NICU Reunion


We went to the NICU reunion this past weekend and it was pretty crowded! It was outside and boy was it hot! The babies arent used to being out in the hot mid day sun for a long period of time. They were great despite the circumstances. We saw another set of triplets who were a few months older than ours. We also saw a family with their baby that used to be a neighbor to the babies while in the NICU. He was a 24 weeker, so I was glad to see that he had made it and was out of the hospital. We were a little disapointed that we didnt see many of our nurses, it was so crowded and chaotic. I think the kids would have enjoyed it if they were older since there were a lot of activities for kids, bouncy rooms, huge blow up slides, fishing for prizes, games, snacks, etc. However we attracted the usual gawkers and stakers and the questions began..."oh do you have triplets?", "Oh my goodness, TRIPLETS!", "And I thought twins was bad enough", "Oh you have your hands full!", "Did you know you were having triplets?", "What are their names?", "God Bless You", "Are they boys, girls, what?", "I'm a twin" or "My daughter has twins, etc", "Can you stop for a minute so I can see?", "I've Never seen triplets before!", "What did they weigh?", "Do twins run in your family?","Better you than me!" and my favorite of the day "Are they natural?" which we responded with a "Nope, they're not real babies"
