The triplets are doing very well. We may bring Alyssa and Katie home next week !

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!

Our daughter Lilly is over two years old now and she says some really funny things. When we talk about the triplets we ask her “what do you want brothers or sisters?” she always says “sistas- mommy FOUR sistas” Who knows maybe we are having quads !

Her vocabulary is amazing and her sentences are starting to come together too. I understand everything she says- Kerry has troubles at times. Can you guess what some of these more tricky words are meant to be ? Leave a comment below with your answers and comment with some words of your own…

1. mote
2. montey
3. bo bobboos
4. bee boo
5. bach
6. itsey
7. bobel
8. apo buse
9. pitsuu
10. wanta (this is a tough one)

I will follow up with the answers in a later post

Try the diaper calculator Kerry made. It’s pretty funny. It will tell you how many diapers you can expect to change, and the cost and time involved.

I found some interesting facts about triplets here -

(Kerry Here)

Aside from a very minor issue this morning (see image below) the bathroom remodel is going just SUPER !

My caring wife, in what can only be described as a state of pure panic and concern– managed to take like 15 pictures of the incident… Have a laugh yourself –> See Bathroom Remodel Images

Please comment with ideas for a good alternate title for this post – I was going to use one of the following:

• Where’s my shoe ?
• Triplet elevator Install day 1
• Has anyone seen Kerry ?
• You put your left leg in, your left leg out —In out, in out, —you shake it all about You do the Hokey …
• Tickle tickle tickle….

Apparently sandals are not good footwear for construction work- My foot slipped off the supporting beam and well– you see the picture.
