This is Nuts

But in a good way.  Three kids, three separate medical plans, three nurses and three demands for breast milk.  

Kelly and I have adjusted, mostly, to this routine of visiting, asking questions, bonding and wondering what the next few days will be like for the kids.  

August update: He is nearly back to his birth weight and being fed 11cc's of breast milk every three hours.  He is breathing on his own and overall doing quite well.  

Olivia update: She is off of her billy light, used to treat bilirubin, and breathing on her own.  She's having a little trouble digesting the breast milk, but is typical of her lower weight.  Otherwise, she is great. 

Max update: He is on a little bit of oxygen, 15cc of breast milk every 4 hours and doing fine.  None of our nurses believe he's a premie because he looks so big.  Atta boy. 

Mike and Kelly update: Kelly is recovering quickly from her c-section and starting to pump.  We have an excellent problem of deciding how much time to allocate to which kid.  

Kelly ventured out into the great suburban jungle yesterday, her first foray into the world outside the hospital in 34 days.  We participated in the economy at Target and had some great sushi at our little spot in Iowa City, Sushi Popo.  

Since we're not up to a lot of visitors right now, how about a slideshow? 

Overall, we are doing well.  There is a fine line between being stressed out and feeling satisfied you've done all you can during the day.  We're walking that line, crossing over each way sometimes.  But what else is there to do?  If ever there was motivation to do something, three babies would be it.
