Three at Home

The last of the three little triplets, the sweet little boy got to go home yesterday. Now he is at home with his twin sisters, his mom and dad. It's hard to believe they are now a family of five! You can read all about them in my Finally Arriving post. Their grandmother and an aunt are going over to help them this weekend. Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers. And thanks to our God for hearing and answering them! I pray He will bless and keep their precious family.

Finally Arriving

Three Little Triplets!

9/12/07
8:47PM - a little girl - 4.5lbs., 17" long
8:49PM - a big little boy 5.1lbs, 18" long
8:49PM - another little girl 4.5lbs., 16 1/2" long
I hope the mother is doing well. No report on her yet,
In the message left for me.

You may remember this post I wrote about Eagerly Awaiting Triplets.

Thank you all for your prayers.

Next day update: Keep praying dear friends. The sweet mother is having a rough time. The little girls are fine, but the little boy is fighting his oxygen.

My brother, the grandfather just called again with names, and it sounds like they are all doing better.

Mom is doing just fine and is recovering from surgery. The two little girls are breathing on their own, and one is eating on her own. I think the little boy is off the oxygen and doing better. Praise the Lord.

The two grandmothers say the babies are so sweet and look like little dolls.

I went to the hospital later this afternoon, and could not believe the mother had gone home! But I am glad, since she has been in there for so long. It is sad though that the little babies are still in the hospital. I pray that soon they will be doing well enough to go home too. :o)

Keep praying for the three little babies and their feedings, Mom and Dad. The little boy needs prayer for his breathing. They are beautiful and healthy looking. Their mother is exhausted from going to the hospital once a day. She has a lot being discussed with her about the babies, and her feet are swelling. Her mother is with her, thank goodness. One grandmother said that when the babies hear her voice, or the other grandmother's, Mom's and Dad's, they try to open one little eye to get a glimpse of them. :o) Sweet little babies know who loves them so much.

Guess what! A precious little baby girl went home with her mommy and daddy! I am so happy. The other little identical twin girl will probably follow closely behind. We will keep praying the sweet little boy will get to go soon.

9/24/07
Sweet little baby sister went home yesterday! The two little girls are sleeping in the same crib. The little brother is improving, breathing on his own and eating on his own. He may get to go home a week from Wednesday. Mommy and Daddy are taking a class, while the two grandmothers babysit. :o) Thank our God for answering prayers.


Baby Prayer

We welcome three tiny babies,
Into this world today.
We pray God bless them and keep them,
Safe in His hand always.

Lord give their parents wisdom,
Patience from you alone.
Let peace abide in their family,
Thanks for your gift of love.

Song by Cathy

The hymn in the next post, "Now Thank We All Our God", I prepared in advance for this occasion.

Eagerly Awaiting

Triplets!

Baby Garden Sunrise


Our family is eagerly awaiting the arrival of triplets to my nephew and his wife. She has been resting in the hospital since a week and a half before the 28 weeks that the doctors wanted her to reach. They are hoping for 2 more weeks when they will be 30 weeks old. There are two little girls and a big little boy. :-) I would appreciate your prayers for a safe delivery by c-section and for healthy, perfect little babies, my dear friends.

Update: The 30 weeks have passed and they are still resting in the hospital. The little babies probably weigh around 3 pounds now. :-) Thank you for the prayers. She said "They are working."

Update: 31 weeks and going strong-
Hi everyone!
Here's the latest news on the "Little Triplets" -

Mother and the babies are 31 weeks along and still doing fine in the hospital. They had a sonogram on Thursday, and "Baby A" (girl) is 3 lbs., 7 oz. - she is in the head down "get me outta here" position and has been for a while now! I think she wants to be in place when the excitement starts happening. "Baby B" (girl) is 3 lbs., 6 oz. and is hangin' in there tight with her twin sister. She is still head down too, and second in line. "Baby C" (big boy) is 3 lbs., 10 oz., and he has decided to move to the head up position! (This is fine since Mother will be having a c-section.) The doctors are thrilled with how she is doing and how the babies are developing.

Thank you for your prayers. :-)
