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 haven't heard anything, Steph. These folks are really good at posting follow-ups when they get them, though.....so fingers crossed. I've been thinking about those babies too!!

I love their blankies. I want some like that.

I was talking with a friend who works in a huge academic medical center and she told me the trend now is to deliver triplets lady partslly. She has seen several now, all with good outcomes.
