We have moved!

About a week and a half ago, the doctor wrote orders for Grace and Colin to graduate to the Progressive Care Nursery. The NICU staff knew it would be challenging for us to juggle having babies on two different floors in the hospital, so they left Grace and Colin in the NICU until Cash was ready to move.  On Tuesday, Cash got his orders to graduate!

Tuesday night, the babies left the "Williams Wall" in the NICU for their own room in the Progressive Care Nursery.

The nurses explained that their goal in the NICU is to stabilize the baby, while their goal in the Progressive Care Nursery is to get the baby (and parents) ready to go home.  Preemies usually go home close to their due date.  The triplets were due on September 4th.  So, if all goes well, we have about a month of work ahead of us to get the babies ready to go home.

On Thursday night, the babies moved from their isolettes to open-air cribs!  Colin and Grace tried open-air cribs last weekend, but they weren't able to maintain their temperatures, so they had to go back into the isolettes.  So far, this time around, all of the babies have been able to keep their temperatures up!

And because I can't end a post without including their sweet faces...

Colin, Cash, and Grace.  My first time holding all three together!
