Heather's Triplets

I am happy to announce that on May 2, 2000, my sister had triplets. Three girls and all beautiful.

Mom and babies are all doing great. In fact as of Thursday, May 4, two of the babies were taking from bottles. Only one baby was put on oxygen. I like to think that that is because she was screaming so much when she was born that she had a difficult time catching her breath. None of the babies had to go on respirtors or in incubators, even being born 7 weeks early. Here are their stats:

Raquel Victoria
born at 3:11am
4 lbs. .08 oz 16.75 in.


Brietta Madelaine
born at 3:12 am
3 lbs. 7.5 oz  16.5 in.

Cheyenne Lorraine
born at 3:13 am
4 lbs.  16.5 in
