New Post Coming

Hi all,
We have had laptop trouble and are in the process of buying a new one. Therefore the pictures I have for the next blog will have to be postponed. We go to the doctor on Thursday for the rest of their 4 month shots and a weight check, so I will put the pictures and updates together on Friday.

We did take them to the mall on Friday. I needed a new dress and found one with the help of friends! We found lots of attention and two other triplet moms! It is a small world, as we never left Macys.

All of them have been in the jumper and the bouncy seat and have enjoyed them as long as they have energy. Emily loves looking at the decorations, Nathan looks at how the jumper works, and Daniel was pushing the sound button. It's funny to watch what they notice!

Yea!!!!

Wow - what a busy week.

The children had their last RSV shot. WHEW! These shots are thick and hurt! Nathan was very lucky. They use the baby's weight to determine dosage. His was .91. Anything over 1.0 would have required a second needle. Being that he cries the most at the shots and has gotten black and blue, I am thrilled he only needed one! They have graduated and shouldn't need the pulminologist again.

We also went today for hearing tests. The audiologist stuck something in their ears and it measures and evaluates their hearing. They all had passing scores. Unless they start to get ear infections often and the doctor feels it might impact their hearing, we are done with them, too! Now if they don't listen to me when their toddlers, I can't use hearing as an excuse! yea!

We also took a walk in the park with our friend Denise and her 3 month old daughter. That was lovely. If only we could have a few more nice days, we would be in heaven.

This is a rare occurrence. All are sleeping - two in swings and one in the crib. We took out the exersaucer today. Although it is too early, Nathan has been really trying to stand and climb when we hold him. I put him in and held his head gently so he wouldn't fall forward. He loved it. There were so many things to look at and he moved a little up and down (though he didn't realize it). I also bounced him gently in it and he laughed. So cute! We'll have to take pictures next week.

4 months!

Wow - how can it be that fourth months are gone? They are so big. I don't see the growth day to day, but when you look back at pictures....WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We took them to the doctor on Friday. They are definitely growing! Emily weighed 10 lbs. 14 oz., Daniel was 12 lbs. 7 oz. and Nathan was not quite 13 pounds (12 lbs. 15 3/4 oz.). Nathan was between the 10-25%ile for their actual age and even Emily was on the chart at 5%ile. None of them are on the chart for height, but they were very close we were told.

Their ears were fine - no more infection. We go for their hearing tests next Friday and we hope that will be their last one. They also have their last RSV shot on Wednesday. They are not looking forward to it. Nor are we.

We plan to go to Florida next month for Will's sister's wedding. We are very excited as this will be our family's first trip (and Veroniuq's first time in Florida). We hope they stay healthy until then so we can go!

We are open for visitors. We still have to be hesitant about children under 12 b/c of the flu and RSV. Luckily, the season is winding down and we will be open to everything (no illnesses of course) in just a couple of weeks! We are beginning to have outings with children - but we just have to be careful. We look forward to when we can be relaxed!

Pictures- The top picture features Emily and Daniel having a conversation. The second features Daniel and Nathan (Nathan looks taller b/c Daniel is not standing). The third is our whole family (kids - Nathan, Emily and Daniel). I also tried to put a video of Emily smiling on. I'm not sure it worked.
