Comments when we go out in public

So I thought I would write about all the rude and great things we here when we go out in public. We either feel like a freak show or like celebrities. So here are some of the rude things we get, and the responses we normally give.

*Are they Natural:

Well obviously they are not plastic.

*Did you take fertility pills:

We normally just tell people there spontaneous, But inside i am thinking Why does it matter how they were conceived.

*Are they Twins:

Nope there are 3 of them which would make them Triplets

*Are they all Boys:

I just point to the highly PINK car seat Gracie is sitting In.

I know this doesn't sound like a rude Comment but I get so SICK of hearing You have your hands full. We here it about 100 times when we are out and about. It just gets extremely old. Like we don't already know that we have our hands full.
I normally just say Our hands are full of blessings.

* Are they born on the same day:
or are they the same age:

Triplets normally are.

* Glad its you and not me:

Me To obviously you couldn't handle it.

*I feel sorry for you:

Well don't. I feel sorry that your weren't blessed with such a wonderful thing.

I truly cannot believe the nerve of some people. I am sure there are some I am leaving out but these are the ones that get to us the most.
Now for the positive.

* You are so blessed

* They are all adorable, Cute ETC....

Yep that's about it for the Positive. Its amazing to me that the first thing that comes to peoples mind is always something rude. I guess I just have to tell myself that they don't know any better and that it is always shocking to see triplets.

Our Schedule

So I know I haven't blogged in a while, I have been sitting here thinking about what to write. So i decided many of you that don't have triplets might be curious to see what our daily schedule might be like. So here we go.

7:00 am we all wake up. I bring one by one down the stairs normally Blaine first then Collin and then Gracie. I change diapers and place them in a swing or a bouncy.
We play for about and hour then they get there bottles.

Gracie- 6 oz
Blaine- 8 oz
Collin- 7 oz



After they are done eating I place them in the numerous toys we have for them.



After about an hour of playing & yelling. Its time for a nap. They sleep for about 2 hours and that's when I try to get some stuff done around the house. 11:00am I wake them if they are not already awake talking in there cribs. Again bring one by one down the stairs change diapers and time for there solid food. They normally get a fruit with some kind of cereal in it. Once again it is time to play.
12:00pm is bottle time. After bottles They again play for an hour or just chill in there chairs with some toy in hand.
Around 1:00 it is nap time again. This is when I take the time to relax and catch up on my shows that recorded the night before. I do also make there bottles for the next day.
Around 2:00-2:30 they wake up and again play. 4:00 is bottle time. Around the time they finish bottles Daddy walks in the door. He around 4:30-5 helps me take them upstairs for there last nap of the day which is about an hour long.
6:00 We go upstairs and bring them down for there solids. They normally get a Veggie and a fruit of some sort.
They play for a while around 7:00 we bath them if its bath night which is every other night. By the time we are done with baths its there 8:00 Bottle and off to bed we all go.
By bed time I am exhausted I pick up the toys and clutter from the day, And sit my butt on the couch. We are in bed by 10:00 and the next day its starts all over.


This is the amount of food we go threw a day with them.




Here is a ruff estimate on how many bottles I have made since they were born
4,989

This is a really rough estimate on how many diapers we have gone threw.
4403
I averaged this about 17 diapers a day

Growing so fast

So we made our first family trip this past weekend. I was so nervous about taking them to a strange place for the weekend, But everything went great. I threw a baby shower for my best friend in Grand Junction which is about a 4 hour drive. The babies were wonderful. They slept great at a strange house and even did well with all the people there on Saturday. My sister took Collin and Gracie over night on Saturday. It was so nice to have just one baby. Don't get me wrong I missed the other 2 like crazy. Aaron and I both went to bed with something tugging on our hearts. Needless to say we were so glad to go pick them back. All in all it was a great trip. We definitely will be making more trips this summer.

Gracie is Miss Independent she will be the first to do it all. The other day I found her on all fours and rocking back in forth. This means we will have a crawler soon. Although I can't wait for them to be mobile I am sure I will regret saying that some day. LOL She is cutting her bottom 2 teeth, they haven't made it through yet but there working on it. She figures she will out do the boys and get both at once. She finally is sleeping through the night now yayyyy me. Although we had to put her in a different room then the boys. We had to let her cry it out, she has learned to put her own binky back in so we leave 3 or 4 in her crib so she can find one easily.

Blaine is our eater. He loves his food and will eat anything. I think that he may pass up Collin here soon weight wise. He is taller then Collin now but not quit as chunky yet. He is our most active one when it comes to playing. He loves his walker and he takes it very serious. He chases anything that moves in the house and if he wants something he knows exactly how to get to it. He thinks everything is a Jumper when he is standing on you he will start bouncing like you are going to make him bounce. He has his first tooth and he wasn't grumpy when it came through so we will See how the next one goes.

Collin is my lazy little man. He will sit in his toys and look around but doesn't do much beyond that. Lately he has been running a fever hopefully do to teething. He also has one of his bottom teeth. I think he is getting the other one because he has been a grumpy boy lately which is so out of character for him. It so cute to see him smile with his little tooth showing. I am so in love with all of them.

I can't believe they are already 7 months old it felt like yesterday they were still in my tummy..

Well I have to say that my house gets louder and louder everyday. As they get bigger more noise comes out of them. I can't say that I mind though it is rather cute.. Solid food is going well Blaine and Gracie will eat just about anything, Collin on the other hand is a little picky but if you encourage him, he does a lot better. They all got there first teething cookie the other day and absolutely loved it. Collin did not know what to think of it and gagged a little but the second time we tried it he was ok with it.

I cannot wait for summer to be here. We have a nice back yard and I can't wait to hang in it. I want the babies to be able to wear all there cute summer clothes and hang outside. I feel Like we have been cooped up in this house for ever. This summer we will have more visitors and be able to go do a lot more. In 2 weeks I am taking the babies to Grand Junction with me so I can throw my friend Jess a Baby shower. My husband keeps asking why I don't just leave them here, But I can't find the heart to do that. I can imagine myself getting separation anxiety and maybe a little sick to my stomach without them. So call me crazy but we are packing up and going. I am definitely nervous about it. They do not do well sleeping other places but I am going to do my best to bring what makes them feel comfortable. I am sure I will have lots of help there.

I am looking forward to meeting my best friend Kristin's Son for the first time, And seeing my sweet little Kylie. Kristin was there when I had my babies and I was there for her first. Nickolas is almost 5 months old now and I still have yet to meet him I can't wait. After all him and My little Gracie have an arranged marriage. LOL

Anyways I am loving being back in Colorado being near family is very important to me. I want my babies to grow up with a cousin near by and Grandma and Pa Pa a 10 min drive away. Although I do wish Aaron's parents were closer so they could get to know them as well. I am so blessed have such wonderful people in my life, and a husband that I love very much although he can be a pain in my ass at times. I feel like I have 4 kids instead of 3 but that's what makes my life so fun.

Well until the next time.......

6 Months

Its so amazing how far my little ones have come since they were born. I can't believe how big they are. I love watching every milestone. They had there first solid foods the other night and it was so funny. Gracie and Blaine Loved there Peaches and couldn't get enough of them. Collin on the other hand wasn't a fan. He was gagging and i have to admit it was funny. So the next night we let Collin have sweat potatoes and he loved them.

Collin has to go the the Cardiologist on the 19th just to do a check up on a slight Murmur they detected when he was born, But I am sure its nothing. And Blaine goes to get

fitted for his helmet on the 20th. Poor little guy. Aaron is excited to decorate it though. He wants to put race cars all over it lol. Imagine that! Gracie is just as healthy as a can be. I can't wait to see how much weight they have gained in 2 months. They go to the Doctor on the 13th. Hopefully the Doc tells me I can take the 2 off the expensive Formula.

Since moving back to Colorado I have joined a Group called S.T.O.R.M (Super Twins of The Rocky Mountains) So far I have met some amazing Women and can't wait to meet more. They do so many fun activities and Dinners. I look forward to doing so much more with this Group.

Anyways Life is wonderful as always. I have not wrote anything in a while i am going to try to do better.
