Happy Halloween!

Our Little Pumpkins

2 Month Check Up

The babies had their 2 month check up today. They wowed us all with how big they've gotten. They were such good babies when they got their shots....each one of them only wimpered for a minute and then they were back to their happy selves! The highlight of the appointment though was to hear that we can take them off their iron supplements and the premature formula (Enfamil Enfacare), that stuff was so expensive! Yipee!
Here's their stats:

Mason:
7lbs. 6oz.
19.75"

Evan:
7lbs. 9oz.
21"

Madison:
7lbs. 3oz.
19.5"

Because they were premature it will be a while before they are in the normal percentile in height and weight for their age. But they're getting close. Evan is the first to even tip-toe into a percentile he's at 1% for his weight. Woot, Woot!

Due Date

Today is the Triplet's offical due date. They'll be turning 2 months old this Sunday. What a weird feeling. I can't imagine if I would've made it this long before delivering. I was in so much pain when I did deliver it's hard to think what I would've felt like had I lasted as long as I should have. Or how big I would've been...Yikes!

The Triplets are Famous!

We had the opportunity to be on the news. They aired my interview early this morning and plan on airing it again this evening. To see my interview click on the link below.

Evan's Eye Exam

So today was Evan's eye exam. In total we spend about 1 1/2 hours in the doctor's office. Let me be honest, it was not a very fun appointment. Luckily Evan was really really good and only cried during the actual procedure. My husband came with and he couldn't watch when they examined his eyes while I was staring horrified. They stick a metal clamp on his eyes to hold open the eyelids then this next part was quite disturbing to me so you might not want to continue reading....but they then take a metal pencil like object to push his eye on either side so they could look behind/to the side of it. It really was horrifying. Not all eye exams are this brutal so don't get nervous if you have to take your child in. The only reason they had to do this extensive of an exam was because he was so premature they had to check for a disease some premature babies get.
Well, long story short, we went in, it was brutal but Evan's eyes look normal. Woo Hoo!

Things a Triplet Mom Can't Live Without!

Meet my new best friends:Hawaii Medical Gum Drop Pacifiers. You are so much cuter than the big green hospital pacifiers. Lucky for me you have the same nipple so babies like you just as much. Not to mention you come in an assortment of colors so I can keep track of what belongs to who. One of my most favorite things about you, you come scented in vanilla. mmm.

Burp cloth how I love you. You have saved me time and time again from large amounts of drool and spit up. We have over 20 of you and still have to wash at least one, some times two loads of you a day in order to always have you handy.

Oh swing & bouncer combo I cannot fathom a night without you! You have given me the greatest gift of all...an extra hour or two of sleep night after night. (I have 1 of these and wish I had 3)

Pack n Play Bassinet with storage underneath. You have kept me sane with your organization ability. Shelves we can store the things we use most...diapers, wipes, burp cloths and blankets. Not to mention you can hold all three babies at once, you have saved us so much space in our bedroom. (we easily removed the canopy and changing station, it gave us more room for babies)If we did not have you we would have had to get and find space for three separate bassinets.

Boppy Pillow you have given me power. I feel like a mom with three hands. With you I am able to feed two babies at once.
