4 weeks today

Has it been 4 weeks already?

And by our home baby scale our little man is about 8 lbs. Today I moved him up to size 1 diapers.

Growing pains

If growth spurts are a pain for a nursing mother with one baby, they are ridiculous for a mother of triplets. It's a bit miserable an exhausting as I feel like my tanks are running on empty. The babies especially don't like it and are acting starved. God willing this won't last much longer!

Babies are here!

Okay, I've been working on a longer birth story post with photos and such, but when it comes to sleep vs anything else, sleep usually wins :).

Remember "The Song That Never Ends" from Lambchop's Play Along?That's pretty much my life in a nutshell at the moment with a few fun things like trips to the pediatrician for bilirubin tests, wrangling with insurance, and messing with biliblankets for the girls jaundice.

Anyway, I did NOT go into labor on my own and was induced on November second, All Souls Day and the anniversary of my Grandfather's death. Labor was fast and furious and all that I had hoped and prayed.

God is so good!

Babies are A: Cecilia Anne, 5 lbs 6 oz, 1:14 pm, Baby B: Dominic Conol 5 lbs 9 oz, 1:23 pm and Baby C: Eleanor Elizabeth, 5 lbs 5 oz, 1:41pm. It was an amazing (exhausting) experience and I could not be more thankful to God for all he has given us.

I have no idea which baby is which in the photo, but then I have only a hazy memory of everything that day after the birth.
