Today was Quin’s long awaited debut at the NICU. She was so excited to see her new sisters and brother. She has been working on saying Ellery and Easton’s names as they are a bit easier for her to say than Gianna. She was very interested to see the babies, and attempted to kiss them each. Once we brought Quin to each of their isolates, she could only say “more babies”. The nursery has 8 babies total in the room and Quin wanted to peak at all of them. Of course, 3 babies are enough for mommy and daddy. As soon as they come home, I am sure she will change her tune and want us to bring them back.
Gianna has been doing great with her breathing, so they actually took her off the ventilator and back on the CPAP. They did this while we were there this morning, so we were able to see her face for the first time without the hoses/tubes. Here is a picture that we were able to snap after they took out the ventilator, and before putting the CPAP back on.
Easton is still doing well on his ventilator and was taken off his bililight. This gave us one of our first opportunities to see his eyes.
Ellery continues to be the champ. She may be the smallest, but is still breathing on her own.
Joelee will be discharged tomorrow (Monday). We will spend most of the day in the NICU with the triplets, but look forward to going home to spend some much needed time with just the three of us!
