Belated update

Sorry for the delay in updating. Life has been hectic with a lot of trips back and forth to the hospital. Sandra has been home since Wednesday and the babies have now got names and are doing well.

The babies are named Colin Alfons (Baby A), Keith William (Baby B) and Evelyn Rose (Baby C). Despite initial difficulties Keith has made significant progress in the past couple of days and I got to hold him today. Sandra got to hold Evelyn a couple of days ago. All the babies are being weaned off their breathing assistance and none are intubated at this point. They are all also being fed through tubes to get their innards working, and Evelyn is actually almost up to a full feed by this point.

Here are some pictures of the three of them:

This is Colin, with quite a number of tubes and wires. He has twisted his hat around his head, so you can see his blonde hair.:



This is Evelyn off of her breathing assistance. The little thing on her nose is to prevent irritation from the prongs that they put into the babies' noses for the CPAP (which is a positive pressure breathing assistance).:



Here is Keith looking at the cold, cruel world through a jaded eye. He is wearing his chicken mittens because he likes to unhook himself from his machines. As you can see, he was born with a significant amount of blonde hair.:



This is Colin, looking surprisingly casual. It is rare to find him not in motion. He is under UV lamps to get rid of jaundice that occurs in premies because of immature liver function:
