Triplet Times

The babies have been home for a month and a half now!! Wow how time flies when you are sleep deprived! I cannot complain too much since they have recently blessed us with 5 hour streches of sleep at night time. However that doesnt mean Mommy gets 5 hours. That 5 hours includes feeding 3 babies, changing diapers, dealing with any baby that thinks they need to stay up and party, and of coarse the story of my life- pumping breast milk. Just call me Bessie and you will find me out back in the Milk Barn.

Due to RSV (extrememly severe respiratory virus that can be fatal to preemie babies) Season arriving, we have began the Synagis Shots for this. These are preventative shots, but not 100% fail proof. These shots are done once a month for 6 months and cost a whopping $1000.00 per shot. Thank You Aetna Insurance Plan for your 100% coverage of these bad boys! Due to RSV season we will not be taking the babies out in public places until the spring time. So home sweet home is where we will be. Its like when I was on bed rest, except now I can leave my room and bed.

The babies are growing and growing! When we went to the doctor on Friday for the RSV shots they all were between 8-9 pounds now. They are starting to smile and they are learning to bat at the toys on their toy bar. Mommy was pretty impressed when they started this last week.

Mommy's birthday and Halloween are the next big events for us. However due to RSV and the fact that we only eat breastmilk, we wont be doing Trick Or Treating this year. We will however be festive and wear our pumpkin outfits for the occasion. Hopefully there will be another spare moment to post another blog of Halloween pictures.
