I just love Fridays, especially Fridays as beautiful as today.  The week started a little rough with long nights on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday night (I think maybe due to the time change), but has ended up being a very good week. We have had many wonderful visitors over the past few days.  The babies had a great visit with grandmother (their greatgrandmother) and Aunt Donna on Wednesday and then with Mrs Valorie yesterday.  My sister and her husband have also been in town since it is their spring break, so needless to say--these babies have been spoiled this week. 
We braved our first walk alone today (me, the babies and max--the dog) which went well.  We only had a few stares, simply because we only passed a few people.  I realize we look a little ridiculous, but I dont want to be a hermit and stay in all summer--so...I guess we will just look ridiculous.
They were weighed last week and continue to grow so well: Kate-9lbs 7oz, Braden-9lbs, Brooks-7lbs 12 oz---and these were last week, so I know they are even bigger now!
Only a couple more weeks till we get to get them out!!!

There have been no major changes in babies status since last update.  Thankfully, all continue to do well and are growing like weeds!  I guess the biggest change in the Morris household has been my returning to work last week.  As I expected, leaving the babies was hard, but thankfully I knew they were in good hands (my mom and sister in law will be keeping them while I am at work).  I have actually returned to a new position at a nursing home/retirement village in Hermitage.  I will definitely miss my old coworkers/friends, but made this decision based on what is best for my family at this time.  I enjoyed the new job last week and have always enjoyed working with the geriatric population.  I still have a lot to learn about PT in a rehab setting bc it is totally different than outpt PT, but I am looking forward to the new challenge.
TEIS will be coming out this week to evaluate all of the kids.  I expect them to find some "delays" since they will be assessing them as 15 week old babies (rather than the adjusted age of 7 weeks --since they were 8 weeks early---which we have learned is how we should look at them). 
We have remained homebound per MD advice, but I am so ready to get these kids out!  I am really looking forward to April (when flu and RSV season are over) so we can go on some family outings!
