Quick update...

It is late and I am tired :) All of the babies are off oxygen and they are weaning them from the isolettes to little cribs. When they do this they are actually dressing and swaddling them. They think they will be in cribs in a couple of days (possibly Cohen tonight) but they have to be able to maintain their body temperature before they can move to the crib. They are also increasing their food intake at just about every feeding and started bottle feeding them today as long as they looked interested. They all look like fish at feeding time so they are definitely showing signs that they are ready. All of their IV's were taken out today so they are getting all of their nutrition from breast milk/formula. They still get tired out when taking a bottle so if they do not finish it they are given the rest through their feeding tube. I actually got to feed Christian and Cohen their afternoon bottles, but Cecilia was not interested at that feeding so she snoozed while they filled her belly :)
All is well but I think they will be there for at least another week, but no real estimates from anyone official.
