Congratulations Rebekah

This week was a milestone for us. We went, all six of us, to our first party. Our good friend, and Emily's godmother is graduating from Purdue. First let me say that I am so impressed that she finished and finished on time. She is one of the only people from our class to do this. I also have to say that I am jealous that she is done. She is serving as an inspiration to me to just keep plodding ahead. I have to believe that one day I too will walking across that stage.

Anyways, her advisor Robin through a party on Saturday and we decided it would be a good way to get out of the house. Anna was so excited about going to the party and she got to wear her new white shoes so she was set. It is hard to explain, but it was sort of surreal to be there. Up until this point, our social times have been with close family and friends. There were a lot of people I didn't know well there, and I saw how crazy our life truly looks to the rest of the world. I mean honestly, how many people have four children two and under by the time they are 28? It was nice to have lots of willing arms to hold the babies and Anna reveled being the center of attention. She also ate about an entire bowl of dip and discovered that she loves guacamole.

So all in all, it was a good day. It's nice to know that we can do some sort of normal things, as long as people are willing for us to lug our crew along. So once again, congratulations Bekah!

No More Newborn

Today is a bittersweet day for me. We used our last new born diapers and now everyone has moved to size 1 (Lucy has been in size 1 for about week. It was getting pretty hard to squeeze her into the newborns). I know this seems like a silly thing to be sentimental about, but it is amazing to me how big they are getting. I keep thinking back to when they were just three pounds, and it was hard to imagine them as just normal, healthy babies. Emily still seems to tiny to me, but that is probably just in comparison to the others.

I am also sad today because my mom is leaving. I think I was in denial for awhile. I know we'll make it, it's just a matter of how crazy things get.

Doctor, Doctor, Doctor

The last two days have been a little crazy around here. It started yesterday when I took Lucy to the doctor because her eye was seeping. I had been treating it with some eye drops, but it wasn't clearing up. It turns out she had another ear infection, so she is now on another antibiotic. Good thing her eye was seeping or I would have never known.

Then this morning around 10 o'clock I heard Anna coughing and I discovered that she was in the process of swallowing a nickel. I called the doctor to make sure that was okay, and as long as it passes within the next two days, we're fine. If not she'll need x-rays. A few hours later I thought that Emily was acting lethargic so I called the doctor to make an appointment for her. It turns out she is just fine. I am probably just paraniod, but everyone at the office knows us quite well now.

Tonight everyone seems healthy and are cranky, but no more than normal. Hopefully we can all stay healthy because Grandma leaves on Saturday. The above picture is Emily on her way to the doctor. It was my first time out with just her, which was kind of nice, even if it was to the doctor's.

I started a Blog

All through my bedrest I spent my time checking other mom's blogs as a way to pass the time and to learn about life with triplets. I decided to start my own as a way for people to check and see what life is like in our house with 4 girls 2 and under. This pictures is one of the only ones we have with all four. Anna tends to be all over the place during pictures.
