June 26, 2009 Babies are one month

This is the first time we took all three together somewhere unfortunately for them it was to the doctor. June 26th, 2009



This was on June 25th almost a month old.



Here we are all wearing our eis structure movers onesies that were made at mom's shower.





Here is Ericka and allie on graduation.




Well our precious little babies just turned a month old. Time has gone by soooo fast hard to believe a month already. We have survived, the nights are long and some more sleepless than others and usually every night one of the babies have slept between us. But when you look into those little faces every second of it is worth it. We will look back and cherish this stage of their life. The pics i will post one will be of all three, one of their first trip anywhere in their carseats, which was their one month check up. and a few other cute ones. I will also put some from erickas graduation.

At their check up all is going well with the babies Joey our sweet little boy who likes everything right away weighed in at 7 pounds 9ounces. Timmy our mellow boy passed up his sister and weighed in at 7 pounds 3 ounces. And finally Caylee our drama queen, she will literally cry till you pick her up and then stops instantly, weighed in at 6 pounds 15 ounces. We are feeding them every three hours and they usually take about 3 ounces but at times one will finish what the others leave behind. People ask how many diapers we use a day, well we change them often and i think like 8-9 diapers per baby per day, but i am not counting what is in the diaper pail. It is obvious their parts are working, that is all that matters to us. Timmy is now on regular formula no more special mixing for him, when you make 24 bottles everyday it saves a bunch of time.

We have had a busy month between babies and graduation the month has flown by, Ericka graduated on June 13th. So that day we had family pics in the morning then graduation and then we had erickas party. long day but everyone had a good time. Allie has been dealing with all the commotion pretty well. She keeps saying someone else can watch the babies she wants to do whatever. it is not so easy to bring her across the street to play either. And now that she only goes to daycare one day a week she is totally bored with not having someone to play with all the time. I feel sorry for her, but she is an awesome big sister. The only time she complains is when all the babies are crying she will say she needs to go cause it is tooo loud and covers her ears. Some people know that we have two more frozen babies at the dr yet, and allie says we should go get them cause sissy's friends will help us with them. I am thinking that is not gonna happen. Calvin says maybe next year, when these three are one and running around he will be thinking twice about that decision. He will be thinking we need a bigger fence. We have started to count down the days for Ericka to leave, i don't know how i am gonna handle that. She went up north for three days and it was hard. We won't be able to talk to her for the first couple weeks of basic training. Some days i think she may be rethinking her decision, others she is all hyped to go. We will see what happens. The blank post are for me to go back and fill them in at a later time.

It's been sooo long

ok so i know this will be boring to most but i need to start from May 26th, seeing as though this is as much for the babies to have as for everyone else too. This is what i looked like when we got to the hospital the morning of the c section Ericka and Erin went with me. C section was scheduled for 4:30 depending on the results of the amnio. So we went in and had the amnio done which by the way was the worst thing ever it hurt so very bad. They took fluid from Caylee. And then an ultrasound like all the other weeks and all the babies came back looking great. Dr Hayes's nurse Ann came in and gave me the bad news and said the amnio was not mature I was devastated. Ericka too. So after the amnio they send you to labor and deliery to be monitored and after they got all the monitors on and found all the babies heartbeats i started having contractions. And they were very strong never remember having them so bad with Allie or Ericka. Ericka had called everyone after the amnio and told them it was a no go and we would call them later. So Dr Halloin came in and saw how things were going and he said everyone was already scheduled and that we were gonna just go ahead and take them. I was a little nervous cause of the amnio results but decided it was do or die. Ericka called Calvin for the third time that day and said it was back on and that he needed to get Allie and get up there ASAP. So about 4:00 calvin got his nice blue suit on and if you look a the picture you can tell he was nervous just by the way he is standing there holding his hands.

C-SECTION

Well originally it was scheduled for next Friday the 29th, they called this morning and have rescheduled it for Tuesday as long as the amnio is all good. So 4:30 on Tuesday. will keep you all posted.

34 Weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well we had our appt today, we had a u/s where they checked breathing, which all were doing, heartrates, and also movement, which i can tell you they are definately moving all the time. My peri said all passed with flying colors and he couldn't be more impressed with the whole pregnancy. so good news!!!!!!! We scheduled the amnio for tuesday morning at 8 am, you have to stay an hour after to be monitored for contractions. They said sometimes you go into labor after an amnio, we should have the results before we leave. YEAH!!!!!! They said the c-section will either be on thursday or friday. After we saw the ob and he measured me, omg i measured 53 weeks, how nice is that? he could have just said HUGE. lol I am still not dialated at all!!!! We talked about the c-section and i asked him if he would come in this weekend if it was to happen, i know wishful thinking, he said he will be gone friday and saturday and that if it did happen to wait till sunday. So i guess it is just a waiting game now.
