Wow we are 2 months old already!!!! Time is just flying by probably because our days are so busy! The babies have changed so much since they were born, not only in looks and size but in their personalities. They are awake more and more everyday throughout the day instead of sleeping all day, they are learning to engage in us as we are talking to them and they have even cooed a few times! A normal day for us now includes feedings every 3 hours of 4 oz of formula, diaper changes at every feeding and little naps throughout the day. While we sleep mom and dad try to catch up on laundry which is atleast a load a day because we like to spit up our food, dishes which always seem to pile up, and catching up on their own sleep! We still wake up a few times in the middle of the night to eat usually about every 4-5 hours, sometime more. All 3 of us do not like sleeping in our cribs AT ALL!! We cry in our cribs then mom and dad take us downstairs an we fall asleep on the couch, hahaha! We are hoping to have a set sleeping and daytime routine by 3 months old!

I dont have a very current weight check our next appt is on the 30th but on Dec. 12th Ben was 6lbs 6 oz, Blake was 5lbs 10oz & Brooke was 5lbs 2oz all growing very well! Sleep is definatley a luxury, the kiddos now eat 3oz every 2-4 hours amd s;eep in between meals. All 3 of them have some sort of reflux, Ben and Brooke just spit up quiet a bit with no pain and Poor blake spit up alot and seems to be VERY uncomfortable!

Our Miracle trio!

Almost 1 month old!!!

We cannot believe that our trio is almost a month old! We had some photos taken and we wanted to share them!

Our babies are all home as of yesterday the last to come home was our baby "c" Blake. Each baby has a very unique personality:

Ben is VERY laid back and just a really good baby. He rarely cries unless he is cold, needs changing or is hungry.

Brooke is a diva she is a little princess and can make you very sad with her little cry.

Blake is very demanding and impatient! lol, He wants what he wants when he wants it and not a minute later!

Sorry we dont update very often but life is very busy!!!

2 Weeks old!!!

Wow I can't believe our trio is already 2 weeks old!!! Time is already flying! Our little princess Brooklynn came home on Thanksgiving and is doing very well at home, she loves to be cuddled and hates sleeping alone! They boys are still in the NICU ad we are not sure when they will be home, hopefully by mid Dec, they are being VERY lazy with eating their meals and Blake has a few Desats every now and then. Carl and I are both already tired with just one home, but we cannot wait to have our buys home with their sister atleast then we dont have to take multiple trips to the NICU everyday. Babies weights are now......

Ben - 5lbs 2.4oz Blake - 4lbs 9oz Brooke - 3lbs 15oz

Alright so its been a little over a week since our beautiful trio was born!!! All babies are still doing wonderful and breathing room air!!! All three have NG tubes, which allow the nurses to get the breastmilk/formula into their little tummies if they are too tired to nipple feed. Breastfeeding is going well, Brooke knows what to do she may be the smallest but she is so fiesty!! The boys do well its just taking them a little longet to learn. All 3 have lost some of thier birth weigh however its completely normal for their gestational age. Like I said before Brooke is really fiesty and wants what she want when she wants it, Blake is all smiles with a little added impatience when he tries to nurse he latches on then smiles, and we have to relatch!!! Ben is VERY quiet and patient like his daddy. We will posrt more soon!
