Babies are all doing GREAT!

I know it's been a minute again since I have posted, but it has been a crazy time since the birth of the babies! They are all doing great at this point! Had a few infection scares, some low blood sugars, and Levi's PDA vessel in his heart came open, causing a murmur. Levi and Logan had to have Lumbar Punctures last week to check for infections because their bloodwork came back a little funny. That was scary! As of now, NO infections to be spoken of, Levi's PDA closed on it's own after 3 rounds of Indomethison, and ALL babies are now breathing room air on their own as of now!! YAY for healthy babies! Blood sugars have regulated on their own also. My lil ones are doing amazing for being almost 29 weekers!! We love them ALL soo much! I am one happy Momma!!

Matison is the strongest and biggest for sure. She has had ZERO scares and is getting the most formula at her feedings as of now. They MAY even let me start trying to bottle feed her as early as next week! She was actually SUCKING on a binki yesterday, which is supposed to be something they dont do until they hit 32 weeks or so! :) Here are a few pics of her...

Levi is also doing great! Besides his PDA that opened up causing them to stop his feedings, he hasnt had any problems at all either. The normal Brady's every now and then, but he's gaining weight FASTER than his sister and brother for sure... he is already up 7 oz from his lowest weight! :) He's my big boy!

Logan is the tiniest one and he's had the most difficulty staying on his feedings regularly. He is doing much better now. He was spitting up green stuff after his feedings so they had to keep holding them until they figured out what was going on. Turns out he probably has reflux so they are just watching him closely and doing belly x-rays to make sure his tummy and bowels are ok. I guess preemies can have bad problems from their bowels and intestines getting infected. Lets hope thats is not the case! 

He is so little even compared to his brother and sister... they both out weigh him by over 10 oz! He's my little Logan! He is practicing sucking his binki too!! :)

The babies arrived @ 28 weeks and 5 days!

Im sorry it has taken so long for an update but they are here! The last 4 days have been absolutely crazy! What I thought was a false alarm on the 17th of August turned out to be labor!! Started having pressure in my butt at around 7 am that morning... No contractions that I could feel... JUST pressure and a BIT of swelling in my face and hands. Had my mom take me to L&D to be checked out just to be safe. She just dropped me off and I went in alone! LOL When I got there and was first checked, cervix was long and closed. They hooked me up to the monitors and found that I was having contractions every 2-3 mins! Checked my cervix again an hour later... Still closed but softer and shorter. They decided to give me the steriod shots for the babies lungs, a muscle relaxer, and admit me for 48 hours for observation since my cervix was still closed. I called the hubby and had him come to the hospital since he was already in Ann Arbor working.
I got moved to my room and got comfy. By this time I had only been at the hospital for 2 hours. Then the resident Doc came in to check me one more time.... She didn't understand how my contractions were so regular and werent subsiding, but I had no dilation... She went in with her fingers and her face dropped!! She IMMEDIATELY told the nurses to get ready because baby A's foot could be felt inside of me!! WELL, after that it is all a blurr!!! C-section was coming and the babies were on their way! They were here an hour later!! At 7:00 pm Babies A & B entered the world and C came a minute later at 7:01pm on August 17, 2011!
