three precious littles. It is inspiring to see them and you fighting so hard. Y'all are doing fantastic. I'll be praying very hard that you keep your strength up mentally and physically and that the babies get the best treatment possible.
I don't think I posted here but Gracelynns lung collapsed this afternoon and she had to have a chest tube
I just brought the NICU a bunch of my colostrum and checked on the babies. All three are doing very good at this time. They are hoping that Nataleigh will be back on a normal vent Instead of the high oscillating one tomorrow. They were able to turn Nolan's settings down just a bit and he's peeing again and even had his first dirty diaper which is great. Gracelynn is ok. She's relaxed and comfortable now. She is still on the same settings but they were able to go down a little on the bp meds and her gasses are looking much better.
I am doing ok. They think I should be able to be discharged tomorrow pending a few dr appts being scheduled and med changes etc. I'm slowly starting to heal and my heart is doing a little better but still being monitored 24/7. Pumping is going ok. Still waiting on my milk but the babies get my colostrum every two or three hours so it's great knowing I'm doing something, even tho it's small, to help them.
I'm going to try to sleep a little bit before we start another fresh day. Can't believe my babies are already three days old. I still feel like I should be pregnant!

Beautiful pictures of beautiful babies I'm so glad that they seem to be doing better. The NICU is a roller coaster, and I'm sure you'll go through many more ups and downs before you go home. Nothing can prepare you for the emotions of having your babies outside of you but not being able to hold them much or help them other than pumping, and I say that as a mom of a 34+1 baby, so a completely different ballgame. I can't even imagine how much it's amplified with 3 babies born so much earlier.
Keep us updated when things are calm and you've got a minute to spare - we're all thinking of you and your babies.
They're beautiful and so are you! Look at that love on your face it's the best look! I'm so glad you are feeling better. Keeping you all in my thoughts.
You and your sweet babies are beautiful! I'm glad things are starting to look up! You are a Rockstar!! The colistrum is so nutricious for your babies! You are doing great!! Keep it up! It took a good 5 or 6 days for my milk to come in after my csection with DS. I remember being wheeled from my room to the NICU to see DS and the emotions that come with that. I'm sending prayers for you all! You've got this!

You and those babies are so amazing! Thank you for sharing pictures! You look gorgeous and so in love! I'm glad you have been able to hold Nataleigh. The pumping you are doing is awesome and will be incredibly helpful for them. Thank you so much for the update and all of you will continually be in my prayers.

I am constantly thinking of you and your babies and feel so blessed you shared their beautiful pictures with us. You are doing so much by pumping and giving them any milk/colostrum you can. Your milk will come in.
I pray your babies get stronger each day and your recovery continues to improve. You and your babies are so strong, and you look gorgeous!!
