CAT | News

I have to say thank you to everyone for all of your support.  I have been having a really rough couple of past weeks.  Everything has been going wrong.  I have been so sick for the past few months, but haven’t been in to a Dr, now the girls are sick.  I did take them in though.  They all have viral infections and Alyssa and Katie have that plus ear infections.  The Dr said it came from Lilly, when she was sick, probably catching it from school.  So we are all sick now, luckily Kerry isn’t sick yet, lets keep our fingers crossed.

OK, i have to tell this sad story.  Monday I put the girls down for their morning nap, i always change them before putting them down.  Well I was so busy with things, i forgot Alyssa likes to take her diaper off.  Well a big mistake.  They didn’t want to take a nap, but i had things to do, so i let them talk to each other up stairs, that was a big mistake too!  So after a about 10 min i went up there and was smelling the most awful thing ever, to my surprise Alyssa took her poop filled diaper off and threw it everywhere, I mean everywhere!  I had so much fun cleaning that up, while they were all looking at me, laughing in their own ways!  I never thought that could happen to me!  But it did!  Then everything from that point on was just getting worse.  I got them dressed and brought them downstairs, i had to go pick up Lilly early from school to take them to the Dr.  I was trying to pick up a little and i kicked a ball, trying to kick it into the playroom, boy that didn’t work, it ended up hitting my curtain rod just in the right place in the living room and hit it precisely in the right spot and took down the rod and somehow broke and snapped.  Needless to say so did I…things just got worse from there!  I was crying so hard I was laughing at all the things that were going wrong.  I had to stop and take a min out.

While my time out I called aunt elayne.  She is always there for me!  She had some great words of wisdome!  She always seems to calm me down and help me.  She is also coming to my rescue!  She is helping me this weekend.  THANK YOU!  I cant wait.

Then I also have my cousin Lea!  What can I say about her, well what cant i say!  She also is always here for me.  She is my best friend.  She goes to school full time and works part time, but some how she found a way to come over yesterday to help me clean up and take care of the girls.  It happen to be the right day because I cant believe i actually forgot my anniversary with Kerry!  Yes i have been so wound up with things, I forgot.  Its been 5 years that we have been married, but can u believe its going to be 14 years that we are together.  Dec. 27th this year!  Kerry is the best father and husband anyone can ask for!  We are so blessed to have each other and our 4 beautiful baby girls.  So back to my story.  Lea came to our rescue and helped with everything.  After we got them to sleep she stayed here so Kerry and I could go out.  We had a lovely dinner.  And Kerry surprised me with a dozen beautiful roses.  Thanks Kerry!  Thanks Lea.

Also to my rescue are some great women i never even met.  I belong to a wonderful moms of multiples group.  I had posted some of my problems and stated I dont know what to do anymore, so these women wrote the best advice and help anyone could offer.  They are all parents of multiples so they understand where I am coming from.  Most of them offered to come and help me out and stay with me for a few days!  What some wonderful women!  If I lived close i would take them up on their offer!  So thank you to all of you!  We have to meet some day!  Thanks, im doing better with all the support and help!

Triplets Update

I only have a minute to write this as all of us here in the household are really sick.  But I know some of you like to hear how the girls are doing.  So here is the latest from the last Dr visit:

Alyssa Lynn is 19lbs 4.8 oz

Katie Sue is 20lbs 11.2 oz

Emma Elizabeth is 20lbs

The dr said they are right on track and they are doing great!  Well until now when all of us are sick!  They have been so good.  They listen really good.  I can call them or ask them to do something and they usually do it.  Were so blessed to have such a beautiful and very healthy family!

On the other hand, poor Lilly she is missing school, she has been off the last 2 days cause she is so sick!  She loves school so much!  Actually Monday she got stung by a bee for the first time.  I just missed it the teacher said.  She was playing on the jungle gym outside and put her hand directly on the bee!  She told the teacher that the monkey bars bit her! HAHAH how cute!  Shes fine, at least i know shes not allergic!  Ok thats it for now.  Hope everyone is doing good!  Please leave some comments to let me know someone is reading this!  Take care

Day at the Park

I have some very cute pictures I want to share with everyone.  I had a great time at Aunt Elayne’s this last weekend.  Thank you so much Aunt Elayne and Aunt Mary for a wonderful weekend!  We went to the park for the day, it was wonderful!  Very memorable.  I say that, because where we went is where Kerry gave me my ring.  Over 13 years ago!  There was a wedding party there and aunt Elayne went up to the bride and shared my story to her!  The story goes like this…Kerry gave me my promise ring on a bridge at worth park for my 15th birthday (I especially remember that day because that is the first time my dad ever met Kerry!)  Where the bride and groom were taking pictures is where it all started with Kerry and I.  The bride was scared because Aunt Elayne said, see what is to come with you two!  She was scared and yelled to her hubby, “guess what were having triplets.”  They were such good sports with it, they asked if they could take some pictures of all of us with the bride.  It was a lot of fun.

Anyways, here are some pictures of the girls at the park, they just loved it!

We got a Walker

OK, now I’m jealous!!  I’m with the girls all day long every day, but the one time Emma wants to walk, I am in the kitchen cleaning up.  Kerry yells to me afterwards that Emma just walked the whole room by herself with out falling.  Go figure.  I will try to get some pictures and video on here for you to see.  Already today, Emma and Alyssa were walking together but only for a few steps.  Its really weird to see them walking together, especially up close to Lilly for how tiny they are compared to her.  Katie being the first to roll over and crawl, is the last one to try to walk.  They are so cute and a true blessing!

Hi everyone, I have been so so busy, I haven’t gotten a chance to get on here and write. I know a lot of you are reading this, so please leave comments…Well where should I start. Hummm…Katie has been crawling for over a month now and is trying to stand up she does half way, she gets up on my legs and pulls herself up, half way. Emma is now crawling too, just a week ago she started. Alyssa doesn’t care too much yet she just likes sitting up and watching everyone. They are all eating their own bottles on their own now, which is so nice, but since they lay on the ground they roll over without finishing it, so i don’t know what they ate or who’s is who’s bottle…But its been a lot easier.

Lilly has been the big sister in every way including beating up her little sisters. She is such a good help, right now she is making my scrape better, putting band-aids on them saying all better mommy, Katie is crawling up my leg, Emma and Alyssa are sleeping. That’s how it always goes, one or two sleeping the other one awake then the other two wake up and the third sleeps so i never get a break during the day. Between cleaning the house, doing the dishes, washing and folding clothes, taking care of four kids and Kerry, i have been so busy and have no time to myself anymore. But I love it and I am so Blessed and wouldn’t change it for anything.

Hmmm…what else. We are so excited for this summer, our pool will be opened soon so Lilly will have something to look forward to. We might even get a chance to take the boat out. OK now Lilly is taking cute pictures of Katie who is now on my lap laughing hysterically…Anyways, oh Katie and Alyssa have there first two teeth in and Emma is still working on hers, she is the worst…Poor baby. I still cant believe I am the mother of four beautiful girls. Its a lot of work, but I love it. Well I better be going, Katie is getting mad (tired) and I need to get supper ready. I hope to hear from some of you soon, and maybe some of you will leave comments???

Oh one more last thing, the girls birthday is coming up soon…so keep an eye out for invites…I cant believe they are going to be one already, not to mention my little girl is three already, ok gotta go, Katie is pinching me. Bye for now!

Hi, I just wanted to post an over due thank you to the Girls wonderful Grandma Sue! She made the most beautiful curtains for the triplet’s room and Lilly’s room. Lilly’s room really needed them because all of the sunlight comes in, its the brightest room in the house. They are very cute, she put a lot of work into them. Lilly’s curtains are butterflies, flowers and a lot beautiful colors. The triplet’s curtains are Winnie the pooh. All the pooh stuff went to the triplets and Lilly has moved on to bigger girl stuff.

Dad and Sue got the sheers for Lilly’s baby shower and Sue made curtains to go with them. They are so cute. Makes the room look so much better and more like a nursery. Thank you. If you read this, I really thought I called you to thank you again, but I must not have. Ask everyone who has been here, that’s the first thing I tell them is to go upstairs and look at the beautiful curtains! WE all love them and Lilly now takes naps in there because the sun is blocked! Thank you so much.

I also wanted to write about the girls, but I don’t have any time anymore, they are up so much during the day, they are now playing on the ground with there big sister. They still don’t sleep through the night! So needless to say I am beat. Thank goodness for Aunts! We packed up the girls and went to Aunt Elayne’s for the last weekend. Boy was that nice, we got to see all the Aunts. Aunt Margie came over Friday night when we got there so Kerry and I could have a night out. Saturday—ALL DAY Aunt Mary came over and later that night she and I had a girls night out! Thank you so much for that and all the presents, (she spoiled me and the girls) And then there is my dear Aunt Elayne who puts up with us and lets us stay at her house, not to mention lets me sleep in and all night long! I don’t know what I would do with out these breaks. Thanks to all of you so much! We had a wonderful, very fun and relaxing weekend. Now its back to reality! Thanks sorry got to go, Emma is calling me. I will write again soon. I need to update more on the girls. Take care, hope to get some comments from this.
