Two home, one to go

Aiden (left) is home and Seth will be soon

Three Amigos

I went with Anthony tonight to visit our little boys, Aiden was brought back to Community Hospital this afternoon and is gaining on his brother and sister. He now weighs the most of everyone and has a strong appetite. Chances are he will be home very soon. Seth has been our little guy all along and still needs some assistance to get all his nutrtion. When every calorie counts it's important he doesn't miss a drop. I fed him most all of his bottle but what he couldn't finish was given to him through a tube so he can get big and strong and come home soon too.

Tulare Mother Welcomes Triplets

By Mike Hazelwood

First came Seth. Then Aiden. Then Emilia.
Now? A lot of diapers.
"[Doctors] said we need about 36 diapers per day," said sister Jacquelyn Delgado of Tulare.
At 18, Jacquelyn is the oldest of six children in the Delgado family, a number that was doubled about 6:50 a.m. Saturday.
That's when Jaime Delgado gave birth to the triplets at Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno.
To recap, the Delgado family is:
Jaime, 30, who returned home Wednesday.
Anthony, 36, the proud new papa.
Jacquelyn, a College of the Sequoias student.
Jacob, 16, a Tulare Union High School student.
Skyler, 12, a Cherry Avenue Middle School student.
Seth, who was born at 4 pounds, 7 ounces. He is expected to stay at Community Medical Regional Center for a few more days to gain more weight.
Aiden, who was born at 5 pounds, 10 ounces. He is recovering at Children's Hospital Central California from surgery to repair a tear in his lung.
Emilia, who was born at 5 pounds, 12 ounces. She returned home with Jamie.
The entire family should be home, happy and healthy, within two weeks, Jacquelyn said.
"I love babies, so I can't wait until they're all home and healthy," she said.
It was the first time giving birth for Jaime, who is stepmother to the older children.
She has been in the hospital the past five weeks in anticipation of the birth.
Heard good things come in threes?
The Delgados believe so.
Jaime and Anthony had been trying to have a child together for three years, and their three babies were born Nov. 3.
The oldest three Delgado children are preparing their Tulare home, including stocking up on food and diapers.
It will be a challenge for sure, but at least the family doesn't need to worry about mixing up the babies.
"They look different" Jacquelyn said. "Emilia looks like Jaime, Seth looks like my dad and Aiden, he has his own little look."

Jaime's Homecoming August 1977

Thirty years ago I brought Jaime home and her Grandmom was there to help out, today Jaime gets to bring home her little girl and she'll have 3 Grandmoms helping her.
Aiden and Seth are both doing good but still need a little more developing time and they will join Emilia soon.

Day 3

Aiden' s surgery to repair a tiny tear in his lung
went well and he is now off the
ventillator and breathing on his own.
He's still at the Valley Childrens Hospital.

Emilia has been moved to her Mom's room and is settling in very comfortably, possibly today Seth will be joining them.

Celebrate

Happy Birthday Tim and many many more to come.

Aiden / Day 2

Last night the decision was made to transfer Aiden to the Valley Childrens Hospital . He continues to need oxygen and the specialists over there will be able to help him better. Please remember this special little guy in your prayers.

Seth / day 2

For a little fellow Seth is holding his own and loving the attention. He drinks his bottle slower than Emilia wanting to savor every bit, while always keeping attention on everyone with him. They are keeping him in an isolet to help maintain his temperature.

Jaime was able to go visit her babies today but still has a lot of recovering to day. But it won't be long before everyone is together.

Emilia / day 2

Emilia is the strongest of the trio and we expect she will go home with Jaime later this week. She was sleeping the whole time we were with the babies, but the nurse said she will let you know when she wants attention and can belt down a bottle with the best of them. Much like her Mother, lol

Our triplets

Seth, Aiden, Emilia and Mama are all doing well this evening. Seth, the smallest has already been moved from the special care unit and Aiden (now off of oxygen) and Emilia should follow him in the morning. Chances are all will be going home on Wednesday with Jaime. It is just amazing when you look at them and think of how Jaime carried all three for so long. My little girl never siezes to amaze me. Most of all I thank God and his blessings on our family.

Seth william 4 lb 7 oz (just born cell phone shots)

Aiden tiger 5 lb 9 oz

Emilia ann 5 lb 12 oz
