One Month down!

Owen, Lyla & Noah are 1 month old today!!

They're all home and doing really great! Owen & Lyla came home on Weds August 3rd, and Noah folled that Sunday, August 7th! We are so excited that they came home so quickly! The week the came home they were moved to the Special Care Nursery at Highland Hospital, they really pushed the feedings by bottle, and that really helped them to come home so soon!

Each of them has their own little personality. Owen is a HUGE pound bigger, than his little brother, and eats like a champ! He's taking 3oz each feeding and eats almost every 3.5-4 hours like clockwork. Lyla is between 2-3 oz and we decided after a few days of feeding her every hour or 2, that we will just let her DEMAND her feeding, basically screaming to eat, that way she'll take 2+ ounces and then be satisfied for at LEAST 3 hours, if not a little longer. She's got a really loud cry, so we really know when she is truly hungry! Noah is the smallest, but eating 2oz per feeding. Since he is smaller, we do wake him every 3.5 hours if he doesn't on his own. He's on a higher calorie mixture of the formula, so he's having some trouble with keeping it down, spitting up a lot, and having possible reflux issues. He's now on meds for the reflux, so hopefully over the next week we'll see some improvements.

My WONDERFUL mother is basically living with us during the week. She's been here since Noah came home and Andy returned to work on Tuesday, Aug 9th. She helps me all day long, and wakes up with me in the overnights, and we take turns with feedings. I love having her here, but she can't do it forever. I hope she enjoys being around as much as I love having her! She is really helping us so much!

Emmalee loves her little brothers and sister. She thinks they are "sooo cute"! She loves to softly touch their heads, and point to all their body parts. Especially their eyes! If they're sleeping she yells: "Wake UP!" It's really cute now, until they really start waking up when she does it, right?!

I can't believe they're a month old already! It's flown by!
