Day 48 in the hospital.  This morning we got to sleep in until around 6:45 AM.  We skipped the 5 AM feeding since Hayden was with us.  It was amazing to wake up with Hayden sleeping with us!  My Mom and Dad came over at 7:15 to watch Hayden since he was still sleeping so Sarah and I could go to the trips' 8 AM feeding.  We found out that all 3 ate great throughout the night and Hunter and Holden passed their car seat challenges!  Dr. K came by and said that the plan is for all 3 to discharge tomorrow!  Grandpa Don, Grandma Darlene, Bob and Nancy brought up my Grandpa and Grandma's truck to haul the trailer home.  They, along with my Mom and Dad, helped us pack most of our things up.  Hayden had fun with us today.  We have sure missed him!  Bob and Nancy took Hayden home with them and are going to keep him tonight.  My Grandpa and my Dad drove the trailer home and my Mom and Grandma did some errands for us.  This evening, Hadley passed her car seat challenge.  We had to borrow Katie and Kyle's car seat they have for Olivia in order to do Hadley's car seat challenge because the one we had for her is rated at 5 pounds (and she is not 5 yet).  Olivia's is rated at 4 pounds.  At 5 PM, all 3 trips nursed 18 ml from Sarah, then finished the rest with their bottles.  We love their Tommee Tippee bottles so far!  Sarah and I cooked some enchiladas Nancy made for us.  We cooked them in the common area in the guest housing.  We plan on going back to the 8 PM feeding to weigh them and feed them.  We plan on getting lots of rest tonight, so Sarah is going to pump throughout the night, and I will run over the breast milk for them.  That way, we can get lots of sleep tonight.  We will go to tomorrow morning's 8 AM feeding.  Wow, what a journey so far!  Tonight is our last night here at St. Vincent's!  We can't wait to bring our triplets home tomorrow.  Hayden will be anxiously waiting for their arrival!
