Are all three home now? If so, how's it going? I'm hoping by the time V comes home we will have a routine down and she just slips right in. Ha!

Sorry, I just saw this!!
Yup, they all are home! Val came home last Sunday, so only a week behind the others. Thankfully since we had the other two on the NICU's schedule we just kept going with that and they're all on the same schedule for the most part.
I honestly find it easier to have 3 at home because the NICU was so exhausting!! How are yours doing?? How's V - any idea when she might be on her way home?
We've pretty much kept the two at home on the NICU schedule as far as length between feeds (no longer than 4 hours between) but its hard to keep the set times. Because your LO weren't as early as mine I dont know if you have as many appts but they have weekly pedi appt (I'm sure you do as well), weekly eye exams, and a cardiologist appt so it makes it difficult to stick to the 8,12,4,8 schedule.
Aww, good luck to her on her shots!!
Yeah, it's hard to keep on that same exact schedule, but we managed for the first day she was home and then she fell in with the rest of them. I think she enjoyed not having the food shoved down her throat at exactly the 3 hour point if she didn't want it yet
Wow - weekly appointments? That's gotta be tiring dragging them both out for that!! Other than our 48 hour weight check, the next appointment we have is at 2 months (so in about 4 weeks). Crazy... I almost feel like I *should* be going more often though!
