Update

The kiddos are now 1 week and 2 days old. It is hard to believe that a week has already past. Their first Christmas was exciting with many gifts and their first pictures with Santa Clause. Santa visited the NICU Christmas Eve and had pictures with all the babies. For their first Christmas they each received a stocking filled with baby items and a little red beanie hat, along with fleece blankets from the hospital. Avery, Will, and Alivia are all doing excellent on Tuesday they had their IV's removed and are now being feed special milk and formula through nasal tubes. Having the IV's removed makes it a lot easier in holding them and picking them up with not having to worry about lines getting tangled. The goal now is to help them learn how to eat and just grow. They are all still just a little bit below their birth weight which the nurses say is normal up until about 10 days. They received their first baths yesterday which they seemed to enjoy. Until now they only received sponge baths due to the IV's they had. The goal in giving the bath is to be quick and efficient so their body temp doesn't drop from getting wet even though the water is warm. I'm constantly amazed at how strong they are especially when trying to change a diaper. We have already been going through the pictures we have taken so far trying to make sure we get the names right with each one. It is easy to tell them apart when looking at them in person but on some of the photos it's a little difficult. However Will does have is own little look as you will see in the photos. In addition to getting the IV's removed they are now all in the same big cradle reunited once again. Will is still in the middle of Avery and Alivia will have to post that picture but here are some other pics.
