Oh my! I can't believe it has been a month since my last post. So much has happened in that time, the girls are of course a ton bigger and are now playing and cooing. Lia turned over a week ago last Saturday and Viv did this past Saturday. We are still waiting on Evy, but she is the biggest so it may take her a little longer. Just about two weeks ago they seemed to be focusing more and now they really look at us and their toys. The girls are still quite a handful at night and I spend an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out how to tweak their schedule to give us a little more sleep, most of the time it is unsuccessful. They are beautiful though and super healthy which is wonderful. We also went for our first stroller ride a couple of weeks ago, and although the girls are mostly asleep during the ride, I secretly think they love it. I just can't wait for the weather to get better so we can go every day.

It has been some time since I last posted. The past 5 weeks have gone by so quickily. Lia and Evy came home from the hospital after 28 days in the NICU and then Viv came home 10 days later. Since they have been home it has been amazing to see them grow. They came home at around five pounds and now Evy and Viv are over 8 pounds and Lia is a little under.

They are also just this week, starting to focus on our faces and they continue to strengthen their necks and keeping their heads up. Of course, the sleepless nights and 3 hour feeding schedules are difficult to swallow, but that is what makes memories and besides, I think the whole thing will be a blur in less than a year. In fact, the girls are each such good babies, it is just when you have three of them taking turns being up at night, we just don't get that much sleep. Luckily our parents have been so helpful taking early morning feedings and there is an amazing group of women organized as "Team Triplet" who come over during the day and give me some relief and help feed these girls. I simply don't know what we would do without all of this help.
