One Week Old

On their first week birthday Sam surpassed his birth weight and now weighs 4lbs 2oz. The girls are both at their original birth weights and new even Sophie is off of her photo-therapy. Laney started nursing three days ago. So far it's just practicing since the babies are all too small but their getting better each day. She says it's a "sweet experience." All of their feedings are increasing. Sam is at 38 ml. Julia is at 29. Sophie is taking 8.

All is going extremely well and one nurse said that we could possibly bring home Sam and Jules as early as two weeks form now. [crossing fingers].

One of the nurses thinks that Sam looks like his daddy. They say Sophie is small but mighty. Julia some how always manages to get a leg free and sprawled out.

It's hard for us to leave at night. We know that we have to take care of ourselves so that we can take care of them but leaving them behind hurts. Hopefully it won't be for too much longer.
