The babies are almost one month old! Well...this Thursday actually.
Some good news to report - Princess Ariya has lost her feeding tube! We thought she would be the last to lose it but she is first ;) She now feeds via nursing or the bottle. Her two brothers are close behind and we are hopeful in a few days that they will lose their feeding tube too. All of the babies are becoming less dependant on the tube - as a result all three have experienced a slight drop in weight over the last couple of days which is normal when they make the transition.
The doctors think we are getting close to bringing them home! If all goes well, Geeta and I will be spending the weekend at the hospital (overnight) and put to the test as parents - i.e. to see how we cope with handling all three at night and whether they are ready to be cared for exclusively by their parents (i.e. without the nurses). We are anxiously waiting for them to come home. They also need to pass the car seat test (i.e. sit in a car seat for 1.5 hrs without crying or having disruptions to their breathing). The best case scenario is that they will be home early next week. We are crossing our fingers.
Below are some pics from earlier today. Grandma Gera (aka 'Daddi' in hindi) wanted some facial close-ups ...so here they are. We are awaiting her arrival in a couple of weeks from London, England.

Thank you to Grandma Uppal (aka 'Nanni') for helping us over the last month. We couldn't have done it without all your help around the house and we hope you'll be back from Ottawa soon!
On another note, the kids met their Grandpa Uppal (aka 'Nanna' in hindi) for the first time last weekend - pic below.
