BUT, I am keeping up with the milk supply of 3 thriving lil babes! Evan weighed in last night over 5 lbs! Payton is doing great at 4lb11oz and Riley at a whopping 4lb4oz! No more 3 pounders ;) They all earned an increase in their feeding amounts by the Dr today so Mama may have to add another pumping session soon, or at least quit hitting the snooze button through a night session, oops.
On a sadder note, Payton is now flying solo again :( his oxygen stats have been dropping more than they'd like, even with the nasal cannula, so this bought him an inclined bed to see if reflux is causing the declines (his HR stays normal). I hope whatever it is it passes fast as we think Evan and Riley are soon to be knocking on the door at home pretty quick. I am not saying much else as I have been known to jinx good progress on this blog, argh!! We are lucky and happy to have Ben's parents here now helping us make the final preparations for the transition home. We enjoyed a delicious lunch at Papa Haydn's today- trying to get in some good food before the house arrest starts- thanks G&G Waind!! Which reminds me- we have dessert takeout to eat! (the horrendous pumping schedule allows for lunch out, but dessert too- that's pushing it ;) )

Hang in there! Boy does this all bring back memories! And a hate/hate relationship with the pump! Eat up girl! Great job on the supply! It's getting exciting to see their weights and start thinking of them coming home! Praying for Payton! Hugs!
