Baby Chaos!!!!!!

Ummm yeah, that is the only word that I can think of at the moment is CHAOS! I have finally felt half way human again and have found a little time to be able to blog.....sorry :( We now have all 3 babies home! Braylea got to come home on July 20th. So far all 3 are doing good. We have been to see eye doctors, cardiologist & the pedi all in a matter of a week. Talk about CRAZY!! Luckily my mom and sister have been there to help. I just feel bad because my mother has to take off of work to go to appts with me, but she does it willingly and for that I am thankful. Once Braylea got home, I tried to stick to the schedule they were on in the NICU, but that flew out the window pretty quick because Braylea was on a totally different schedule as the other 2 since she was in the NICU 2 weeks longer. So in between cluster feeding and diaper changes every 3 hours, I have been making a mad dash to the bed in hopes of getting at least an hour of sleep at a time! It just makes it that much harder since I don't have any help during the week because the hubster and my mom have to work and other grandmother that doesn't work just doesn't show any interest in them. When I was pregnant with the triplets everyone was all about "We will be there to help you!!", but now that they are home no is around. So that sucks, but I am survivng! I have recently made a new found friend though! She is my saving grace! She has 1 year old triplet boys and and older boy to. We met through our pediatrician. She has been soooo awesome. Her and her mother-in-law have cooked meals to go in the freezer for us and she has donated soo much stuff to us. Not only that but she lends a shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen, and offers advice when she can since she is in the same boat I am but with a years more experience than me. I can not express in words how much she has already done for us. Thanks, Mauri!
Bradyn, on the other hand, is slowly adjusting to having his sisters around. He loves to give them "kisses" all the time. But he is still starting to exhibit his "terrible 2" habits, and most recently he has shown us he has learned the art of throwing temper tantrums!
So that is just a quick note on my world, sooo much has gone on for me to remember and to post on here. Here is a slide show of all of my babies.




Until Next Time,
Take Care!!
