Second Pediatrician Visit

We had our 2 month check up with the pediatrician, Dr. Salow, on Thursday. All is well with the trips. Mama's back hurts like heck from getting not one but three babies into car seats, into the van, then getting them back out again...this was with Papa's help!

Here are the vitals:

Mason = 10lbs 2oz he is in the 25th percentile for both height and weight
Katherine = 9lbs 11oz she is in the 1oth percentile for both height and weight
Audrey = 8lbs 12oz she is in the 10th percentile for weight and less than 3 for height.

Dr. Salow says everyone is on track and should catch up to full term babies by the 6th month or so. That is good news.

We took the camera again but still forgot to take a picture. Something about trying to get three babies checked out without freaking out and all my questions answered we seem to forget that little task.

It is official - I go back to work in 1 1/2 weeks and Dave goes back in 2. Wah! I would be a little more excited if I could figure out how I am going to get more than three hours of sleep in a row. Geesh!

Sam got me! Photo tagged.

This is pretty funny - my BFF tagged me to this blog game last month knowing I just had triplets. I am actually catching up on some blog reading today and realized it. So here I sit at my mom's computer and this is the picture I got...luckily I am in the photo and know the people in the photo.

The bigger blonde boy is my nephew Dylan the smaller one is my eldest son Brody (boy that was weird to type). It is when we went back home to San Diego to visit over MLK day when Brody was 5 months old. It appears as though Dylan is going to kiss his cousin and Brody is cracking up about it or screaming his head off. I can't really tell for sure. Ha! I do wonder if in another 3 months I will be back to having only one chin like I do in this photo.

I don't know three people with blogs to tag back so if you read my blog feel free to consider yourself tagged.

I The rules are:
1) Go to your photo files… Select the 6th photo folder or album.
2) Select the 6th photo in that folder/album.
3) Post that photo along with the story behind it.
4) Then challenge some blog friends to do the same!

Triplets First Portraits

Here are the family pictures we had taken at Target on July 2nd. I think they turned out pretty cute. The hardest part was explaining to Brody how we wanted him to sit for the picture. He kept laying on top of the babies since they were laying on top of each other. Ha ha!

If anyone wants any copies let me know - we purchased the CD so we own the images and can print off what we want.

Happy Independence Day

Here I am still at the computer. I decided to move the SD card from the new camera to the old one so I could download the pictures from the 4th. We had the annual 49th street parade and party. We had our own float this year (thanks Uncle Harold and Auntie Joyce Templeman!)

Dad fixed Brody's bike up really cool but he decided at the beginning of the parade that he wanted to ride with his siblings - can you blame him??

We had a blast getting out of the house just Dave and I for an evening party. Thanks again to Mom, Auntie Rae, and the Zucks!!

Mental note to self: next time Dave offers me the bug spray take it!! My feet have more mosquito bites than skin!!!

We plan to take more pictures tomorrow - the triplets 7 week birthday.

Here is one upset Audrey with Dr. Dornbier at my 6 week checkup to hold you over until then.

Three Week Pictures!

OK - So I know the babies will be 7 weeks tomorrow - oh wait in 30 minutes but what can I say I am the proud mother of triplets and an almost 4 year old. It is crazy busy here and feels like I am living ground hog day every day. I don't know what I would do without my mom and auntie. Bless you God for my helpers and hubby!!!



Anyho - these are some updated pictures that my Cousin Susan from Omaha took when we had family in town from Virginia (Auntie Linda and Cousin Lisa) and Indiana (Uncle Paul and Aunt Margaret - Paula was here but had a cold so was unable to see the babies :o( and Kayla - Susan's daughter) the middle of June. Thanks Susan!!



I finally figured out why I can't download pictures - the port that connects from the new camera to the computer is broken. I plan to take it back at some point in my free time - Bah ha ha ha ha ha!



The babies are doing great! We finally have them on a 4 hour schedule. We started that at 4 weeks. I actually get in the shower and my teeth brushed BEFORE 4pm which was a goal of mine when we had the 3 hour feeds. I am still supplementing the babies with breast milk - they are up to 4 ounces in their bottles.


We continue to work on their sleeping habits but luckily with the 4 of us we are able to get about 6 hours of sleep each - at times even in a row!! I thank God again for Auntie Rae who takes the 2am to 6am shift then sleeps during the day and somehow (she is a Goddess) gets dinner on the table for us when we don't have someone bringing us something.

We are also blessed to have my mom here from California. She is our laundress, clean up lady, and overall what is needed person. She thinks she is going home in August but we are thinking of building an extra room in the basement with bunk beds for her and Auntie Rae.

I can't forget the Zucks who come down and relieve us of feedings - bringing food and news from the outside.



Miss Audrey weighs 5 lbs 5.6 oz in this picture - (She weighed 6 lbs 11 oz on July 1).



Master Mason weighs 6 lbs. 11 oz in this picture - ( He weighed 8 lbs. 1.3 oz on July 1).

Miss Katherine weighs 5 lbs. 11.9 oz in this picture - (She weighed 7lbs 3.4 oz on July 1).

Again I would like to thank all our family, friends, church family, co-workers, Mothers of Mulitples family, and neighbors for all of your support, cards, emails, and dinners during this time. We are so lucky to have such a great support system.
