Thanks AUNT DEBBIE for staying over night, helping with the triplets and Lilly and giving us a break !

Come again anytime !

The girls are doing well.  We recently switched their formula and they are doing good. It’s pretty amazing that they have tripled in weight since birth ! They are staying awake more and smiling.

The girls are doing great.  On Friday we were having some issues. Jenell and I were just exhausted and the girls were very fussy and we hadn’t had a break in a while. For me the hardest part is the monotony. Feeding the girls and changing them isn’t so dificult, but for me doing it over and over again is the hard part. The fact the I have the attention span of a small child doesn’t help either.

Jenell called her Aunt Elayne (who has helped us so much already) to tell her the date of the girls baptism. Naturally Elayne asked  “how is it going?” Jenell said “to be honest not good”. Elayne said “I’m packing my bag I will be there in 2 hours” !! (she lives 2 hours away) Jenell argued and said that is not the reason she called.  Elayne said ” your not going to convince me otherwise I will be there in 2 hours.”

Needless to say-  Jenell’s aunt is amazing. She is such a good person and she is so good with babies! I slept in yesterday and I feel great ! Refreshed and ready to go on. She couldn’t have come at a better time.  I was going loopy myself and Jenell was about to lose it too

Elayne let us sleep in, she let us get out of the house,  she even fed all three girls by herself a few times ! Thank YOU !!!

Bobbie, Kelly and Ben stopped by for an overight visit during labor day weekend.  We really had fun spending time with them and they were a great help with the girls.  It’s also just nice to have a break and to talk with adults ! Kerry also had a good time making a video game on the computer with Ben

Once the girls get bigger we really want to make a trip up to Eau Claire for a visit.

The girls are doing great. We are both very tired, but its worth it ! We took the girls shopping today , they slept the entire time.  It was nice to get out.  Pictured below- Ben and Emma

Thank you Melissa and Dabin (David) for staying with us and helping with the triplets and playing with Lilly. Lilly misses David already- she keeps saying Dabin- When she wakes up she says “Dabin Sleeping?” – When she drinks she says “Dabin Drink too?” and on and on…

I just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU TO our old friend Chris for helping us out this last weekend. Not only did she help us with Lilly, she helped me clean and organize the house and on top of that she bought us supper! How great is that. Thank you so much Chris for that great treat, you are welcome here anytime.

On top of all of this, she also helped me out a lot before the girls came, she went out of her way to get items for me on local groups and brought them here and even payed for some of them! We cant thank you enough, thanks..

Thank you to aunt Mary and aunt Margie for spending the day with us yesterday ! Aunt aunt Elyane a few days prior and Leah and others .

They helped with the triplets, Lilly, laundry, organizing baby clothes- they even brought lunch. AND Mary made us lasagna. We had it for dinner last night and it was the best lasagna I have ever had !

Lilly keeps saying aunties coming over , daddy ? It was so nice of them especially with such a long drive.

Also I wanted to share something with everyone that is going to get me in trouble when Jenell reads this. Jenell was telling someone on the phone yesterday how nice it was of Mary and Margie, and the person on the other end said “what could you possibly need help with? they just eat and sleep” – I won’t name this person. “What could we possibly need help with !!” I laughed. What kind of complete idiot would say something so stupid? Really this question is so insane that I am speechless and it makes me laugh.

• 270 diaper changes a week – oops plus Lilly so well over 300
• Prepare 168 bottles per week – plus Lilly drinks and eats too
• Feed 3 premature babies 168 time per week total
• Achieve 336 burps a week – and that doesn’t include me !
• Run the dishwasher and empty 21 times per week
• Do the laundry and fold- 24 hours a day
• mow and trim ~ 2 acres of grass
• Clean and upkeep ~2500 sq feet of house
• Care for, feed, change, play with, Lilly
• All on a couple hours of sleep if we’re lucky

So right- what could we possibly need help with? My rant for this morning!

I think we could handle 10 more babies if it were the case, but a little help- even just a little interaction with adults is nice and we will take it ! Luckily Jenell and I are well organized and we are getting things done AND there are plenty of family members and friends that are helping out (and we really appreciate it!).
