The procedure took a little more than an hour from start to finish. It was pretty amazing. I sat next to Jen the entire time and our view of the action was obstructed by a curtain, which was convenient because I didn't want to see what was going on. The experience was incredible. Hearing the doctor say "It's a girl!" 3 times was a complete shock but then as if on cue all 3 started crying what seemed like at the same time. It was a symphony of cries. Of course one of the doctors then told us to get used to the sound for the next 18 years so that put a slight damper on the whole experience. But, once they had them cleaned up, they calmed right down and they were so peaceful and breathing on their own. We were able to hold each of them for a little while (after Jen finished vomiting).
Here's how much the babies weighed:
Molly (baby A) - 4lb, 8oz.
Madeline (baby B) - 4lb even
Tess (baby C) - 3lb, 12oz.
After delivery the nurses moved the babies to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit as a precaution and much to our delight we just found out that the babies will be moved to the Intermediate Nursery tomorrow. We have no idea when they'll be able to come home but we're hoping soon. Jen should be released this weekend. We'll keep everyone posted. Here are some pictures:

Rosey, David and kids.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Three girls - WOW!! I love it! They are adorable and great names. We can't wait to meet them! Love you all! Melissa & Chris
The girls are beautiful!! I felt priveledged to meet them on the first day of their lives! My heart melted as I layed my eyes on each one. As tiny and precious as each was, I could see they can easily wrap this uncle around their little pinkie. May God bless them all as well as their amazing parents!
Sullivan...Sullivan, party of five...your table's ready :)
Love Uncle Larry
P.S.- thought it was Molly Rose?
Jen! Den! :-) So excited and happy for you and your family! What a blessing that all three and Mom are healthy and strong. Look forward to seeing you guys in person and meeting the girls.
Cheers (times three)
Molly
p.s. love the names
Hi Dennis & Jen:
Congratulations! These three girls look cute. I am so happy that the most critical moment is over. Now comes the hard work and the sleepless nights. But, thank God, this is not for too long. The first three months are the toughest. Then, you'll enjoy to see the progress your babies will do every month. I recommend you read "What to Expect the First Year" by by Heidi Murkoff, Sandee Hathaway, Arlene Eisnberg. This book has helped me a lot. Jen will have to start sharing all her make-up, clothes, shoes, later on in life (je, je, je). I am already starting to think about getting Eric a little sister or brother. I like big families! You will have so much fun when they will start talking in about a year and a half. All the things toddlers say!
Send us more pictures, please!
Girl Power!!!
I have plenty of lipstick and dress up costumes for the girls, Reese can show them the way.....
Can't wait to meet them!
Love,

As parents of three wonderful girls ourselves, we are delighted to say "welcome to the estrogen club!" Jonathan has been planning a contest for dads with daughters on best daddy hairdo (he just learned how to braid hair) so get practicing!
Wishing you lots of joy with your three precious miracles,
Anne and Jonathan
