october

Sorry, I always forget to update this blog, mainly because I do most of the updates on Facebook. So I know some of my family doesn't have facebook so I will try and make sure I do more updates here, but for those who do have it...Look me up, lol.

The kids are doing wonderful. Hard to believe that they 24 weekers. They talk nonstop. They love to cause all kinds of mischief, that's probably their favorite thing to do. There's the brain (Ryan) the muscle (Dylan) and the distractor (Ava) and look out when they're all together. They love the Toy Story movies, it is literally the only time they will even look at the TV. The other morning when Dylan woke up all you heard him say (over & over) was "To infinity and beyond" , he loves Buzz.

Their still not growing so we are getting ready to go to Cleveland Clinic to have them looked over. Ava weighs almost 18 lbs, Ryan is 18 lbs 3 oz, and Dylan weighs 22 lbs. Height wise they are between 30"-34", so they're still pretty tiny.

Delaney is loving 1st grade, such a big girl. She is taking Tap, Ballet & Jazz this year. She is going through that awkward stage where she's missing all her teeth and the new BIG ones are coming in, still adorable though. She used to love the babies and they could do no wrong, but now that they are getting into her room all the time she has other opinions. In the next few weeks I'm going to redo Delaney's room and move Ava in....she's yet to find this out.

I finished school and passed my State Boards. I can't wait to start job hunting. I'm having surgery Nov 1st then after that I'm going to start looking. Right now with the kids at Daycare/Preschool, and Delaney at school, I'm finally getting a chance to go through all the baby stuff, and just enjoy the quiet. I'll be honest I think the 1st week I was done with school, I think I slept the entire week away. Lol.

I promise I will do my best and try and leave more updates. Until then here's a new picture of the kiddos, enjoy.

june update

So Delaney's out of school for the Summer, and already bored, and can't wait for 1st grade to start. She just finshed her 4th year of dance. She did so good at her recital. Such a big girl. I can't believe how grown up she's becoming. She has her 1st crush...Justin Beiber, she begged for Greg to buy her his poster for her room. I thought Greg was going to cry or throw up, not too sure which. We are totally not ready for any of this! I can't believe she's going to be 6 in a month! She was just my lil bald baby, now she's turning 6 and asking for a cell phone for her brthday...which by the way she will NOT be getting. She's such a good little girl though. Im so proud of her.

The triplets are still at School, and doing very well. They have all been pretty healthy. Ryan was the first to get stitches (out of the NICU). He got his finger pinched in the bathroom door about a week ago. It popped the whole nail out of the nail bed. So they had to take the nail off and then stitch it back on so the cuticle would stay open for the new nail. We are now waiting for the old nail to fall off, and let me tell you...it's just not pretty. Other than that they are doing great. Finally they are starting to talk...alot. I know I used to wish they would just talk, and now I just wish for a moment of silence. They went on their 1st boat ride. Two outta three loved it ( I'm pretty sure Dylan was just completely sea sick )
The triplets are still very small for their age. I'm in the process of trying to get them into a Developmental Pediatrician, they need to have their thyroids checked out along with their developmental delays evaluated. Hopefully the Docs can figure something out for me.

I only have 1 more month of school left. I'm so excited. This was something I had wanted to do for so long, I still can't believe I actually did it. I just really wish I would have went for nursing...I think that will be in the near future...maybe.

Make sure you check back I'll be uploading pictures in the next few days!

lil update on Ryan

Ok so Ryan had RSV in Jan, and he seemed to be ok mid Feb. He was off all the oxygen and doing well. The insurance finally approved him for the synagis injection so at the end of Feb he got his 1st dose. After that he seemed like he was getting a lil cold. Well a lil cold stirred up all the breathing problems and everything all over again. No hospital stay this time, but he is having a problem keeping his Sats up. So he is back on oxygen. He had an echocardiogram done this morning and goes back to the Dr on Wed. He also has to have a sleep study done, and the earliest appointment they had was June 4th. So keep your fingers crossed and say a prayer that everything comes back ok and we get this figured out.

The rest of the kiddos are doing fine, running around like crazy little munchkins. I'll tell you what 3 two years olds is just plain crazy!!! I have to be all gray under all this color in my hair. The boys are nuts and Ava is such a moody little girl. Greg and I took them with us to the store yesterday and we had to look like we were gonna lose it, cause we sure felt like it. It will be awhile before I try that again!

Hopefully tonight they'll be in good moods and I can get some pics of them for the blog....heres to hoping.

Honestly I haven't forgot about my blog, but seriously have nothing new going on. Nothing. I can say that having 3 two year olds in the house has been a huge challenge the last few weeks. I can't believe that they can really be that rotten. They had better grow out of this, that all I have to say.

Dylan hasn't slept through the night in about a month now. He wakes up screaming at the top of his lungs, you would seriously think someones trying to kill him. I've tried to let him scream it out a few times, but since the other 2 are in the same room, he ends up waking everyone. I'm starting to wonder if he's having night terrors or something. He is honestly the easiest to put down at night, he goes right to bed, but come 2/3 o'clock in the morning and he's up. I think I'm going to be calling the doctor. I'll let ya know what they say.

update

Well Ryan came home from the Hospital last Sunday. He came home on oxygen, but we went to the Drs Thursday and they took him off. Said his lungs are crystal clear. Thank goodness, that lil man was a mess.

Because all the lil ones have been sick, none of them have been going to school. The Inlaws have been watching them. Not the best thing for them, but we really didn't have an option. SO lets just say they are all spoiled rotten right now. I am so happy we can all go back to school tomorrow.

Oh and I have to give a BiG shout out to my Mama. The last few weeks she has helped me sooo much with our laundry. Washing, drying, sorting, folding, boxing up all the outgrown clothes. I can not even begin to tell you the amount of baby clothes we have. Since I started school I just haven't had the time to go through them all. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Mom!!!

During the haircut I shed a few tears.

After...such a BiG boy =(

update

ok I've been slacking, I promise I will try to keep up with this. There's just been alot going on. School is going good, i could sure use a bit of a break though. Greg finally found a job, not doing want he likes or would really want to, but for now it will work, better than being laid off. Delaney is doing wonderful in school, it still kinda kicks her butt. She goes to bed between 7 - 7:30 and gets up around 7 the next morning. that girl needs her sleep! Now for the best news....the babies go to bed at the same time...and for the most part have been sleeping through the night.

I still can't believe the babies are 2! That went by sooo fast! I have tons and tons of pictures to upload.

Right now Ryan is in the hospital. Greg took him to the doctors Sat morning while I was at school, because he was a lil sick but he looked awful. Come to find out he was only sating in the 70's so they had to call a squad to take him to the hospital. Come to find out he has pneumonia, RSV, and double ear infections. He is on oxygen so he cant come home yet. They have been trying to wean him for 2 days but he cant seem to keep his sats up. He was never really sick at home really just the day before, this is a total shocker. Ava had to come to the ER yesterday for the same thing. She was discharged to go home, she wasn't nearly as bad as Ryan. Hopefully he'll get better in the next few days and come home.

Be looking for pictures....their coming I swear!
