I have wonderful intentions of updating this site at least weekly, but as you can see...that does not always happen. Since I have been a stay at home mom for the past few weeks, I honestly do not know where the time goes. My day typically starts around 6:30am and the next thing I know, it is 4:00pm and Travis is home. If it has been a good day, I will have real clothes and maybe even a little make up on, but Travis will be the first to tell you that this does not happen everyday! Thankfully, I have a wonderful husband who will laugh at me and love me anyways.
As far as the babies go, everyone is doing well. We had MD appt last week and got new weights on everyone: Kate-8lbs 4oz, Braden:7lbs 10 oz and Brooks:6lbs 4 oz. Kate has now been back on breastmilk for the past week and a half and thankfully has been tolerating it well. For now, she is receiving only breastmilk and I have started supplementing with formula b/t the boys. Braden and Brooks were not huge fans of the formula at first, but have transitioned to the occasional bottle well. They do spit up quite a bit more, but overall are doing well.
Yesterday, we had a coordinator with TEIS (Tennessee Early Intervention Systems) come out to start the process on having all 3 evaluated to see if they will qualify for TEIS services. Since they were 8 weeks premature, they will likely qualify and begin receiving therapies at home in the near future. I am looking forward to this beginning--I feel like they are all doing well, but I figure some extra, specialized help will be great for their development.
Monday is the big day--I return to work after being out for 5 months! I am looking forward to getting into a routine, but am really going to miss my little angels!

I can not believe how quickly my little ones are growing! I know they are still very small (especially for their age--12 weeks tomorrow), but they have changed so much in the past few weeks.
Big news this week--Kate and Braden rolled over! Kate was the first to roll over (from her stomach to back) on Tuesday. Braden has been working hard at trying to roll as well and just this morning rolled from his stomach to his back. Brooks will not be far behind. You can tell he is trying so hard when I lie him on his stomach to flip, but has not been able to do it yet.
They are becoming much more aware of their surroundings and will just gaze at the TV and ceiling fans in awe. They are also smiling at me much more these days--which I cant seem to get enough of.
They are doing much bettter with sleeping and have gone 5 hour stretches every night this week. I have even been able to sleep in my own bed (until this week, I had been sleeping on floor in living room). I have been reading quite a bit lately looking for tips on getting 3 babies on a schedule. The book I have been reading emphasizes keeping them in a routine rather than focusing on a schedule which has helped. They are napping better and sleeping better at night.
Overall, we are all doing well. They have an MD appt next week for their first round of immunizations which I am not looking forward to.
