4 Month Check-Up

Today the babies had their 4 month check up and shots.

Unfortunately the apt was right when they would normally be eating. They were playful and happy for the first half of the appointment after a nice cat nap on the ride there. The second half of the appointment they got tired. Over tired babies and shots really don't mix. But they calmed right back down and snoozed on the way home and on our walk. I was thinking about how appointments with one baby would go...probably faster, with three it takes almost 2 hours at the doctors office and then another forty minutes of transit time. When they were younger we would plan on feeding them at the office. This time we got away with feeding them before and after.

All three got a clean bill of health and some homework. The backs of their heads are getting a bit flat so for the next 2 months we have to adjust how we are holding them and during the day keep them up off their backs...so we will have to pin Ethan down because the instant you put him on his belly he's rolling over to his back.

They are growing like weeds and doing just what they should be. They kept flipping between the full term growth chart and the adjusted age chart and they looked good on both.

Ethan
Weight: 15lb 14.5oz
Length: 25 inches

Leah
Weight: 16lb 13.5oz
Length: 25.5 inches

Logan
Weight: 14lb 15oz
Length: 23.75 inches

At this rate they will be too long for their car seats in 3-4 months. Time to start shopping and watching for deals.



Logan, Leah (speaking her mind), & Ethan

35 Weeks

A couple weeks ago while in the hospital I was just hoping to make it to 34 weeks, and here we are at 35 weeks...only 8 more days to go. I had a doctor appointment on Friday and the babies still looked great, so it's up to me to take it easy for one more week and drink a whole bunch of water to keep the contractions away. My belly is really starting to feel heavy when I stand up and while sitting, as it rests on my legs. In all I'm still not all too uncomfortable. Yesterday was my 29th birthday. I was thinking about how people always want to reflect back and say they are still 29...I'm sure my hugeness isn't what they are imagining. I've been upstairs for the most part lately, avoiding the steps. So instead of taking my pictures in my usual spot I had to find someplace upstairs. I'm in front of the babies room door. For fun I took pictures from every angle. Hopefully I'll get one more set of pictures next week.

Yarrrr

It was a nice day and we couldn't help but take our little buccaneers to the park and of course by the water. Yes, today was talk like a pirate day...yarrr. We've been working on getting them to hold our hand while walking in public. If they don't hold our hand they get carried. Their response was if, if you are going to hold my hand I'm going to sit. Two of them sat half way across the bridge so we had the third sit and hoped to get a picture of all three. The following pictures are what we ended up with.

The Floor

For some reason it is just so much fun to throw food on the floor... The babies have gotten really bad over the last few days about throwing food on the floor. They will scoop up huge hand fulls of food and just chuck it. The other day I came up with a solution that seemed to work, I gave them spoons. I helped them put food on the spoon and get it into their mouths. Ethan was even picking up food and placing it on his spoon and tried to get it into his mouth. I just hope the novelty of the spoon doesn't wear off too soon, Missy (our dog) is getting a little chunky. Ethan Logan Leah
