Triplets at The Bee Folks

I have been rather negligent on the blog over the last few months, but I have a good excuse!

I have been very pregnant, and on August 3, 2008, I delivered identical male triplets! They were 29 weeks 2 days when delivered, and we expect them to remain in NICU until sometime in October. But, they are relatively healthy, with only "normal" preemie problems (apnea, jaundice, etc.) and are progressively getting better.

The pics below show them at birth - they are already off the breathing tubes and IV's. They are still in incubators, they are fed milk through feeding tubes (they are still learning to swallow), and their pulse, heart rhythym, and breathing rate are constantly monitored by machines. However, we are allowed to hold them, they open their eyes at familiar sounds (including our voices), and can track fingers in front of their faces. In general, given their age, they are doing extremely well, and we are very happy with their progress.

Please help us welcome:

Lori and Dave,
Congratulations! I had lent out all my boy baby stuff to friends and family. I told them of your new brood and they promptly went in their attics to fetch baby clothes. So... I have some already-been-loved baby boy clothes to help get you started. Remember, my first boy was very small and wore premie clothes for 2 monthes. These will probably be perfect for a few monthes. Everyone has agreed to give back all clothes when they are done and I will then forward them to you. You will eventually have clothes from 7 boys. I think that should keep the baby bees clothed for a while. Please call to let me know when you would like shipments to begin.
Terri Kent
you know the number.
