Update


September 5th - Homecoming! All our family is now home! Checkout the new pics from Day 1.

August 28 Hines 7 lbs 3 ozs, Harrison 7 lbs, Olivia 6 lbs 13 ozs. They are all still in the hospital experiencing a mild case of reflux and still some bradycardia. Keeping our fingers crossed to get them home within the week.

August 16 More bradycardia (slow down of the heart) continue, so we are still looking at a week or more before they come home. These little setbacks are frustrating, but we obviously want everyone "ready" before coming home.

August 6 Update As of today,Olivia weighs 5 lbs 4ozs, Harrison 5 lbs 6 ozs, Hines 5 lbs 7 ozs. Olivia is ahead in bottle feeds so the nurses think she will be the first to come home (hopefully in a week and a half). The boys will be closely behind.

Update as of July 13 We have 3 healthy babies! Olivia Ann 3 lbs 14 oz, Harrison Neal 4 lbs and Hines Anderson 4 lbs 4 oz were born at 9:28 am, 9:29 am and 9:30 am on 7/12. Mom and babies are all doing well . Mom will be in the hospital until 7/16.

Meaning of the Names

Many of you have asked how we picked 6 names.

Olivia Ann - Keisha has loved the name Olivia after she went to her first ever concert to see Olivia Newton John. From that moment on as a young child, she knew if she ever had a girl, her name would be Olivia. Ann is the name of John's Grandmother and Keisha's Grandmother (Annie).

Harrison Neal - On a recent trip to Charleston soon after learning they were having triplets, John and Keisha spent 3 hours talking about names and looking through a book of names. Harrison was about the ONLY name that they both agreed on and really liked. Neal is after Keisha's Grandfather.

Hines Anderson - Hines is John's middle name and was his great-grandmother's name. Anderson was Keisha's great-grandfather's name.

	JDwrote: Hey guys, cousin Sallie forwarded me the URL to this site. From the looks of things, all appears to be going well. I understand you may be going home soon, but want the brady's to stop. I cannot fault you on that one. However, being home with the apnea monitor is not all that bad... the cords have a pretty good reach, so you do have some mobility around whatever room you are in. Sounds like they are doing well otherwise. Shoot us an e-mail and we will give you an update on John Teryl and Bowman. They are thriving and eating us out of house and home - John Teryl is pushing 9/10lbs and Bowman is probably close to 8lbs or so! First round of shots at the peds office coming up on Thursday. Hope all continues to go well. All the best - John and Kristin Moore - jdkdmoore@yahoo.com Aug. 25
