Back at it.........

Ok, so don't hold it against me that it has taken me until March 1 to actually start the blog up again. I had every intention to start sooner but one thing became another and another. Regardless, I am FINALLY back at it. My plan for the blog is to no longer update you with every little thing but to provide a little insight to our daily life as full time working parents of triplets. Being parents of multiples is harder than you will ever know unless you are one but throw in the fact that they were premature and it takes the hard up a notch. We have been very fortunate with the health of E,G & N and how well they are doing but there are times we have to remember that even though they are 13.5m old actual they are only 11m adjusted. They take longer to do things which can be frustrating at times but we just have to remember that they were 10 weeks early and therefore spent time outside of the womb developing when they should have been doing that in the womb. That being said everyone is doing well developing on target in some areas, ahead in others and slightly behind in a few. Of course, we are focused on getting the ones they are behind in taken care of as soon as possible and thankfully because the of their prematurity they qualify for Early Intervention Programs with the county. They have been evaluated and the boys will begin receiving speech therapy while Emery receives Physical Therapy once a week. We are excited to see how well the therapy helps and how quickly we will see changes. I will be sure to provide updates.

Since it has been over 6 months since you received any updates on everyone I will provide a little insight to where they are now and who they have become..... Emery is our social butterfly. She is very chatty, loves to sit with anyone as long as they are talking to her. She loves to point and wave right now and is trying really hard to walk. She has really flexible limbs and is bow legged so we think that makes it a little more challenging for her to walk but we know she will get it very soon. Grayson is our first official walker. He is ALL boy and doesn't seem to have much fear. He loves to be busy and doesn't require as much sleep as the other two. Nathan is our sweet little boy who loves to laugh. I think he will be our next official walker as he generally doesn't let Grayson out shine him for long. He is still dealing with reflux and is the smallest of the 3 but it doesn't slow him down. He is a fighter and has been since day one.

Here are some recent pics for everyone to enjoy:
