Friday, the 23rd was the triplets actual due date, its hard to believe they are just suppose to be arriving, but they are doing awesome and growing up so fast. Maggie and Harlow weighed 8 lbs. 9 ozs on Wednesday, Blair weighed 7 lbs 5 ozs. she is our little peanut.
The girls are doing great, Maggie slept through the night once last week and Blair did on Friday night, I think it was just a fluke as it hasn't happened again, but at least I know they can do it! :) Its not too bad though Matt is a great help and I seem to do ok on little to no sleep most days. And you won't ever hear me complain because I know how VERY BLESSED I am to be able to be rocking my babies! As long as the early morning hours are when I am up sometimes for 2 hours at a time I am trying to enjoy every second of it, because I know that life is so very short and how grateful I should be for those feedings. My girls mean the world to me and I cherish every second with them.
We had the triplets baptized today and what a special day for them. Maggie's godparents are Pam and Stacey Boes, my cousins. Blair's godparents are Dusty and Rachel Poessnecker, also my cousins. Harlow's godparents are Dan and Suzi Campbell, Suzi is my wonderful best friend. The girls are very lucky as I know the godparents I chose for them will always remember them throughout their life.
We are looking forward to some more nice weather so we can all get out of the house and take some walks, I am also really hoping a little fresh air for the babies might get them to sleep through the night ;) I just purchased a triple stroller, so I am anxiously awaiting its arrival so we can test it out. I had a couple people ask if we still need anything and we do, nothing we can't live without but we could use Avent bottles and extra nipples, Diapers in size 3 or larger, 6 months or bigger sleepers and jammies. Spring and Summer clothes. 2 Bumbo Seats. Gift cards are always welcome as well so we can get them clothes as needed also.
Matt and I want to thank everyone who has thought about us, and prayed for us. We really appreicate it all, the meals, cards, money, and gifts, its all been very great and we appreciate having thoughtful friends and family.
