And dad helped me get my “stickpickingup” lawnmower running and I made a nice fire for Grandma to enjoy. I think the initial blast shocked Grandma a bit !

It’s funny when grandma drinks a few (or witnesses an upclose explosion) she squints her left eye and looks just like Katie !

Lilly is so cute- I’m really enjoying my time home with her.  In the past she asked for what she wanted with single words- recently she is really putting together full sentences.

Lilly is carrying around a stuffed animal “Curious George” eveyrwhere she goes. She brought him to the table yesterday and put him in a chair and said- “OK monty george time to eat”. After dinner Alyssa was sitting in the swing going back and forth.  Lilly went up to her and tried to kiss her, but Lilly’s timing was off and the swing pulled Alyssa away each time Lilly went in for the kiss.  Lilly looked up and said “Lysa don’t want to kiss me” and she went on her way.

We are doing great so far. Katie completes the trio on Wednesday. We anticipated this would be much more dificult than it has been so far. But we realize it’s very early.

The girls are wonderful. We took them in for their first appt with the pediatrician today. Everything checked out great.

We change the girls and feed them every 3-4 hours. We feed both of them at the same time. We burp them and then they usually go back to sleep. The amount of diapers, dishwasher runs- and laundry has been pretty unbelievable. Lilly is doing great- she loves her little sisters and she is really helping out where she can. So overall everything is great.

It was interesting taking the girls out in public for the first time. During the 20 minutes or so we waited in the waiting room at the doctors office- we received like 4 comments. It’s funny, people say and ask such stupid things when the encounter multiples. I’m proud and happy to talk about my triplets but I just get annoyed by people’s rude comments, and usually I just ignore them. I had one guy looking at us- and I knew he was going to say something… sure enough “So you got twins?” … I said “Yep, twins” and kept on walking. Jenell was like – “Why didn’t you tell him triplets?” I don’t want to talk to 85 strangers a day about how amazing it is we have triplets- and they all just say stupid comments.

I heard this today:

“You must have your hands full”

“Wow Twins”

“Geez you must not get any sleep”

“Sorry”

Just in a matter of 20 minutes on the first day ! I can only imagine how it will be with all three girls. On my new site- www.MultiplesNetwork.com , a person wrote a really funny (and disturbing) blog post regarding 25 “dumm” comments from people. Read it here – Dumb twin comments

They are feeding 100% through a bottle now and don’t require the feeding tube. Emma is doing well too, but needs to improve on bottle feeding.

The s were moved to a different  part of the NICU-it’s a bit smaller.

Lilly had another good day at school- she loves it!
