Memorial Weekend

Not a whole lot of new information to update on...

I guess I can proudly say I did take a little 2 hour road trip to my in law's cottage "up north" (the thumb) with all 4 kids! I stuffed their bellies before the car ride and headed there and came back a little over 24 hours later... I did this alone too!!! 

Hmm... last night all 3 babies slept from 10 pm to about 6:30am!! I'm crossing my fingers its not a fluke, but even if it was, the fact that they are sleeping such long stretches at 9 weeks (plus 1 month early)... I couldn't ask for too much more!

Well, I'll update soon with info on Brooke's hip ultrasound and Jason's hernia surgery... 

Also, this week we're looking into a few private schools for Adrienne; they're pricy but that is one thing I truly believe in investing in!

goodnight. Happy Memorial Day!

ps: to anyone that reads this, I need some quick dinner recipes. I am sick of plain meat, veggie, and salad! I need to get more creative =)

2 month check-up

Today we took Casey, Brooke, and Jason to their 2 month check up where they weigh:

C: 8 lb, 5 oz (same height AND weight Adrienne was born with)

B: 8 lb, 4 oz

J: 9 lb, 3 oz

They all three look wonderful and healthy... however, Jason has an umbilical hernia which should hopefully heal/correct itself within a few years (looks like an outtie) and he has inguinal hernia which will require surgery. I am so sick of hospitals and I feel so bad Jason has to even go through more needles, IVs, etc... I am happy it is a minor surgery (I had it too, when I was 11...) but I still wish my baby boy didn't have more crap to go through!!!

Adrienne is still doing great with potty training!! Just the occasional accident (usually during deep sleeps). 

Well, hopefully after this week of rain... summer will finally be here to stay so I can start going for walks and lose the baby weight! 

Ughhh I don't want the summer to come and go too quickly either. Even though I have a lot of family support... the idea of being with 4 babies alone for a year is overwhelming!! 

Not too much else to share. I'll update pics soon..... ~Sam

babies almost 2 months!

Sorry I haven't updated at all..

I guess I'll skip over a lot of details but they were born March 17:

Casey Lauren was born at 10:51am (4 lbs 7oz). NICU for 14 days

Brooke Aubrey at 10:52am (4 lbs 11oz). NICU for 16 days

Jason Phillip at 10:54am (5lbs 6oz) NICU for 22 days

As of 5/12 they weigh: 

C- 7lb 6oz

B- 7lb 4oz

J- 8lb 6oz

Still totally crazy considering Adrienne was born at 8 lbs 5 oz and we consider Jason to be the "chunky"one! Also, Adrienne was born at 9:53 pm... So the minutes are 51, 52, 53, 54.... pretty neat...

Adrienne is currently in the process of potty training!! No accidents at all yesterday/last night. but i spoke too soon and had one this morning... but i am keeping her out of diapers =) so there is only 3 to change!

I think I'll save the birth story, NICU crap for another day... it is totally overwhelming to even talk/type about!!! I just hope no one ever has to go through the emotional experience of giving birth and not having their baby (or 3) in the room for 4 days with them and leave the hospital baby-less... it is horrible.

Let's see....

-Brooke needs a hip ultrasound (for being in breech position) 

-I exclusively pumped for over 6 weeks and had a frozen supply that lasted another week! 

-Adam is working and leaves for 12 months this fall

-I am always tired! =)

-I have some daytime help, so I try to sleep in when I can

I'll try to get better with updates and pics!
