Everytime I make a post, I have every intention to make another post within a few days but as you can see that doesn't happen. I think that's because all the days run together right now. If I didn't keep a log of everything the babies did, I would have no idea when they last ate, pooped or got their medicine. It's amazing how fast time goes by but at the same time feels like it is standing still. The babies are still not sleeping longer than 3-3.5 hours at night which means we are still walking zombies. I keep hearing that it will get better but I honestly do not see the light at the end of the tunnel. I think we are just in that horrible stage of 4-8weeks (for us that is adjusted age as they are acutally 14 weeks) where all they do is cry and want to be held which isn't an easy task with three of them.

Ryan went back to work last Monday so that has been a tough transition. Although, having his parents here was definetly a God send. It sure was nice having him home for 4 weeks. I am honestly slightly jealous that he gets to go to work. It is tough being in the same situation day in day out with no reprive. As most of you know, being a stay at home mom is not something I plan on being. I love my babies very much but am looking forward to the day I can go back to work. We believe it will be happening in June so it is not that far off so I am trying to enjoy this time with them. My mom will be watching the trio during the day at our house which is honestly the only reason I am even able to go back to work being that childcare is extremely expensive.

Even though this is a crazy time, thankfully the babies are all doing really well. The last time we went to the doctor's which was 2 weeks ago they weighed the following:
Emery - 8lbs10oz
Grayson - 8lbs3oz
Nathan - 7lbs
If they put on an oz a day which is typical weight gain at this stage then they would all be 15 oz heavier today. We go back to the doctor this Friday so we will see what their actual weights are. I keep hearing that 10lbs is the magic number as to when they will start sleeping longer at night so I am looking forward to them all reaching that weight.
