Oh, it has been such a long time since my last post. I will save you the excuses. The baby update is what really counts. On May 8th, we went to the doctor for our six month vaccinations. The kids had the following stats:
Lila P: 11lbs 5ozs (<3% percentile), 24.5 inches (20th percentile)
Addie G: 13lbs 11ozs (10th percentile), 25 inches (25th percentile)
Mr. Will: 13lbs 12 ozs, 25.5 inches (20th percentile)
Lila has not gained much weight, so we will be visting the doctor for regular weight checks. Given the small relative size of the babies, we will continue using high calorie formula. The babies were quite irritable after the shots. Poor Lila ended up with a 103.6 temperature.
Over Memorial Day weekend, I flew to Atlanta to visit my very pregnant sister. No, she does not have swollen ankles, nor does she waddle. (See, Timathie, aren't I a sweet, much younger sister?!) Derek, with the help of his parents, took care of the babies. I certainly missed them all! But, I did enjoy sleeping in, relaxing dinners out, and leisurely shopping.
Over this holiday weekend, I could not help but think back to last year at this time. I was 10 weeks pregnant. We knew that a triplet pregnancy would be risky, but we did not expect the complications so soon. It was the Friday before Memorial Day that I knew that something was not right. A trip to the hospital confirmed my fears; Baby A was detaching from the uterine wall. With strict bedrest, we could hope that the complication would resolve itself. And, that was the beginning of my home confinement. Of course, it was worth it! Every day, I fall more in love with Lila P, Chunky Monkey, and Mr. Will.
