Last Saturday (Sep. 23) was Stacey's official due date for a 40 week pregnancy. It's amazing to think that the girls are already 6 weeks old and are changing every week. Some highlights from the last couple weeks include:

• holding their heads up
• drinking 3 oz. at each feeding
• eating every 4 hours instead of every 3 during the overnight=more sleep for Mommy and Daddy.
• Evie and Olivia have gastric reflux :( but are tolerating it well with a little Zantac and extra burping.
  
• possibly? a smile or two for Grandma H. and Auntie Michelle--(that's our story and we're sticking to it)

No photos yet, but an update today on the girls' weights.

Olivia 6 lbs. 2 oz. 18 1/2"
Evie 6 lbs. 3.5 oz 18 3/4"
Sophie 5 lbs. 11oz. 19 1/4"

Had Stacey's been a "normal" pregnancy, she would be about week shy of her due date by now. The triplets are gaining weight each week and are now drinking 65 mL, which is between 2 and 3 fl. oz.

Stay tuned for more updates and photos---I promise :)

The Adventures of Olivia, Evie, & Sophie

Hello!

We triplets are now over 3 weeks old and have been eating, sleeping, pooping, and growing!

But that's not all, in the last 2 weeks, our daddy and mommy took us on a few new excursions. We took our first stroller ride through the neighborhood, enjoyed some "tummy time", and took a car ride out to Payne Lake on Labor Day. We attracted quite a crowd of gawkers out at the cottage and we didn't even get out of the Mini-Van!! After that, we were quite pooped (figuratively and literally) and it was time to get back to our normal routine.

We eat every three hours and try to sleep between feedings, but occasionally we must squawk and fuss. Mommy says the "honeymoon" period is almost over as we don't always want to go back to sleep or settle down right away after meals.

At the last weigh in (a week ago) we grew like weeds!
Olivia 5 lbs. 3.5 oz.
Evie 5 lbs. 3 oz.
Sophie 4 lbs. 12.5 oz.

Our favorite activities include: Baths from Daddy, nursing from Mommy, and all the hugs and love from Auntie Michelle (hmmm....I wonder who helped us write this)

Thank you again for all your prayers, meals, words of encouragement and love!
