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!!!)

I love the little stories like this about the day to day things in your life with THREE! I can't imagine what it must be like to get out to door to the doctor and how long it takes to unload the car, etc! I'm glad Mamo kept those babies away from people and their icky germs! :)
