Beans on a blanket

Five weeks: Avery, Beau and Quinn stretch out on the floor. 

Evan and Corrie have their hands full

They came all the way from California just for this.

Bath time

Beau is not so happy about the body scrub . . .

But he's down with a warm shampoo.

While Avery is fine with the whole deal.

Quinn gets extra Gigi time

Quinn missed the bus to home today. The docs wanted her to spend another day or two with the nurses. She did passed her car seat test this morning so she's booked to come home on Saturday.

The Beans come home

Kyle and Meegan brought home Avery and Beau this afternoon. Quinn will join them in a couple of days. It was a sweet and hectic homecoming for A & B who indicated they plan to stay a while.

Beau christens the changing table.

The Beans almost ready to roll

The Wee Beans have been cleared to come home this week, though one or two might need another day or two in the NICU. They are spending tonight with mom and dad in the hospital's test bedroom where new families get a to do an overnight dry run with nurses close by.

They also had to pass the car seat test in which they were required to remain buckled in and comfortable for 90 minutes. Look closely and you'll see that Avery is enjoying the scenery and acing her test while Beau and Quinn decided they could sleep through the exam and still get a passing grade. Wonder if that's an indication of their future.

With the triples heading home we will be closing down the Go Fund Me campaign where friends of Kyle and Meegan are contributing toward the cost of a three-seat stroller and three car seats. As of today, we have raised $1,662 - almost the full $1,800 that we set as our goal. If you or someone you know would like to chip in a few dollars, click this link before the end of this week.
