Olivia, Hunter, and Cooper

Hello all...mommy here! Tonight is my first night home. As much as I miss my sweet little miracles, it's nice to be home and see my house. It's going to be even better sleeping in my own bed with my husband. I was sleeping on the couch for so long. I got on the scale tonight and have lost 54 pounds so far......insane! I know you really want to see pics of the babies, so I will post a few.Here is sweet Olivia. She is doing much better....just trying to gain weight and finish her bottle on her own. She gets a little sleepy still while eating, so sometimes she has to finish her bottle through a tube. She is just as cute as can be.....but awfully feisty!
Hunter is doing great. He has no tubes, and always finishes his food. He seems to be pretty mellow, but doesn't really like being alone in the crib. Since he eats so quickly, he is often put back in the crib, while his brother and sister are still eating. This seems to be the only time he gets restless. He would probably be able to come home in the next couple of days, but we decided to keep them all together until all babies get to come home. They really don't like to be separated.
Cooper is by far the most mellow and sleepiest baby. He would MUCH rather sleep than eat. He tends to play tricks on us while he's eating and we think he's sucking away, but when we check his bottle, the volume remains the same. He thinks this is funny, as he often follows with a smile. He is our slowest eater, but is getting better each day.

Nate and I will be going back and forth to the hospital while they continue to learn to eat well. Once Olivia and Cooper pick up their eating, they will be home with mommy and daddy. We can't wait. Thank you to all of you for your prayers and congratulations. Nate and I feel so incredibly blessed, and couldn't be happier. We love you all!

Those babies are just precious. I have been reading your blog for awhile now since you went in to have them. I am on the BFP-Infertility TTC board on babycenter and everyone was talking about how you had the babies. I think your story is incredible. Take care and good luck with your new little ones! pam

Sally, you did an awsome job cooking those big babies!!! They will be home before you know it and you world will change more than it already has. For the good of course:) That's great that they are letting all three stay and come home together. Mine came home together and they said that NEVER happens. Try and rest while you can now. I know easier said than done, but I didn't rest much the 16 day's mine were in the NICU and I payed dearly for it when they came home.
