Today is July 13. The triplets are almost two weeks old and making good progress. They are all on room air, getting nourishment through feeding tubes inserted into their stomachs via the nose, and are getting to be on regular feeding and sleeping schedules.

He is the only one of the three not back up to their birth weight. Madeline continues to be the most "laid back". Gracie is the

We got word today that all three might graduate to the the next room of the NICU, which is where the babies go before getting to come home.

As you can see in the photos in this update, both the Dierking and the Kammer grandparents love to go to the NICU to hold the precious little additions to the families.
