Happy Thanksgiving

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. The triplets first Thanksgiving was great! We went to Aunt Marcia's and Uncle Frank's house. We went early on Tuesday to spend time with the family and celebrate Nate's birthday. We got to see Erick and Janna and their family, as well as Allison since they weren't with us on Thanksgiving Day this year. I posted some pictures yesterday of my niece and nephews holding the triplets. We had 8 kids under the age of 4 this year......fun!! Thank you Mamo for getting up with the triplets at night and letting daddy sleep. Thank you Grandma Sarah for taking such great care of the triplets at Thanksgiving and giving mommy time to just hang out. Thank you Auntie Suz and Grandpa for feeding and holding the triplets. We love you all!!!

Bath Time

Sorry it's been so long since I've updated the blog. I haven't really taken any recent pictures, so I haven't been able to update. Today I took a picture after their bath in their cute towels Candace bought them from Pottery Barn. Tomorrow we leave for my parents' house for Thanksgiving. It's our first real road trip...even though it's only an hour and a half. It's the longest trip we've taken so far. I hope it all goes well. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Three Peas in a Pod


Yesterday Uncle Gene and Auntie Adrienne came with Frankie and AJ to visit with Hunter, Cooper and Olivia. They brought us a yummy lunch and dinner. And of course, they came to see mommy and daddy too. However, we are no longer the main attraction. Auntie Allison and Uncle Chris came to look for a place to live because they are moving here....yay!! We had so much fun visiting with everyone. Thank you!

Feeding All Three

This morning we had another first.....I fed all three at once! Wow....what a time saver. Unfortunately I haven't quite got the burping down yet when feeding all at once. Last night was another great night. They all slept 6 hours straight, then another 3 after feeding them. That was good because the night before the boys were up every couple of hours.....fussy with gas. Olivia was given infant gas drops and she slept 7.5 hours straight. So needless to say last night all three got the gas drops and what a huge difference.....I love these drops!!
All three on my bed this morning getting ready to eat.

Cooper with the new bottle prop I bought on ebay. I have to get 2 more of these!
Olivia after eating....sound asleep.
Hunter is getting a double chin.
Cooper is just looking around like usual.

6 Hours of Sleep

Last night they all slept 6 hours straight....woohoo! Nate and I woke up to feed them all at once, and put them back down for another 4 1/2 hours. They have been doing so great. Everyone keeps asking me how much sleep we're getting and surprisingly we've been getting quite a bit...we're just hoping it continues. :) Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Mommy and Daddy are solo

Well my mom left last night to go back to my dad. She was a great help and she will be missed. She is coming back for 2 days next week.....yay! Last night went well. They all went to bed after their 10:30 feeding and slept until about 3am. They went back down until 7:30 this morning, except for Cooper. He was up with daddy at 5:30. Things are going great this morning. It's 9:30, they've all been fed, and I even got a shower! They are all sleeping soundly....thank goodness they are not fussy babies. We are very fortunate. Anyway, here is a picture of Cooper in our bed after his feeding.

Fashion Show for Daddy


We couldn't help but have a fashion show for daddy when he got home. Olivia got back into her Christmas dress and let Mamo take some pictures....she was quite a good sport given the amount of photos she'd already taken today.

Getting Their Pictures Taken


Well today we took Olivia, Hunter, and Cooper to get their photos taken. It was quite an experience. The photographer wanted them to sit up, and being so young, this was difficult for them, and they hated it! So the only pictures that really turned out were the one where they were laying down in their stockings. I wasn't going to post them here because we are using a similar one for our Christmas card, but I changed my mind. :) My mom took this one on her camera after the photographer was done.

Please remind me NEVER to take them to get their photos taken alone......it's a good thing I had my mom. We were both sweating by the time we were finished. We definitely need 3 people next time!!!

3 Weeks Old


Olivia, Hunter, and Cooper are three weeks old today....YAY! We went to the doctor to check their weights and development. As I was checking in at the counter, Mamo was steering the triplet stroller away from the crowd. She was bombarded with people who wanted to take a peek at the triplets. Mamo is more protective than mommy and was practically running away with the stroller. She was so afraid someone was going to try to touch them. Luckily, no one did. Although, it seemed people couldn't get enough of the triplets. Once we got into the office, I think Mamo was relieved. Everything looked great with the babies. The dr. said he is now treating them as full term babies, so we don't have to go back for 6 weeks! He said their necks are unbelievably strong for their age, and their weights were wonderful. Here are their weights as of today. Keep in mind they want to see a gain of 1/2 an ounce a day, so ours should have gained 3.5 ounces since their last appt.

Olivia: 6 lbs. (gain of 11 ounces)
Cooper: 6 lbs. 2 oz. (gain of 10 ounces)
Hunter: 7 lbs. 2 oz. (gain of 16 oz....a whole pound in a week!!!)
