The Holtelts have had a rough few days fighting the stomach flu. Lila was sick on Thursday, Addie on Saturday, and Mommy and Will last night. So far, so good for Derek. Lila and Will looked so scared and confused after they got sick. I felt so bad for them. Addie was a tough gal, though. The stomach flu didn't even slow her down. But, I think we did slow down the Grandmas, who, unfortunately, caught the bug, too. Sorry!
Fortunately, we had window of health, and Derek and I took Will to his first Cardinals' game on Saturday. (We have decided to take the kiddos one at a time, weather permitting.) It was hot, and the loud cheers of the crowd scared Will. So, we ate and shopped our way through the ballpark. Will was especially fond of Dippin' Dots ice cream. But, he was not fond of his new Fredbird doll. He still screams when he sees it!
I'll post some pictures soon.
About Me
- Becky
- Derek and I were married in 2003. In April 2007, we learned that we were pregnant...with triplets! The pregnancy went very well, partly due to two months of modified bed rest. On November 7, 2007, we learned that Baby C (William) was intra-uterine growth restricted. In other words, he was not receiving adequate blood flow and was in jeopardy. Within two hours of this finding, we delivered the babies. Lila and Will were able to immediately breathe room air. Addie needed a ventilator but only for 16 hours! The triplets stayed in the NICU long enough to coordinate the "suck, swallow, breathe." Derek and I feel so blessed to have three babies!

Get well soon! We're going through some sickies here too right now. Hopefully everyone gets well soon!
Becky,
I am glad that you and the babies are on the mend. I hope Derek continues to stay well. I know it will take a while for you and the babies to get your appetites back. Yesterday, one of my co-workers brought a stinky, greasy hamburger to work and ate it at the table about 6 feet away from me. The smell of the burger was so hellacious and obnoxious that I was feeling "Just get that burger away from me, Satan!!!! I hope that Sandy will feel better soon and that no one else gets it. It's R-O-U-G-H!!!! Love, Grandma Linda
