Growing bunch....

Everyday is an adventure at our house. We are trying to figure out a system however, it seems that we just have to go with what works at the time in order to make it through. We have had our first experiences this past weeks of hearing people's comments that in my opinion should be kept to themselves. I know we will be hearing more and more of those comments as we start to venture out with the trio. We will just have to come up witty replies to their stupid questions and comments so we can get a laugh out of it.

Ryan and I are definitely being put to the test but we feel that we are over coming those challenges on most days. There are definitely those days where we wonder "how are we ever going to make it through this", but thankfully those days are rare. We are still receiving help from our families which is much appreciated. As soon as we feel like we can't manage another set of night feedings on our own they come to our rescue.

The trio is doing very well. They are growing everyday which is comforting. I am always concerned that they are not eating enough so having doctor's appt every Friday is reassuring that everything is going well. Last Friday, Emery weighed 7lbs3oz, Grayson weighed 6lbs11oz and our little peanut, Nathan, weighed 5lbs even. They are still eating every 3 hours during the day. At night we feed them on demand, which typically ends up being between 3.5-4hours. We are hoping in the next few weeks they will be consistently sleeping 4-5 hours at a time at night so that we can start to get some sleep. That may be wishful thinking but we'll see....

We have started to introduce the trio to their extended family, our friends. We have had a few sets of people over and will continue to allow people to meet them on a slow and steady basis. We haven't let any little kids in to see them yet because of the germs they could be carrying as we all know little kids seem to carry the most germs :)

Well that is it for now. So here are some updated pics of our crew:

Here are some pics of our Cadillac stroller....I guess this is the reason for some of the crazy comments:
