Patrick here announcing the great news! Yesterday afternoon on Wednesday the 26th of June we welcomed our three babies into the world! Our lives have changed forever and everyone is doing amazing! Kate will post much more about it when she gets a moment but for now I will give you a few details.
We got to the hospital very early on Wednesday morning and after some monitoring, the docs decided it was time to deliver at 34 weeks and 3 days.
At 1:47 pm Declan Seamus was born! He weighed 4 pounds 15 ounces and was 18 inches long! He is doing great in the nicu.
At 1:48 pm Owen Tadhg was born! He weighed 5 pounds 4 ounces and was 19 inches long! He too is doing great.
Then at 1:49 Evelyn Aoife was born! She weighed 5 pounds 2 ounces and was 18 inches long! She is doing so awesome as well.
Right now all three babies are in the NICU but non of them needed CPAP and are just on oxygen. They got to spend some time with us in the recovery room before they were moved and we got to hold all of them! They all have feeding tubes now and are receiving What Kate has been able to pump. We are taking their stay day by day but hopefully it won't be too long!
Kate is tired but doing amazing and she is already such a good mom!
We are totally and utterly in love with them and can't believe they are here! We are enjoying our time as a family of five and are figuring out being new parents of triplets! Sorry if posts aren't as frequent for the next few weeks but be sure that pictures will come soon enough!! And thank you for all of your kind words!
Thanks for the update! So glad to hear you are all doing well!!!

Thanks! Sorry, Patrick messed up the day, bless his heart. I guess I can forgive him since he's been up for almost 3 days! The babies were born on Wednesday the 26th and are still doing well :) I fixed it now!
