We survived our first night home alone

1:49 pm CDT August 1, 2008
Well last night was the first night that Clyde went back to work since the babies came home last week. I was a little nervous, only because the babies seem to be more fussy at night and there are three of them and I only have 2 arms. Well we survived. The 3am feeding was the worst, they were all crying but I just did my best and worked my way down the line and everyone was happy by 3:35am and asleep by 3:45. I think we will be fine from now on, the first night is always the most scary. We had our second visit from a visiting nurse and the babies are doing great and gaining weight. Ella is up 4oz from Monday to 4lb 15oz, Jackson is up 2oz to 5lb 1oz and Cooper is up 4oz to 3lb 13oz. The nurse said they like to see a 1/2-1oz gain per day, so Ella and Cooper have gaines 1oz per day and Jackson 1/2oz per day. Here are a few pics of the kids:) Off to feed the trio, I will update again soon.
