Hello everyone! I bet many of you were wondering when the next blog posting would be. As we now have our hand full with Max, visiting Sebastian & Sydney, and have limited internet access, the frequency of our blog posting will be less for now. Only IF we had Wifi access at the Ronald McDonald House, then the blog posting would be more often.
Anyhow to the point of this blog. As of today (Sunday March 22nd), our precious triplets turn one month old! ALREADY! It feels like last week when they just came into our lives. Sigh... how quickly time flies. :-/
As you all know by now Maximillian was released on Thursday March 19th. Max came "home" with us to our room at the R-McD House. We fed him, changed him, rocked him for a bit, and then put him in the bassinet. After a few moment as Max was fast asleep, TJ and I looked at each other and we were like ""Okay now, what do we do?" ;-)
Our first night with Max was not an easy one as Max was fussy. It's a new environment for him compare to the NICU environment he has been accustomed to. It was also hard for us as we kept checking on Max every fifteen minutes and would be watching him like a hawk, worrying, and making sure he was okay. In addition to that, we were uncertain whether the crying signal system we had was working properly as it wasn't always going off when Max cried or fussed. I even wore my hearing aid to help hear Max whenever he cried or became fussy. When the crying system did go off, the bed vibration and siren would scare the sh!t out of me as it is extemely powerful and loud! We certainly didn't get much sleep that night.
Friday - our surrogate M came by to see all five of us. She brought us lunch from Chipotle! Thank you M!!! She couldn't believe at how fast time has gone by and will miss us when we head back to Phoenix. We will miss her as well! TJ and M went to see Sebastian & Sydney while I stayed back with Max.
Our 2nd night with Max was much better than the first night. We weren't as paranoid as we were the previous night. TJ figured out how to get the crying signal system to work and it works better now. Maximillian slept more and was less fussy. We also were able to sleep a bit more than the previous night. One thing to note about Max, his nickname "Mad Max" indeed suits him as Max will become fussy about the little things and will "fight" or become overly active such as become extremely red and pulling his hair or face if he doesn't get what he wants NOW! :-) Regardless, we are truly enjoying our time with Max and are eager for Sebastian and Sydney to join us at "home".
A friend, Resa, from college that we haven't seen in a few years stopped in to meet the babies and had dinner with us at the RMcD House. It was good seeing her.
As for Sebastian & Sydney, they are now over 5 lbs and both continue to improve with their feedings. Sebastian has his PCG (sleep test) on Sunday night. We are approaching their release date which (knock on wood) happens this week provided all goes well. We are very much ready to be home in Phoenix! Hopefully that will happen this week. Keep your fingers crossed!
More updates and pictures will come your way in a few days. HUGS to you all!
The 5 of US!
