Welcome to 2009!
posted on 01/02/2009
I am sure everyone is dying to know about how we are all doing. I have a few minutes today that I seem to be ahead of the game so I thought I would say hi and let everyone know what its like to be a mom of 5 girls ages 4 and under! 
The girls are doing awesome! They eat and sleep and poop and thats about it! They wake on their own every 3 hours for a feeding, which isn't so bad. It usually takes half an hour to feed each baby, so I am up from 1:30 a.m. till about 3 feeding and then back up at 4:30 a.m. to start over. Matt helps me out usually with one feeding.
The are all gaining weight and doing awesome! I have already lost all that baby weight, I weighed 172 when I got pregnant with the triplets, weighed 220 when I had them, and I am down to 170 as of last week
As soon as I get the ok from my doc I hope to shed another 20 lbs at least.
I am nursing and pumping, its very slow going but will continue for at least this month, they all get bottles with formula though, so it takes more time to nurse. so far not going through a ton of diapers they get changed at about every other feeding unless I can smell them! LOL! I am sure that will change soon enough though.
I love being a mommy! I truly feel complete its such an amazing feeling. Matt comes home in the evenings and see the girls lined up in their bouncy seats in the living room and he just laughs, he is SUCH a Proud daddy, its such an awesome feeling to see him with all his girls. He has always been an awesome daddy but he is proving to me more and more each day why I married him and love him so much!
So to sum it up, so far its been pretty easy, we have a pretty good routine and I still manage to make supper, do the laundry, pick up the house and everything else each day, somedays I amaze myself a little at all I did get done.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!
