Owen Breathing on his own

Owen Breathing on his own

It's been another interesting week in the sphere of the Forness triplets and Mom and Dad. 

I took Monday and Tuesday off work expecting baby Owen to have surgery to put his stoma back together.  We were told last week that he would have surgery on Monday August 3rd.  Something wasn't sitting right with me on Friday, it just felt off.  Well, when I went to the hospital after work, I realized why.

Owen In A Crib

Owen In A Crib

The Tres Bambinos are nine weeks old today, or 36 weeks for you guys keeping score gestationally.  They've come such a long way in this time.  Everyone has more than doubled their weight:

On Thursdays I post updates on how my baby triplets are doing.  Owen, Noah and Bella thank you for reading…

Owen Being Bottle Fed

Owen Being Bottle Fed

Owen, my man.  He's made tremendous progress in the last few days.  Yesterday was the first day that he was bottle fed.  Twice a day, for a few minutes we try to get him used to getting his food from the bottle.  Let's just say that, he'll take some getting used to it.  I held him with the bottle for about ten minutes and he took about a dozen half-hearted sucks at it.  Unfortunately, the milk made it down the wrong pipe and so he had to be coaxed to cough it up.  But hey, it's another milestone.
Nikki had spent most of the day with them and I came up a bit later to find that they moved Owen out of the isolette and INTO A CRIB!
The nurses didn't tell Nikki they were going to do that so when I walked in and saw the crib in the corner, I thought they had moved my baby.  A pleasant surprise when I walked over to see his beautiful face.  He's at 4lbs even tonight.

Owen pissed about the Flash - for the 4th time

Owen pissed about the Flash – for the 4th time

I enjoy writing late at night.  The house is quiet and the city sleeps.  Usually I am so god-awful tired by the time I sit down to write that I can barely keep my eyes open.  The result is, you have to sit through my musings before getting a baby update.

Owen's Screw Face impression

So I’ve been thinking a lot lately…not sure if that's a good thing…for the sake of discussion we'll pretend it is.

We got a call yesterday from the hospital that Noah wasn't tolerating his food again and that they had taken three X-Rays throughout the day, all pointing to him having NEC (Necrotizing Enterocolitis).  Essentially, Necrotizing means that your tissue is dying, and Enterocolitis refers to the inflammation of the small and large intestine.

This picture was taken Sunday, July 5th.  Noah was sprinting four hours a day and was just about to go on maximum feeds which is the last step the baby takes before they take him off the supplemental lipids.  It's a nice milestone and we had such a good day with him.  He was very awake during the hour Nikki held him, and she even held him while he fed.  A great day, right?
