5 months!

yaaaa! 5 months!

We had a busy few weeks since they came home. Tons of doctors appointments with service plans being set up to carefully monitor their development to make sure they stay on target with their 'corrected' age (meaning they should only be 6 weeks old).  

So far so good that all the evaluations show that are at least that advanced so very promising news.  Everyone is holding their heads up nicely,  following eye contact and sound, responding to touch, etc.  A few concerns about tightness in the hips and shoulders,  so we were given some stretching exercises.  They didn't say but I'm guessing it's from laying in cribs for 5 months.  

Excited that we seem to be moving into the 'smile at everything' stage, will be taking lots of pics of that. 

Also pumped about our triplet stroller.  I brought it to the pediatrician office and it was a cinch to use.  I feel like superwoman to be able to now easily travel with the trio by myself. No stopping us now!

Doesn't it look like Sammy is telling Elsie a secret?

The dogs are so good with them, better than I could have imagined

Still have lots of help at feeding times :)

My view today :)  Elsie doesn't like being bundled up

Woah oh oh oh Staying alive...Staying alive

Elsie is fascinated by what Auntie Tracey is saying

We barely fit in the elevator!

Daddy's birthday!

Miguel turned 40 today! We celebrated when he got home from work.  And by celebrated I mean Elsie vomited all over herself and Danny screamed bloody murder as Miguel tried to comfort him for 2 hours until he passed out. Happy Birthday!

We've had a busy first week,  but we are getting organized. We were pretty prepared by our freaking fantastic nurses at Women and Infants, so the transition was fairly smooth.  The hardest part is Miguel is back to work and with all the meds that means I have to be present and focused for every feeding. Challenging with a lack of sleep, but I feel I've been sleeping more than I was expecting.  So yaaaa!

I'm excited to be putting the trips together more on the floor or in bouncy chairs so they can interact with each other.  I put Danny and Elsie on the boppies facing each other and Danny worked so hard to get closer to her.  Here's the videos :)

We had a photo shoot the other day that was awesome!  I highly recommend Betsy Hynes Photography in Braintree. She was so patient and very creative to get 3 babies to participate.  So go like her page on Facebook.
