Not bad for a) triplets; b) 34-weekers; and most especially c) 34-week triplets in Uganda.

Cheesy, pretty little girls.

I hope they do well - I think we take the survival of 34-week multiples here for granted.

I had 32 week twins (they are 13 months now!!) and I agree. Even at the time, I didn't think much about what could have gone wrong. I was so lucky to have been able to get steroid shots and be closely monitored. I get choked up sometimes now thinking of all the things that could be wrong with my babies and aren't. I thank God I have 2 healthy who cares if they are small babies.

I want to be an L&D nurse. This kind of thing wells me up. Thanks for sharing!! Life is a beautiful gift.

Hi Elvish - I've been checking and can't find any info about these triplets - the blog you posted mentioned not thinking these babies would make it. Have you heard?
