Triplets are 3!

2011-01-12T18:56:00.000-08:00

It's been way too long since I last posted! But as you can all imagine I have been busy! We celebrated the boys 3rd birthday, November 6th, with their friends at our local McDonalds! They had a great time and received lots of nice gifts.

As of the last few weeks they have really figured out the whole language thing! They are talking up a storm instead of using just one or two words at a time we are getting five and six word sentences. They are starting to grow up fast now and it is getting harder and harder to call them "the babies" anymore!

Ethan's doing so well, has totally adjusted to public school and has made some nice new friends while keeping the old when he goes to Sunday school with 13 of the kids from his old school!
I had a conference with his teacher this afternoon, she gave me his test scores that are based on national averaged....he is well above average on all but one skill and even that one he was above average just not well above!! We are so very proud of him. Ethan is still a great big brother and is enjoying the guys so much more now that they are more active on his level.

New School year

2010-08-26T19:53:00.000-07:00

Well folks my Ethan just started Kindergarten! He is attending a new school the only kids he knows there are brother and sister from our neighborhood and both are are in different grades.

The first day of school he came home and told me he has a new best friend named Cole! That's my boy~

The triplets have a wonderful new teacher this year and they have an assistant teacher Ms. Ella who was their lead teacher last year and I think that gives them great comfort upon entering a new room.

They are really coming into themselves with their speech and independant personalities.

As for the parents...we have been coping nanny free for about 4 months.

Jackie is really enjoying her job with the Sheriffs department keeping criminals in their place (jail)! She is still living with us and lets us get out on occassion and we are greatful for that!

UPDATE

2010-07-11T19:57:00.000-07:00

So it's been a long, long time since I last posted.

The boys are going to be 3 in November and I just noticed that my last post was them turning 2!

That's how busy I have been. Not to mention that Facebook has really taken over the need for a blog.

In any event...........

The boys are great all about 30 lbs and happy as ever

Benjamin got glasses about 3 months ago and Cameron may need a minor eye surgery, I will find out in a few weeks.

Alex has really come a long way with the head squeezer!!! (Crainial therapist)

Ethan is still the best boy I know~ loving sweet brother. He is going to start Kindergarten in August can you believe my big boy is getting so old??

We are TWO!!!!

2009-11-09T13:08:00.000-08:00

Ok folks, we have made it through year two with our terrific trio!
All three are walking now....yahhhhoooo!
They are still the sweetist guys you could ever know.....besides our great Ethan.
They got a round of shots today including the H1N1 mist (for swine flu) and the regular flu shot!

Their official weights and sizes are as follows:

Alexander-25lbs 11oz and 33 inches

Benjamin- 24lbs 11oz and 32 3/4 inches I think he wiggled and is really the same size!

Cameron- 25lbs 5oz and 33 inches

So if you look back in time or cared enough to remember, Cameron has always been about a half pound less than Alex and Ben has been a half pound less than Cameron. So right on target with that!

Our doctor says they are doing great no major concerns!

20 Months

2009-07-25T06:19:00.000-07:00

We have been having ECI (Early Childhood Intervention) come to the house for all kinds of therapy for the triplets to help them get caught up.
Each time they come they get weighed so here is the report:

Alex- 22 lbs 15oz and 31 1/2 inches

Ben- 22 lbs 4oz and 31 1/2 inches

Cameron- 22 lbs 7oz 31 3/4 inches

The nutrition therapist said she was done with them....we put her out of business because they are caught up!

The oral therapist said she was done working with them on the chewing and now we will start speech therapy with her.

Cameron has taken 6 consecutive steps, Alex is still just taking one at a time and Ben is still my little froggy!

18 Month check in

2009-06-20T20:43:00.000-07:00

The boys went for their 18 month well baby check up. (they are 19 months now) Doctor was booked....But I digress.

Here are the weights:

Alex- 22 lbs 9 oz

Ben- 21 lbs 11 oz

Cameron- 21 lbs 14 oz

They have multiplied their birth weight by more than 7 times.

No one is walking yet, although Cameron took two steps on his own today.

They eat anything I put in front of them...thank goodness!

All three are very happy and seldom cry.

We are off bottles all together and have just three meals a day now! YEAH!

They go to bed around 7 and sleep til 7:30am and then go back to sleep til about 11 eat at 12:30pm and then nap again at 1:30 til about 4 then eat dinner at 5:30.

Ethan is a great big brother and we couldn't be more proud of him.

He will be starting summer camp next week and the can you believe he will be in Pre-K next fall.

Blanca made this for us!

2008-12-23T05:43:00.000-08:00

The boys went to the doctor for their one year check up. The doctor said if you had asked him a year ago where he expected them to be at a year old, that they have actually exceeded his expectations! Here are their weights:

Alexander- 21 lbs 4 oz

Benjamin- 20 lbs 2 oz

Cameron- 21 lbs 2 oz

They are all about 30 inches in length.

We can actually say in height for Alex since he stands up now!

This is Alex. He didn't pull up. We put him there because he always tries to stand in our laps. We tried it out and he liked it. He stood there for quite a while and played with the links.

Look who's sitting up!!

Out to dinner.

2008-09-17T06:34:00.000-07:00

We took the triplets out to dinner for the first time last night. They got to go to Mexican Inn on Camp Bowie. They behaved themselves...it was their 3 1/2 year old brother that was the trouble maker. But he is still a little kid himself so we don't mind a little trouble from him, especially when we are out with the triplets.

I found some time!

2008-09-02T13:50:00.000-07:00

With Ethan back in school I found time to start making my own baby food.
I started with carrots. I got 2 bundles of carrots for $1.34 each and it made 20 jars worth of food. Those cost 46 cents each at Walmart. YOU DO THE MATH!!!
I am set to do peas next! It only took about an hour so it is well worth it.
Ethan used to eat 3 jars at a time.....so with three babies eating three jars each....we would be in the poor house.

Doctor check up update!

2008-08-27T16:13:00.000-07:00

We took the triplets to their 9 month check-up today.
They now weigh in at:
Alexander- 19lbs and 28 inches
Benjamin- 17lbs 9oz and 28 inches
Cameron- 18lbs 12oz and 28 1/2 inches
They each got one shot and were super troopers!
He said they are all right where they need to be for this age and development.

2008-07-27T08:28:00.000-07:00

Look at this series....all I ask is for one good group picture!!!! I wonder how old they will be when I finally get the money shot!!!

Update!

2008-07-13T08:25:00.000-07:00

For those of you who not up to the minute on the Triplets status!.....They are all on the same formula now, and have been eating solids since the end of May. Just like their big brother Ethan, they never turn down the spoon!!! Green beans, squash and peas have all been welcomed with big open mouths!
They are showing signs of crawling. They push up on their arms and kick their legs.
They are very quick with the smiles, and are pretty much happy all the time. Sometimes I wonder if they are just that content or if they are trying to figure out why there are so many babies that look the same in one room! When we put them on the floor on a big blanket they try to get to each other and they grab hands and faces. It is very sweet to watch. (and photograph..of course)
They don't see the doctor until the end of August so I am not sure how much they weigh. Although I weighed Alex on our scale at home and he is about 15 1/2 pounds.
That is about it for now.

The weights

2008-01-07T19:40:00.000-08:00

So Saturday I took the babies out for their first public outing (that wasn't a doctors appointment) It was sort of a mob seen. Everyone wanted to stop and look at them! It was fun.

So here are their weights as of this morning.
Alex- 7lbs 2oz
Benjamin- 5 lbs 15.5oz
Cameron-7lbs 1oz
They have grown about 5 to 6 inches in length since birth! Wow how do they do that???

Poor babies got 3 shots each. They go back in 2 weeks and get 3 more and weighed again.

The latest

2007-12-07T21:13:00.000-08:00

Hello Everyone,
I thought I would give you some weight updates and some other news in Triplet world!
Alex is 4lb 7oz, Benjamin is 3lb 11oz, and Cameron is 4lb 9oz.
Alex and Cameron got circumcised on Tuesday. Ben will most likely get his done next week. Since he is still in an incubater they have to wait until he is in an open crib. He will get moved into an open crib in the next few days as long as he maintains his own body temperature, then a few days after that he can be circumcised.
The doctors have been talking about sending Alex and Cameron home sometime next week, as early as Monday. This is pending they get through the weekend with out and complications and they have to pass their car seat test. That is where they are put into the car seat for 90 minutes, and they can't have any heart rate decelerations that last longer than 20 seconds.
For those of you who haven't heard.......Jackie has decided to stay with us full time. She is going to live with us for a year! She is a real life saver.
That is about it for now.

Two Boys One Bed!

2007-11-17T13:10:00.000-08:00

Alex and Cameron are finally together again! The two of them are doing really well so it was time to put them in the same bed. The doctors think they do better together. Benjamin is well on his way to joining his brothers. He was taken off the extra oxygen this morning and the nurse said he has been breathing normally and they will continue to keep a close eye on him. Once they feel comfortable that he can maintain stability he will join Alex and Cameron.

Time to hold Alexander

2007-11-14T16:34:00.000-08:00

Got to hold Alex for the first time today!!! Changed the first diaper too.... Yippy! Many Many more to come!!!

First time to hold one of the babies

2007-11-13T17:15:00.001-08:00

Today I got to hold Cameron for the first time! It was wonderful, to finally hold a baby after a week of watching them from outside their boxs. Here is a picture.

Birth Day for the boys

2007-11-13T17:09:00.000-08:00

November 6th Alexander Jess 3lbs 3oz, Benjamin Nathan 2lbs 10oz, and Cameron Harris 3 lbs were born at 12:11, 12:12, and 12:13 in the a.m. At 29 weeks gestation 11 weeks early all were breathing on their own. We are very lucky they are doing so well.

up to the minute report

2007-10-31T16:35:00.000-07:00

I just got back from a sonogram. The baby that is smaller seems to have a bit of restriction to his cord. Hence the lack of growth. They are now going to put him on the fetal monitor for an hour in the morning and an hour at night. If there are any signs of struggle, I will be sent down for a sonogram and the doctor will reassess. We are just taking it day by day now. Also he seems to think only two are identical and one is a singleton. I don't care......I just want them healthy.

2007-10-27T10:13:00.000-07:00

The doctor weighed the babies today.....2 lbs 1 oz, 2 lbs 7 oz, and 2 lbs 12 oz. He is a little concerned about the smaller one and will start doing sonograms twice a week now. He did grow some since the last weigh in but not nearly as much as the other 2. We are not in panic mode just yet! Just keeping a close eye out for growth. In other news......I have gone into labor two times this week and they have given me medicine to stop it.....so far that has worked and we are thankful that I am in the hospital at this point. Better to be here than at home obviously!

I want to again thank everyone for their love and support.
Love to all.

Out of my room!

2007-10-21T14:55:00.000-07:00

I was allowed out of my room today! Mom and Dad took me for a ride in a wheel chair outside for 20 whole minutes. The fresh air was wonderful. The nurse took my blood pressure when I got back to the room and all was normal. So they will let me out again soon. A friend of mind is coming in on Tuesday to have a scheduled C-section so I may get wheeled down to visit her! I hope the doctor checks the babies by sonogram tomorrow, check in for a new report!

The weigh in!

2007-10-15T14:41:00.001-07:00

The doctor just came in and took me to weigh the babies. Here goes in A B C order. 2lb 2oz, 1lb 14oz, and 2lb even.

One week down

Well I have been on hospital bed rest for a little over a week now. The nurses and all the staff up here are great. The food is actually pretty good. Although any time anyone wants to bring in a meal.....I won't argue!!! My blood pressure has been stable since my arrival. Just goes to show how good bed rest can be. The down side is I miss the heck out of Ethan and Rob. I do get the occasional visits though. All the love and support from friends and family has been so wonderful and I have to really thank everyone for that. Thank you to all who have come to see me and called to check on me, really THANKS! My doctor is out of town until Wednesday so I may not have any sugnificant updates on the babies until then. Keep tuning in!

For those of you who don't know.....I am in the hospital. The doctor wants me on bed rest here and close monitoring for high blood pressure and signs of Preeclampsia. I feel good and the blood pressure has gone down since I have been taking it easy. I have my own room and the food is not too bad. I am in the Jones building at Harris Downtown. For those of you who know me call Rob to get the room number and phone number. You can call Jerry and Sylvia or Melissa too!
There is no limit on the visiting hours and I am always in my room.

Hey guys! I have to go to the doctor tomorrow to take a 3 hour diabetes test, I failed the one hour so just to be sure it wasn't a false positive they do this longer one. Plus the doctor wanted to give me a complete check up and he will tell me if I have to be admitted to the hospital.
Hopefully I will get to come home and post the good news....otherwise I hope the hospital has Internet access!

Well guys....a bit of bad news from the doctor today....he is talking about putting me in the hospital for the rest of the pregnancy. I will know something on Thursday or Friday. I had some tests done this morning and along with high blood pressure he is worried about pre-eclampsia. Of course I will keep you all posted and I will add some sonogram pictures tomorrow morning.

Hello all,
I saw the doctor today, the babies are all great. He just warned me to really start seriously taking it easy. He is starting to see signs that I might have to go on bed rest. But for now I am fine. We are really trying to nail down some names. That is where we are this week. Keep checking in.
