Don't you wish you were me...

Just another night putting the girls to sleep.... No. Honestly, they don't always act like this when I lay them down. They don't do this for their two naps during the day. Only at night. Tonight, however, they were cuttin' up pretty good. I must say though, within the next 5 minutes two of the three babies were asleep. Charlotte took another 45 minutes but she had a 10 minute cat nap around 430. So she wasn't as sleepy. Anyway, watch..... feel sorry for me..... (haha jk!)

Bad week for Abigail

Poor Abigail has had a rough week. First of all, both of her front two teeth are cutting through at the same time so she is very sensitive and sore. THEN, she bumped her head on the hard wood floor. I was letting all three girls stand up against the couch. Charlotte was leaning over so I grabbed her with both hands and as soon as I did that, BAM! Abi slipped through and her head hit the floor. I felt so sick about it all day. Poor baby cried SO hard! Agh I felt awful for her. THEN, during the morning feeding I saw bite marks on her arm. It was a perfect impression of TWO FRONT TEETH.... the only baby I have with both her front teeth is Charlotte. So.... not sure why Charli is biting her sisters but I will be doing some investigating. Poor Abi...

If you look closely you can see a red/blue mark on her temple...

Bite marks on her forearm....

Crazy Sleeper

Mia Bia likes the blankets over her head. She was like this at 700 am. No tellin how long she was like this... haha

Look at these chubby LEGS!!! HAHA

Abigail-Mia-Charlotte

(Literally 3 minutes after I took this picture, Abigail fell to the left and landed head first on the hardwood floor. See "Bad week for Abigail" post.)

Movin' and Snarlin'

I told you I would get a video with Abi doing one of her cute things. Well, here you go! She loves to squish her nose up and just blow out. It is hilarious. See for yourself.

Here is another one of Abi making her face, but it also shows Charlotte doing her FREAKING hilarious crawl. She refuses to crawl like a normal baby. She crawls like she's an injured solider. You'll understand after you see it.

Aquarium

Somehow, someway Jared and my mom convinced me to load up my three kiddos and make a 2 hour drive to Chattanooga and visit the Tennessee Aquarium. Let me just emphasize what a home body I am and how much stress ANY excursion puts on me.... So again, Im not sure how it happened but it happened. Overall, the trip was a success. The girls loved seeing the fish and all the people everywhere. They were able to stay on their same eating schedule. The naps in the car didn't go as well as I hoped, and they were incredibly tired when we got home just in time for baths and bed, as was Mimi, Jared and I. But it was fun to take the kids out and let them experience something as cool as an aquarium. However, it was over 90 degrees. Incredibly crowded due to Memorial Day visitors. And I felt like a pack mule as almost everything I owned was in the back of our pick up truck. I was prepared for ANYTHING! I was tired, sweaty, sore, hungry, and ready to pass out anywhere. But I honestly dont regret going. The girls had a ton of fun and we were able to take a trip with Mimi before Jared leaves on Wednesday. It was a great memory. Thanks Mimi for talking me into it!

Here are pictures of our trip and a video! Enjoy!

Let's go mom!

Cutest little twins around!

Whoa! What is that?!

Charlotte thought the fish swimming around was the most awesome thing!

Family Photo

First Mia was out...

Then Abigail... So cute.

We wore them smooth out! (And they wore us out too!) = )

Charli the Sailor Girl

Charlotte has been making the silliest face lately. Whenever she is in the sun she squints up her eye and it is hilarious. She wont leave her sunglasses or a hat on so the poor girl just has to endure the sun. Well it makes for a funny picture anyway.

*As a side note, she has been making the same face indoors lately. So it now kind of has me worried that something is wrong with her eye. I'll be asking the doctor about it soon.*

I want....

• I want to wake up every morning to laughing babies, not crying ones.
• I want to move into my own house, not a rented one.
• I want to know exactly how to soothe my girls every time they throw a fit.
• I want to feel, for at least 60 seconds, like I'm actually capable of taking care of three babies.
• I want to get along with my husband every single day.
• I want to not have to ever worry about anything and everything.
• I want to be a culinary genius.
• I want to never ever for one single moment begrudge my calling as a mother to triplets.
• I want to have time enough to breathe in really deep and let it out. Then do it again.

Ok. Im done whining.

I got sunshine.

They love playing outside. We lay out a blanket and their toys and give them a snack and water. They just have a ball. Its the simple things.

Me and Mama Mia

I just have so much fun with these three. Today I was on the floor with them and they just launched themselves at me. They were pulling my hair and climbing over me. They interact with me and each other so well now. Its a blast. They mimic what I do and they pull at each other's shirts to get whatever design is on them. Its just priceless.

Well it happened. I knew it would one day. And its here.... today. Charlotte stood up. Thats right folks. She can now stand herself up in her crib. I was just getting used to them crawling around and now she's standing up. I can not believe how fast this goes by.

almost there

Just had to post very quickly that I lost 1.6 pounds this week! YEAH ME!! That means Ive lost just under 14 pounds!!! 16 pounds is my next goal, its 10% of my body weight. Then just a few more pounds to finish it off! Only 9 pounds total more to go! Sorry im just so excited Im getting so close to my goal weight!!!!

YEAH!

As a side note, can I just say this is what I looked like this time last year?! Very pregnant with triplets and only a little over a month till delivery. Now I have 10 month old triplets. Good grief. Time completely changes with a year.
