Tiny Thea, Lily and Esmae (CORR) - originally called Theo, Luca and Jude - spent three weeks in separate cots undergoing required medical care, but on September 11 they were reunited for a cuddle for the first time since their birth.Now the little ones are doing well, and the parents hope to bring them home from the hospital in the coming weeks.Jake, who works as an electrical engineer, said: "The triplets didn't meet until last week because of all the machines monitoring them."When they met, we could tell they definitely knew each other. "They kept putting their hands on each other's faces."They don't cry as much when they're together - it soothes them."We're excited to have them home together - it will be a shock, but not as much of a shock as finding out our three boys were three girls!"When I told Caitlin after her C-section, she wouldn't believe me. "The doctors had to convince her."To be honest, our biggest concern was them coming out healthy.
