On Sunday, March 25 Harper finally hit the 4 lb. mark, Addison was 4 lb. 3 oz, and Emery was 4 lb. 9 oz.
This seems to be FINAL EXAM WEEK for the girls. Sunday Mommy and Daddy watched the car seat safety video, Monday the girls had their eye exam which was normal but needs to be re-checked in one week, Tuesday they had their hearing test which they passed and received a certificate. Wednesday they passed the big car seat challenge where the girls had to be in their car seats for one hour without their monitors going off. Friday was training day for the monitors. This week Addison and Emery both had apena or brady episodes, so they will have to come home on monitors. Harper needs to make it to Sunday without any episodes to come home without a monitor. We had been praying that all three girls wouldn't need monitors. The more we have thought about it, we feel like this may be God's way of helping save their lives and He is providing the medical technology that will help them and us one day. It looks like two and possibly all three will need monitors for at least six weeks and this may depend on our pediatrician's decision too.
On Saturday night, Mommy, Daddy, Addison, Emery and Harper will stay in the care-by-parent room. It is a special hotel style room in the NICU for parents to do a trial run to see what it would be like at home. Hopefully we can bring home all of our girls home Sunday!
Addison, Emery and Harper... Welcome to the real world outside the hospital. May God's angels always surround you as you begin your journey. We pray we will have the strength to raise sweet and beautiful girls and not let you date until you are at least 21. Don't worry...big brother Caden will be watching out for you too!
