Triplet Update

I was able to go and see the triplets a couple times this week.  On Wednesday Jill (long time friend) and Savannah (sister-in-law) went down to see the babies.  Friday I drove Laura down early in the afternoon since she is still not able to drive due to her c-section.  It was nice to spend the whole afternoon with Laura and the babies.  

Laura had a very BIG milestone today, she was able to hold CJ in her arms for the very first time.  It was very emotional and touching.   Laura had to wait an entire week until she could hold one of her babies.  I believe it was definitely worth the wait!!!!  CJ loved hearing the sound of his momma's voice.  He kept opening his eyes and looking at her.  He is such a sweet and precious little guy!!

Ben also had a very good week.  He is now eating 4 cc's every 4 hours. Grow Grow Grow that is what we all have been hoping and praying for.  His PDA, or duct in his heart was the first to close.  Which is also very great news.  The other two boys had their echo today and received an "unofficial" review that their duct was also closed, but the cardiologist needs to review and provide his final input.  Here are some pics of Ben from Wednesday.  He was being a little bashful for the camera.

Austin is a little fighter!  He is back up to his birth weight.  The picture shows him with his billy sunglasses on, but he no longer needs those.  He is such a precious little miracle.  All three little guys had their brain ultrasounds this week and they all came back normal!!!  What awesome news!!!!

Jackson is such a good BIG brother!!  He has a lot to teach the triplets!  As always keep praying for these little cutie pies.  They had great success this week and the good news needs to continue!  Popelkas we love you!!!
