If all goes well Madison should be home by Monday or Tuesday. It was hard to leave Maddi alone at the hospital today- there was some comfort in knowing the girls were there together. Madison just has to go 3 more days, a total of 5, without a Brady (letting her heartbeat dip down low) and then she can come home too. We were so excited when we visited this morning and they said Caitlin could come home with us! It was my Mom, Ryan and I at the hospital so I called Joe and told him to get them video camera ready, we were coming home with a surprise. I think its God's way of easing us into the reality of triplets- add them to the mix one at a time!
As of yesterday, Caitlin weighs 4lbs. 10oz., Madison is 4lbs. 1oz., and Ryan is well- big (he hasn't been weighed lately, but I'm sure he's over 5lbs now.) We are so lucky that they are all doing so well with no long term issues. All of the concerns about Madison's health have been resolved. Her platelet count is now normal and she is doing really well. The doctor said she may continue to be smaller for awhile, but its nothing to worry about. It makes it easy for us to tell them apart!
People always ask how JP is adjusting to his new brother and sisters. He's actually doing very well. There are moments when you can tell he doesn't like sharing the attention, but he really loves his brother and has been really eager to give him his binky or let us know when he smells! He understands that he is the big brother and gets to do so many more things than they will be able to do for a long time, like t-ball which starts next week. We'll see how he does when the girls are here, but so far so good.
Caitlin (L) and Madison (R) made it to an open crib together on Monday.

Move over Ryan! This bassinet can fit us both!
