Our triplets were born on Sunday July 7th via c-section
At 9:36 the first incision was made and 6 minutes later at 9:42 Noah Levi was born.
4 minutes later at 9:46 Charlotte Abigail was born she wasn't crying but after a few seconds she did begin to.
And another 4 minutes later at 9:50 Lindsay Madeline was born screaming the loudest of them all! They are were then taken to the NICU right away so we did not get to see them.
Noah Levi at birth weighed 3lbs 10oz and was 16.5 inches long.
Charlotte Abigail at birth weighed 3lbs 8oz and was 16 inches long.
Lindsay Madeline at birth weighed 3lbs 6oz and was 15 inches long.
All 3 of them were on C-PAP's and feeding tubes. Noah and Lindsay also had jaundice so they had to both be under the lights for the first 4/6 days for each of them. Charlotte had hypoglycemia but her blood sugar levels quickly went up.
Noah was taken off of the lights on the 11th and was taken off his C-PAP on the 23rd. He could of come home then but he had some trouble gaining weight. He was taken off of the feeding tube the 29th and he came home the 30th!
Charlotte's blood sugar went up and stayed up finally for good on the 13th. Her biggest thing was remembering to breath which she often does forget to do. She was taken off her feeding tube on the 1st of August and now we are just waiting for her to regulate her breathing.
Lindsay was taken off the lights on the 13th and she was taken off her feeding tube on July 30th. Up until August 2nd she was having a very hard time breathing or remembering to breath. But she got it down and she came home Sunday!
They are a month old today and all 3 are doing fantastic! Hope you are all doing great! Lauren

Patiently waiting for little brother!
I hope you have lots of help; DH and I are exhausted just taking care of two. We were lucky and the girls were released from the NICU on the same day so we were never faced with having one at home and one still in the hospital. I can't imagine the extra stress of that! But pretty soon you'll have all three at home; that will feel amazing!
So happy for you!
