NICU sleep over

As I mentioned last night, we are sleeping in the NICU tonight. We will also be staying tomorrow night if everything goes well tonight. We packed our bags and loaded up the car. We were both filled with excitement. We were a little uncertain how things work with the stay-in rooms. So when we got to the NICU we searched for our nurse to get the info. I forgot to mentions the triple crew was moved up the hall again. They are all in room #5 - right in front of the door out. We found the nurse and she said that we had several options. Options? In that case, I will take the full service Hilton treatment. That's not an option. The option she was referring to was the chance to have all three babies sleep in with us - yeah! Everyone has been telling us how we want to get them home one at a time but not me. I am a deep end of the pool kind of operator. I function best in situations that are completely overwhelming. Give me worst case senerio and let me figure a way out. So send them all to me.
We just finished round one of changing and feeding! It is 9:45. We start this process over again at 11. That will leave 1 - 1 1/2 hours sleep between changing and feedings. Not much and I have to get up and go to work tomorrow! Maybe the deep end is a little too deep?
