I cannot believe our babies are already a month old! It seems like just yesterday I was laying in the hospital just praying they would come and now they are growing so fast and I am again reminded of how blessed we are. Addison is such a sweet baby who rarely cries but when she does she lets you know she is not happy, most of the time its to let you know she wants food! Bryce is still a very laid back baby and he is becoming our little chunky man, I'm not sure how much he weighs but he is definitely heavier. I probably shouldn't worry because he is gaining weight but Bryce has become difficult to feed, half of his bottle ends up down his chin and on his clothes and he gags like he is choking. I've switched to slow flow nipples to see if that helps. Collin is putting on the pounds too and catching up with the other two. Now that he gets more food per feeding he sleeps better, lets hope things stay that way when he comes home (hopefully FRIDAY)! Basically our kids like to eat! Mommy and Daddy don't get much sleep but love our babies so much. Daddy keeps hoping that the babies will sleep through the night soon but I think we have a while before that happens, I keep reminding him we will get sleep again one day.
Because of Collin's low birth weight all three babies had to have eye exams so Wednesday we took Addison and Bryce to the ophthalmologist at Texas Children's and the doctor went to Collin's bed to examine him. The doctor checked to make sure the veins in their eyes are fully developed and all three passed. They will have to have a follow up appointment in two weeks but if they show signs of growth they will be released from ophthalmology. During our visit to TCH we also realized we are not going to be able to go places with our triplet stroller! We had a double stroller that we pushed around Wednesday and we had so many people commenting "are they twins", "what cute twins", "oh, look at the twins". We finally got to the point we stopped correcting people and telling them they are really triplets. I can only imagine what it will be like when we bring out the "limo" (our triplet stroller).

Great news that they are doing so well. Thanks for keeping us all up to date.
I had so much fun with you the other day. Thank you for letting me come play! Your babies are DARLING! XOXO
Wow, I can't believe they are a month old either! So glad they are doing well and their eyes look good! I will pray Collin comes home soon! Hang in there, girl. They will be sleeping through the night before you know it!
Hey! My youngest is almost 11 months old & it doesn't seem like it's been that long. He's been walking for almost 2 months now. A couple of weeks ago I babysat a little 1 month old & it had been so long since i had to take care of one that tiny, lol. Anyways when I was giving her her bottle she was doing the same thing (milk running down her chin & making choking noises). I had to remove the bottle from her mouth several times & retry finally after a couple of times she got her sucking down just right & she did great. I would try the slower nipples also, we had to use those mostly for my son. It's good to hear everyone is doing great & I hope you are doing great also
