#ThePowellTriplets 3 Months Strong! 💪🏾 💙♥️💛 #ThenVsNow #BeforeAndAfter @_naturalnooks Mom Writes: “11 days ago I went to the hospital to get my 2nd steroid shot to help the babies lungs develop faster. After being there for a few hours the day before and getting lab work done, I noticed my platelet levels were dropping. I made sure to mention that to the doctors and requested they check my platelets again. Once checked again, we noticed they were declining, again.. my high risk doctor and I made the decision that our babies needed to come and they were going to be delivered in less than 24 hours 😳••• my c-section was scheduled for the following Thursday, July 8th. On June 30th, we welcomed our beautiful baby boys; Jaden, Jaxson and Jelani and we’ve been in love ever since.💙💙💙 After delivering the boys, I developed preeclampsia and was put on magnesium for 24 hours, I couldn’t hold our babies for over 24 hours. I was sad but I knew I needed to get better and healthy. My husband spent several hours in the NICU holding each baby and spending time with them, FaceTiming me to see our babies and walking back and forth to check on me to make sure I was good (the real MVP 😘🤎 Our baby boys stayed in the NICU for 3 days and then they were moved to the Step Down Nursery for 4 days. They passed all their tests in both the NICU and Step Down Nursery (little overachievers 🥰) they came home 1 week after being delivered. We were told from the start, triplets rarely come home at the same time, especially being born prematurely (they were born at 34 weeks and 2 days). All the nurses and doctors were surprised at how well #ThePowellTriplets were doing and how big they were. So much has happened in between (I’ll share at another time) but #ThePowellTriplets are truly our world and a blessing from God.” 📸 @_naturalnooks #ThePowellTriplets #tripletpregnancy #momofmultiples #thepowelltriplets #preeclampsia #transabdominalcerclage #boymom #preemie #34weeker #spontaneoustriplets #multiplepregnancy #incompetentcervix #wonderwombman https://www.instagram.com/p/CU1fuWzAlbJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Another throwback! One that is no longer painful or angering, I’ve even forgiven myself. It’s more like an “oh man look what we survived, we really did that and are still here..woah” 6 years ago February I was hospitalized and on complete bedrest for a little over a month. He spent 2 weeks in the nicu. I didn’t think he was gonna make it, but if I could go back I’d tell myself while I was laid up in that bed don’t stress too hard. Listen to all your amazing friends and family that dropped by to give love an encouragement. He IS gonna be tearing everything up, active and love the outdoors, in no time. All that stress for different stress 😂 now it’s more like how do I keep this kid from leaping out of trees and sliding off trails💀. Makoa is definitely a #pprom baby that continues to thrive. He’s finally on the charts in weight, low, but ok!! He’s tall for his age apparently, idk anything about height, I stopped growing at age 8🤷🏽‍♀️ his hair is to his knees💪🏽 and he constantly burns thru notebooks and notepads because he LOVES to draw and/or paint. Obsessed with jaws and Jurassic park, he can play bits of the theme songs on the piano! Favorite food is rice, eggs and spam, fav color is Red. He can tell never ending, GRAND stories, his mind is incredibly vivid. Just a wild and crazy guy that sometimes I don’t know what to do with!!!🙏🏽 #tbt #34weeker #preemiestrong #makoakai_ (at Glendale Adventist Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLc54A4n_6-/?igshid=5d6ivcz72wuf

Cheyenne, you are so loved by everyone and they haven't been as lucky to finally meet you yet. Nothing brings me more joy than seeing you grow from such a difficult beginning. You are a week old today and I can't believe that time has just flown by! You just moved to the feeder and grower pod at the NICU and we can't be more prouder of you! We can't wait for you to be at home. #newborn #nicumom #nicu #preemie #34weeker (at UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU3emMwrXBi/?utm_medium=tumblr

💙Happy Birthday to our 60 month old Baby M!!🥳 Was hard to keep it at 10 pics and clips, but these are some highlights of the last year! A little bit of everything, to nutshell the happy, terrorizing, goofy monster that is Makoa Kai. First pic- he got stung by a bee right on his forehead. We still love bees, taught us much-needed bee boundary lessons! R.I.P. miss bee!!! 2. Climbing the cliffs at #vasquezrocks ! 3. Playing in the yard, his favorite thing to do. Took a break from playing with dirt, sticks and rocks! 4. My sidekick. He’s always there like ALWAYS AROUND 😂 I still can’t poo in peace. But he’s 1/2 way to 10 and I will now also lose him to school in the fall. dont. Like. 🤢💀 5. Gettin some snowball payback for throwing snow at everyone else in #BodieGhostTown 6. Hair stylist and artistic director of all my bedroom photo shoots. Books are closed for 2020. He’s not taking any new clients. 7. Never gets tired of going to the arboretum or Descanso gardens. 8. He was tired, but had to pee, so I told him to go pee before laying down. How dare I. Worst mom ever. 9. From chickens to sharks, he loves all animals. Following in the footsteps of big sister Malaea. I love that so much. 10. His first snow play day in #wrightwood . Still very concerned for the downed telephone pole. Hope it’s ok out there!! He’s VERY into street signs, maps, construction, trash trucks, telephone poles..very serious stuff. I still gotta take him to the gardens for proper pics, but as soon as this rain lets up! So for now, just a lil taste of our thriving #PPROM #34weeker 💙💙💙💙 #happybirthday #babyboy #makoakai_ #5yearsold (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9lKm1rnxbH/?igshid=1e0m4faz12b3g
