32 weeks x2

The pregnancy lasted 32 weeks (almost 8 of those in the hospital). Today the boys are 8 months old... or 32 weeks (4 & 5 weeks of those spent in the hospital). The last 8 months have gone much quicker since the boys joined our family, and I fall a little more in love each day. What a privilege each moment continues to be to live in this home and be with these wonderful little angels... all 6 of them. And of course my wonderful other half too!

The boys roll all over on the floor and often get stuck under things and in between things. Sitting up is still a work in progress as well as finger foods. They are all about 17-18lbs and together are eating about 9 containers of food a day + a box of 8oz cereal every 2 days + 75oz of bottle every day. 
(That's about 270 containers of baby food, 15 boxes of cereal, and 24 cans of formula every month). 
I just love how chubby they are getting!

Easter Weekend

We had our first road trip with the triplets, and I was thrilled to discover that I finally got babies that will sleep in their carseats! On our 4 hour trip to Cedar City they hardly fussed at all, and were easily soothed with toys, songs, & bottles. Very awesome! Our girls would all scream for hours and hours during any car trip, and it now seems worth all those hours of stress to have these wonderful little road trippers.

We enjoyed introducing the triplets to many of Mark's family who hadn't yet met them due to our winter quarantine, and we also enjoyed spending time with all the others again. It was a great break for me being able to just take care of kids (with Mark there!!!) and not worry about all those things that my dear sister-in-law took on... like food, planning, entertaining, etc. Not to mention the break from laundry! It was a great weekend.



Cousin Fun on Easter

Birthday Singing to the soon-to-be 15 year old!

An afternoon at the park
(there were more cousins there, but of course I forgot to get the camera out until 1/2 had left)

Our Easter Baskets were filled a little early before we left for our road trip and the girls got plenty of candy and a few books.
