Both Charlie and Lily are settled nicely into their isolettes. Lily’s nurses decorated her new little house in all pinks, and Charlie is now surrounded by light blues. It’s nice to see the stereotypical baby gender colors in full force! They each received their last doses of neoprene, which is the drug that is supposed to shrink the ductus valve in their hearts. No word yet on when they’ll have an echocardiogram to check. If Annaleigh’s infection goes away, she can get herself on that medicine too.
The nurses gave us some of the babies’ laundry to do. They give it to the parents so that it doesn’t get mixed in with all the hospital laundry and lost. Brooke walked around with Lily’s little purple blanket all afternoon, and I’ve had her tiny pink washcloth on my shoulder since the nurse gave it to me a few hours ago. I expect us both to sleep with these trinkets tonight. It makes us feel a little like they’re here, even though we know they’re so far away.
Luckily, there’s nothing else to report. And in this case, no news is definitely good news. So instead of writing a bunch, I’m just going to post some extra pictures!

Diapers off to Annaleigh for pooping and way to go to all three for a great day!!!!!! Keep it up Little D's!!!!!
I'm so happy to hear that everyone is doing ok!! And that Annaleigh's infection is clearing up!
When our trio was in the nicu, I'd take their extra little hats home with me so I could smell them while I was away from them. So I know exactly what you mean. ^_^
Your babies are doing so amazingly well! The last thing I do before I go to bed each night is check on your little ones. ^_^ Thanks for keeping us updated!!

OMG Annaleigh - I am sooooooooooo proud of you and sooooooooooo happy. Oh God - tears again - happy ones..... Keep it up my little angels.
I just love the way Lily lays - she seems to just want to be free and stretch. Love to all of you.

I just looked at the pictures again - I think Lily's smiling because she's touching you Brooke.
Cherish that - Cherish it all.

Charlie is adorable. He has very expressive eyes.
The pictures are wonderful. Congrats to Annaleigh on the first poop! The prayers will continue. You have three terrific fighters on your hands and I am so thrilled for you that they continue to thrive each day.

Yay for poop! ;)
Great pictures and great news. I LOVE the picture of Lily and Mommy's hand. Precious!
wow they are beyond teeny! You can really tell with the hand on the hand! I'm glad that they're doing well though and that you have two that have "graduated" to isolettes. YAY! : )
YAY for poop! I am actually a friend of Lauren's and my husband and I check your blog everyday and are thinking of you all. Welcome to the poop filled world of parenting!!!
Yay for Anneleigh pooping! :) You never know how much you can care about poop until you become a parent.
I can remember bringing my son's little mittens, socks, and blankets home to sleep with because they smelled like him. Your babies are beautiful & I am so glad they all seem to be doing well!
Hee hee, I still like to snuggle up with some of Ryan's stuff. :)
Yay for poop!
What a terrific little tribe! Love the updates. I'm keeping these babies on my mind and sending all of the best to them in my thoughts and prayers. LOVE that you get to do some of their little laundry... I would definitely sleep with their blankies too! I have been known to even obsessively "sniff" my kids and their stuff (o: Weird right? You just love them so much!!! You just can't get enough. They're such a gift...
Great news that all is going so well,
Lori
