They're finally here!

They're finally here! Alexander Baron and Logan Karl Bennington entered the world at 4:50 pm Sunday, October 14. Nicholas Andrew was only one minute behind.

Alex: 4 lbs, 9 oz. 17 3/4 inches long. Peed first. Blond and tiny.

Nick: 5 lbs, 10 oz. 18 inches long. Most hair.

Logan: 5 lbs, 3. oz. 19 1/4 inches long. Most problems. :)

In general, the boys are doing great. All the docs and nurses are really impressed they are in such good condition for triplets, but then they stayed in a very long time for triplets. They all had low blood sugar when they came out, so the docs gave them some sugar water to suck down and they were fine. Poor Logan, however, seems to have blown a hole in one of his lungs. Nothing serious, the docs say, and not uncommon. Something about their first cry when they come out and negative pressure sometimes pops a little whole. So they have Logan hooked up to an IV through his head of all places. Apparently this is actually a really good place to put it in babies because they can't get at it. Tiff and I have fed each of them at least once and have held all of them.

Tiffany is recovering pretty well. She's sore. And the pain meds they were giving her were making her itch, so she really didn't sleep well last night. They switched her to something else tonight. She's been up and walking around a little and when I left this evening she was taking a shower.

Everyone is due to come home on Thursday.
