Happy Friday the 13th!! I've had a few people ask what the kids are weighing now so I weighed them: Austen is a whopping 14 lbs, you'd never know he was a preemie! Caitlen & Brooklen are both just a bit over 11 lbs. All growing well. We have their 4 month dr appts the end of October, so I'll update more on weights & measures then.
Let's see what have we been up to this past week...
Last Friday/Saturday Nanna Sharon (D.J.'s mom) came for a visit. It was absolutely beautiful out so we went on a long walk, checking out some new walking paths in the area. It was fun to have Nanna visit! On Sunday we just tried to catch up on a couple of projects... you know how projects can hang over your head for a while & when you finally get them done it's such a relief... well, we got a couple of long needed projects done- YEAH! Tuesday evening I went to Archiver's to scrapbook with a couple of multiple mom's I've met. This is the 3rd time I've been able to go- we try to go every Tuesday evening. I can't say I've gotten much scrapbooking done, but it's a great social time for me!
On Wednesday morning I met 2 other mom's of triplets at Jordan Creek Mall, we walked and talked. It was great! We walked for over 2 hours, then grabbed a quick bite to eat and headed home. Lauren has 4 month old boys- Alec, Shaun & Brett and Katie has 2 year old girls- Maya, Kyra & Eryn. It was a lot of fun, but we did get stopped a few times, 3 sets of triplets-- the mass of strollers gave us away!
Thursday evening I went to a Des Moines Mother of Multiple meeting (they meet once a month)- I've only been to one, which was when I first found out there were 3!! and then I was on bedrest & couldn't go and since they were born the timing of the meeting just hasn't worked. Anyway, last night I went to the meeting, I really like talking to other mom's of multiples & hearing their stories. Not much planned for the weekend, tomorrow is D.J.'s birthday- Happy Birthday D.J.!! Then on Monday morning D.J. leaves for New York & won't be back until Wednesday night- my mom is coming down to help! (Thanks mom!!) I think I'd maybe go crazy if I was left all alone with all 3 for 3 full days & nights!! Hopefully D.J. will get to do some site seeing while out of town. Well I can hear at least 2 of them stirring in their cribs, must be close to feeding time- can't believe how fast feeding time rolls around!
