After seven weeks, all three babies are home!!!!! The girls came home a week ago Saturday, and Tyler came home on Tuesday! They are all doing SO well! We realized on Tuesday night how much harder triplets are than twins! We didn't have enough hands to feed, burp, diaper, snuggle, etc. everyone at the same time! It's still a work in progress, but we're getting better each day! Each feeding takes at least one hour (more on that later), and they eat every 3-4 hours which leaves about 2-3 hours of sleep in between. That is provided no one wakes up with a dirty diaper, no one has an upset tummy, no one needs to be repositioned, no one needs to be re-swaddled, no one loses a pacifier, no one barfs, no one gets the hiccups...you get the picture. Since they eat at least 6 times per day, we try and get all 18 bottles ready for the next day before we go to bed! I can't even count how many diapers we go through each day! Regardless of the craziness, we are so blessed to have these three awesome miracles!
Here are a few photos! I think our Cincinnati crew will recognize the Nike outfits! Thanks guys - they look adorable in them! Sorry it's taken so long to get them posted - I'm sure you will forgive me!

OMG - could they be any sweeter? I don't know if anyone's told you both, but man, you did real good work! It's so good to hear they're thriving and all at home with you where they should be. The most important thing is that they're home with you...you'll get the schedules down later! I mean, you have years to work on it, right??? Love to all of you, Cyd
