~ Loving Life With My Trio ~

Monkey Butts! ~

Well, life has actually gotten a lot easier now that I have all the babies home with me! I feel like I should be a lot more tired than I am! I am surprisingly calm and have everything very together! The babies are AMAZINGLY easy at this point. They are waking up every 3-4 hours like clock work. They don't really cry of fuss at all! Only noises that come from them are their normal and CONSTANT baby grunts! :) Matt and I have been switching off shifts at night so we can both get a good couple hour stretch of sleep in per night. It is working out quite well so far! I feel great most of the time! I wash bottles and dishes, and do laundry in between feeds and diaper changes. Tonight was bath night for all of the babies... I love seeing and smelling them so nice and clean! :)

Our first road trip altogether!

Levi and Logan had their first Pediatrician appointents on Thursday. My first time out with all three. :) My cousin had to  borrow her friends car to get us there! Hers was too small! LOL It went well, all except for the fact that Logan's weight was less than impressive. He decided to start slacking on bottle feeds the last few days and it took a tole on his little body. Levi and Logan were neck and neck in the weight department when Logan left the hospital Monday. Now, Levi out weighs Logan by 8oz! Levi is 6lbs 12oz as of Thursday! Logan has only maintained his weight since coming home, he hasn't gained anything at all. He is still weighing in at 6lbs 4 oz. Our Pediatrician and the docs from U of M wanted his feeding tube put back in so he could start getting his full feeds in every feeding again. Since I already knew how to place one because of Levi having to come home on one, I just went ahead and put Logan's tube in myself, apposed to taking him back to the hospital to have it done. It's working out well... I can already tell he is full for longer and gaining weight again. :)

Loves of my life! Logan, Matison, and Levi :)

Matison is still her chunky little rockstar self! She is eating almost 3oz at a time for her feedings and weighs a whopping 7lbs 6oz!! :) She is such a little princess already. My little fati Mati! She loves to be in her swing and on her belly... She hates to be flat on her back.
I love how she already sounds so much more feminine, even with her grunts! Having a daughter is wonderful after having all these lil boys! LOL

Grandpa with the triplets the first night they were all home! :)

So, this week on Wednesday we have our follow-up ROP exams at the Kellog Eye Center. Hoping that they all show improvement from their last exams! I still get a little nervous whenever they have any sort of exams or tests... I always wait for bad news for some reason! I'm scared for my little ones... I think it's just the left over nervousness from the NICU! :( Hopefully all of my anxieties will eventually subside a bit! I think panic attacks at routine check-ups would not be good in a few months... LOL! ;)
