Today my mom and I spent the day with the triplets in pod 5 (which is a level 2 nursery). It is a much calmer environment for all three of them. They were moved to co-sleep last pm. It was adorable to see all three sleeping together in a large crib. They seem so content to be sleeping with one another again. Chloe and Cooper are starting to get interested in sucking during their tube feeding, which is a good sign they will begin to feed with bottle starting earlier next week. Carter remains mellow during his feed and has no interest in sucking at this point in time. They all continue to gain their weight back. Carter is now 3 pounds 4 oz, Chloe 3 pounds 10 oz, and Cooper is 3 pounds 15 oz. Another great thing about today is I was able to kangaroo hold each of them during their feeding time. My mom (Vovo) held Chloe today for the first time, which was a nice bonding time for them. Marvin is planning to go and see the babies after work tonight. We are planning on Jackson returning to see his brothers and sister over the weekend. He asks about them daily, but has not asked to go to the hospital, so we are going to continue to make his visits minimal to prevent all those germs!!!

Thank you for all your prayers and support during this time, we truly appreciate it. I included a picture of the 3 sleeping together.

Love,

Denise
