2 months old!

Owen, Lyla and Noah are 2 months old!

The time has flown by, and yet the days are LONG! It's really hard living life in 3-4 hour intervals! But I'm getting the hang of it, and will be on my own this coming Monday for the first time! I've had help from my mother, family and friends everyday since the babies came home, and before that for the month that I was on bed rest. It's going to be a whole new world being alone with 4 children under the age of 3!

Emmalee loves her baby brothers and sister. She coos at them and pets them so gently. She sometimes forgets that they're here, but that is totally expected, because she is a toddler and her world is all about her! She is going to be the challenging part of my day. Keeping her occupied and entertained while I feed each of the babies is going to be difficult. I know she'll sit and watch TV all day, if I let her, but I don't want that to become a habit. Of course at first, it might be the only way to keep her out of trouble. We will see!

At the triplet's 2 month checkup, they have made excellent growth! Owen is 10lbs, Lyla is 7lbs12oz and Noah is 7lbs11oz! They are doing amazing. They boys had their circumcisions, and the Dr. who did it put rings on that were way too tight, so they had to be removed at their appointment (thank God we had it!) because they were swelling up so bad, and starting to look infected. Poor boys, they were so upset and sore, and to top things off they had to have 4 shots for immunizations! They are healing very nicely though, and are no longer in pain. Thank goodness!

Andy has been home all week, it has been nice having him here. Unfortunately during his week off our van broke down, and had to be repaired all week. The dealer that we got it from had to cover all the work, because they gave us a 6mo extension on the Lemon Warranty, and we are still within that time frame. They were really giving us a hard time about it though, so Andy spent 3 of his days off playing phone tag with these jerks, arguing about what they need to do for us. Luckily we got a loaner van, so we could get some running around done that we had planned.

Life with triplets is amazing. Never a dull moment, and they each have their own personality. Emmalee is already an amazing big sister, and I can't wait until she can start really communicating with them! That will be amazing! Noah really responds to her when she talks to him, it's so adorable!
