The past two weeks have gone so quickly. We are continually amazed by how quickly the babies are developing. We voluntarily participate in a program that follows and tracks the development of babies associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. (Now, if you ask me, delivering triplets at 34wks is hardly an adverse outcome. But, I realize that we don't want all babes born so early!) The nurse stopped in two weeks ago, and she was quite pleased with the babies' progress. All the babies do a great job of holding their heads 90 degrees when on their tummies, tracking items, and putting their hands together. At the time of the evaluation, only Will and Lila had rolled over (tummy to back), but I am now pleased to report that the Chunky Monkey can now roll over. In sum, the babies are tracking in line, and in some cases ahead, of their adjusted ages.
Our most recent developmental milestones include Will rolling from his back to tummy (oops, I don't think he liked that much!), Will jumping like a mad man in his Rainforest Jumperoo, and all the babies trying to hold their bottles. Their clumsy attempts certainly slow down feeding time, but I love it!
Last week, Derek and I took the babies for pictures. The photographer, Meghan, did a fantastic job. She was very patient with the babies, taking lots of pictures. I am sure that you all saw the link to the pictures. Some of my favorite pictures are the "action shots." Will rolled from his tummy to his back as fast as he possibly could.
And, I cannot fail to mention that I slept 12 hours last night. Yep, twelve. That has not happened since I was on bedrest. My in-laws are here, and they graciously volunteered to take the night shift. I am very thankful. Now, I will be well-rested for my grad school finals this week.
