the babies are continuing to do well, praise the Lord! we feel so completely blessed to have three precious daughters. they have graduated off of having IVs, which is one less cord to maneuver when holding them. plus the IVs had a tendency to go bad so they were always having to relocate them (Samantha at one point had one in her precious little head, which was not fun for me!). anyway, they are gaining back some of the weight they lost and Keegan has even graduated to an open crib because of her weight. the doctors are projecting another two weeks in the hospital. Keegan needs to feed from a bottle more than she is right now and Samantha and Maggie need to gain more weight before being able to come home. We appreciate every one's prayers as this back and forth stuff is already getting old fast. But the nurses have been wonderful to the girls and we are so thankful for that.
A highlight for me so far was getting to hold all three girls yesterday. It was incredible. As they were laying on my stomach, we could not get over the thought that all three of them were inside of me a week ago and actually fit in there. I feel so relieved to have them here and not still inside.
Here is a picture of Thad holding Keegan and Samantha tonight. What a Daddy!!! He is so good with his girls.

We're SO EXCITED for the new VanHaitsma family....I was bawling like a baby when I read the first posting. I think Nate even shed a few tears. :) Our prayers have been answered and the girls are just beautiful; I can't wait to see them all. We sent out an email about the news and to check the blog, and we've gotten several responses back saying to pass the congrats onto you guys. We love you so much and can't wait to talk with you when you've got more time.
Love, Nate and Jessa
