Getting settled in...

Can you tell we have babies home and not a lot of free time on our hands?! I've been trying to update since Tuesday, but haven't had luck finishing it! The good news is we've made it pretty successfully through our first 5 days at home!! My mom has stayed with us all except one night, which has been my saving grace so i can get a few consecutive hours of sleep. With the babies eating every 3 hours, by the time they are finished with one feeding, it's almost time to start another one, so it's been nice having an extra person in the rotation!


We had our first pediatrician visit, and they all checked out with a clean bill of health! They continue to grow and as of Tuesday...we had our first 5 pound baby..Colby! The dr. said at this point, they should be gaining an ounce or so a day, so if those calculations are right, all 3 of them should be really close to 5lbs now!!
Cooper has also been getting better every day. He is VERY protective, and while he still really wants to lick them from head to toe, he resists. The poor puppy has been tired too...b/c he's up with us every feeding and every peep they make in between! He figured out real quick what the bobbys are for....
And is pretty understanding when they are occupied... :)
We had our first bath at home too! And i don't think that is something we are going to do without at least 2 people for a long time! It doesn't take too terribly long when one person can wash and they other one can dry and dress. They all got to be "babies in a bag" after their baths...and looked VERY cute!!

Avery after her bath...
Colby after his bath...
They continue to sleep most of the day...and sometimes snuggle too!!But sometime we get to see their bright eyes!! (Usually about 2am!)
