Oliver James arrived at 4:06 AM. He measured 17 inches long and weighed 4 lb 1 oz.
Nolan Michael came next at 4:07 AM. He measured 16.25 inches long and weighed 4 lb 3 oz.
Lucas McRae made his arrival at 4:08 AM, measuring 16.5 inches long and weighing 3 lb 15 oz.
All three babies are doing great. At this time they are all breathing and eating with assistance. Oliver was able to breathe on his own since birth. Both Nolan and Lucas (the two identical babies) spent some time on the ventilator and CPAP, but are now breathing with just a little help from a nasal cannula tube. It sounds like Nolan will soon be weaned off the nasal cannula. Each baby is now being fed a very small amount of breast milk through a tube every few hours. They're gradually increasing the amounts as tolerated.
They'll likely be in the NICU for a few weeks, but we couldn't be happier with the progress they've made in the 11 days they've been here. These boys have been such troopers! We're so in love with them!
