Quads Being Raised As Triplets: All three at once!!!!!

All three at once!!!!!

God smiled on me today I held all three pumpkins at the same time!!! :) Here are some updates!!!

Samantha - She is up to 4 lbs 5 oz. She is in the 50th percentile for gestational weight. (Where a baby should be at inside)

Bridgette - She weighs in at 3 lbs 4 oz.. Bridgette is less than 10th percentile fpr gestational weight. Starting tomorrow I will be giving her what is called the "Hind Milk" for her feedings. This is the last bit of pumped milk that contains the most nutrients. So the last few minutes of pumping I will switch bottles so she gets the most nutrient rich milk!!

Teddy - Weighs in at 3 lbs 9 oz. He is in between Samantha & Bridgette for percentile. So he may end up also needing the "Hind Milk".

As For Me - I was told again to keep what I pump at home in the freezer/ They are fully stocked. Right now I am producing almost twice as much as they eat. YAY me!!

Thank-You for all of the thoughts and prayers!!

"Keep The Faith"

Madeline

Our sweet Madeline Jean, had 8 very good days in the NICU. By day 3 Maddie had moved to high flow nasal cannulas for breathing, she was taking feeds and as spunky as ever. On day 8 she became ill, her stomac became enlarged, she was critcal, on day 9 the Doctors took a look inside and found all of her intestines and half of her stomac had died. We had her baptised and held her, as soon as she was in my arms skin to skin with me, we removed her breathing assistance and let her go very quickly and peacefully. We would later find that the cause of her death was NEC (Necrotizing Entrocolitis). We feel blessed to have had her for 9 days.
