Week 21

Too Cute...Nakey, Gettin' ready for bed! Max "Giggles" Stinner


Alexander "Fabio" Stinner

Emerson "Smart Guy" Stinner

Week 21


5 months & counting! That's right my babies are 5 months old. I can't believe the time went so fast. My babies are now starting to think about crawling and sitting and Max is trying to walk...ok...he stands with help and bounces around. It's all very amusing to me. They all have these awful screaming fits from 6pm-9pm nightly. It's almost as if they are colicky. I don't get it. I think they may be teething too....Before I know it they'll be in college.

They have the most amazing little personalities. I can totally see their individuality now. They are all completely different too. Emerson is the strong silent type. He has this amazing silent laugh that you think his head will explode before noise comes out. But if you bite his neck just right this cool belly laugh comes out. He loves music and this strange Canadian kids show called the Doodlebops. If they are on, don't think about getting in his way. He doesn't want to be looked at if he is drinking his bottle or pooping. If you do he grunts and cries. He's a private child. Max is so serious sometime. You can dance around like an idiot in front of him and he'll never crack a smile but if you grab his sides or tickle him he lets out this laugh that is so deep you'd think it came from a grown man. He stands straight up and gives you the most serious scowls, like he knows what your thinking...and your wrong! He knows all at 5 months. I am so screwed when it comes to him. Alexander, my angel baby AKA Giggles! If you even look at that kid, he cracks up. Don't even think about touching his neck or his sides, he'll laugh for 20 minutes. He coos and goos. I've never heard such a little baby with such an extensive vocabulary. He has the most unbelievable personality. I think he'll be a politician, he can woo and poop at the same time....like I said...a life in politics would be perfect.

It's a very sad time in my life right now. I had to stop breast feeding. I am so depressed about it. I would have done it for at least a year but I felt it was time to stop. It seemed to be non-nutritive for the boys, I definately couldn't keep up with the demand. But, I can feel good knowing I nursed 3 babies for 5 months. So now maybe I'll start a new hobby like, I made baby food for the first time today...Martha Stewart watch out. I just wanted to see if I could do it. Honestly, It took more time to make the sweet potatoes than it took for me to drive to Tops and pick it up. I would love to make all their food but I don't know if I could do it time wise. It does feel amazing to know that I am feeding them food that I made with my own hands, that there are no preservatives or additives. Nothing yucky. Maybe every now and than.

A Love Letter

For the longest time I remeber people bragging about their children saying oh Billy did this and Bobby said this and little Suzy is sooooo smart. I thought to myself I would never be that kind of bragger and yet I find myself bragging daily about the accomplishments of my 4 amazing children. I have realized that when the parents are bragging they are just telling people how much THEY LOVE THEIR CHILDREN. Maybe they need to stop trying to convince other people and start telling their children how much they truly love them and how proud they are. Someday I plan to give this blog to my children. I want them to know step by step the first few years of their lives and someday soon I am going to chronicle the whole polish adoption process for Austin and when I do I want them to know how much I loved and love them. So these are love letters to my children:



Austin-

I know sometime I'm short with you. I don't spend as much time telling you I love you as I do yelling at you. The truth is I look at those beautiful hazel eyes and I melt. I see this incredible young man who is so smart and inquizative and I think what did I do to deserve such an amazing child. You see I know you where sent to us. You may have not come from my belly but you definately came from my heart. Your father and I prayed for a special child to love and care for and God sent us you. I want you to know I wouldn't change anything. If I had to go back to Poland and start all over again I would do it in a heart beat. Be patient with me, I am doing the best I can. I promise someday it will get better. Your brothers will be more independent and you and I can start our dates again. I love you so much I am so glad you are my son.

Your Mother



Emerson-

I look at you and think what will he be when he grows up, a doctor, a lawyer, a husband, a father, all the above or something completely different. All I know is you will be someone amazing. You have this quiet intensity that leads me to believe your contiplating taking over the world. My incredibly beautiful child know that your Mommy lives and breathes for you. I can't believe that someone so incredible came from my body. You look at me like I have all the answers, I don't. I will make mistakes and have all the wrong answers but I will try my best to be the best Mom I can be. I love you so much and I am so glad that you are also my son.

Your Mother



Maxim-

My perfect angel. When I'm feeling bad or sad I take one look at you and I feel the love. You make me smile like I never have before. You are so smart that I know you will be independent before your brothers. You won't need me like they do and that scares me. For now I will soak in every moment with you. Every croked smile I will cherish, every giggle every smerk. You are a piece of my heart that I can never put into words. I can't imagine you not in my life. You are what I created and I promise you all of me, always.I love you so much and I'm so glad you are also my son.

Your Mother

Alexander-

I am so in love with you. That amzing little giggle turns me back into a child. I want to eat you up. You are so innocent, so beautiful, so perfect. Everything anbout me and your father that is good. I know you are going to be so strong when you grow up. You have come such a long way already I see only amazing things in your future. You, your brothers and your father are the loves of my life. I love you so muchand I'm so glad that you are also my son.

Your Mother

I hope you all understand that your father and I are doing the best that we can. Our love is so strong yet we will make bad desions along the way. All we can do is our best to give you all you need. I will do my part by teaching you to love and respect everyone around you. I will protect you the best I can and my love will never change for you. You are now and will always be the best things that have ever happened to me.

Weeks 19 & 20


HAPPY NEW YEAR! This has been an interesting year already and we are only a little over a week in. The boys are all growing like weeds. My big boy is going to be 5 in just about a month and it got me reflecting on his first 5 years and how fast they went. I can't believe he is going to be 5 already. It seem like yesterday he was saying "mamadada" yes all jumbled like that. And now he says thing like "I can't help asking questions like that, I'm just inquisitive like that." Yes he said "inquisitive". Who says things like that, no 5 year old I ever met. We got his paperwork for Kindergarten and I almost cried. Is he really ready for Kindergarten already? Where did the time go? Was I here? Did I miss it? I feel a little lost when it comes to him. He has truly learned to press my buttons and test my patients. I know it's because he is jealous. I know I was when my sisters where born and I was 12 and 14 years old. It must be devastating for Austin to have 3 babies taking up all Mommy and Daddy's attention. My poor son. We are trying to spend more time with him but sometimes there aren't enough hours in the day. I look up and it's midnight and I still haven't done laundry and there are sweet potatoes on the carpet. My big baby is growing up and I feel like I am missing it.

We had a scary time this week. Alex ended up with an staph infection in his surgical wound. I was unaware that you could get an infection months after surgery. But you can. The Dr. said he would need surgery to explore where the infection came from. Well, we prayed and prayed and much to our surprise he didn't need surgery. The infection is healing and everything seems to be fine. We will still have to keep an eye on him for a while but he looks like he's on the road to recovery!

A little update on the boys progress as preemies. The most amazing things have been happening. They are all holding up their heads very well. Sometimes Alex's center of gravity gets the best of him but in general he is doing fine. Emerson is trying desperately to sit up. He loves to sit between your legs with his legs crossed. They all reach for their toys and are interacting with the toys that make noise. They all seem to have favorite toys. Emerson has a monkey that he has to have. Alex loves his turtle to chew on and recently Max got a giraffe that is also a flashlight. He chews on it and talks to it. Speaking of talking, all the babies coo and say AHHH GOO. Alex and Emerson started the KKKAAAA in the back of their throats(David says this will help them with the German language). Max has his own language he says OOOHHHH several times and just yesterday started saying UT OH! It's very funny to hear someone so little say Ut oh over and over. Max is also the one who is very strong. He already stands straight up. You can hold both hands and he will go from laying down to standing up. The physical therapist says they are all doing well considering they are only 12 weeks corrected, meaning they should technically only be 12 weeks old. Preemies don't usually do things at the same pace as full term babies. But they are catching up quickly.

As of this week we put the babies in their big boy cribs and man o man am I having separation anxiety. I thought I would sleep better without them in the room with me, but I'm not. In fact I wake up at least every hour or so and have to go check on them. I can hear them on the baby monitor and technically they are only about 15 feet away from me but those two doors and and hallway seem like a million miles away.

All the babies are sleeping through the night. I've been told it's because they eat cereal before they go to bed and they stay fuller longer. Very rarely does somebody wake up before 7 am and they all seem to just eat a baba and go back to sleep. So most of the time they wake up between 9am and 11am. The 11am would be Max he is definitely the best sleeper. They still take a couple of cat naps during the day but only in short periods. They will take a 10 minute nap here or an hour there. We had a 3 hour stretch one day and I had to keep checking if they where breathing. It was freaking me out. I got two weeks worth of laundry put away. They all seem to have the same fussy time. Everyday in between 6pm-9pm they moan and groan and whine terribly. ALL THREE OF THEM. This kind of sucks because it's when their dad comes home. I think he's starting to take it personal. During the day they are angels. No problem. They don't usually sleep or eat all at once which is kind of nice but it is more time consuming. I know they are fussy during the evening because I am trying to feed Austin and get him ready for school and David is taking my attention which they hate. They seem to want me all to their selves. They are going to have such bad separation anxiety when I go to Las Vegas in February. That's right people. I am going away....alone (with my two sisters) for 4 days in February for my Daddy's wedding. I have arranged for David to have people here around the clock to help. He will only be alone in small doses. Keep him in your prayers just in case he looses his mind! He'll be fine! I hope!

Week 16-18

Max and the Sweet Potato War...He Won!
Emerson wasn't so lucky!
The War exhausted Alexander

Weeks 16-18

Wow, so much has happened in the last 2 weeks I don't even know where to start. Well, how about from the beginning. The babies first Christmas was amazing. We had a blast. They of course where clueless about the whole thing. They just smiled and cooed while we opened gifts and as people arrived on Christmas day they just seemed to enjoy all the attention. They got tons of toys and clothes and it was all very surreal. At one point I walked into the living room and it looked like a toy store had taken over. There was not one square inch of carpet showing.

The couple of weeks leading up to Christmas where spent shopping( that was interesting). I had at least one kid with me at all times. It was usually Max since he is going through a I WANT MY MOMMY phase. I don't mind except when I am alone with the kids he shows serious signs of jealousy when I pick up or feed another baby. He will scream and cry and throw whatever toy he has in his hands on the floor. If this is any sign of what there is to come....I AM SCREWED! Oh well, everyday is a learning experience. All in all it was not bad taking out one baby at a time. Most people think he is a newborn which is rather frustrating. I than explain he is 4 months old and a preemie. Then it usually leads to ...well, he is actually a triplet. People automatically want to touch him. I have had to actually do Kung Foo Mama, where I have to physically block someone from touching the baby. I am always very nice and say"It is cold and flu season, please don't touch the baby.". Most people are very nice when they find out we have triplets. I get a lot of people saying "God Bless you" or "What a Miracle". Every once and a while I get...."Better you than me" or "Poor You" or "You have your hands full". Well, all this is true it is better me than you and poor me that I only have 4 beautiful boys and not more and yes I do have my hands full and I love every minute of it. God knew what he was doing, just remember that. If we couldn't handle it they would not be here. Some of the comments are rude but I have learned to just roll with the punches. They don't get what a true miracle our babies are...all 4 of them!

The boys are growing so quick. Max is 12lbs 15oz, Alex is 12lbs 14 oz and Emerson is 13lbs 7 oz. I know, I know they are growing at light speed. Well, not so light. My back is killing me! They are starting to scoot around on their backs. You know when you lay them on the floor and they push their legs so they drag their heads. Max is the best at it . He can go a good 4 feet before his head starts to hurt. We gotta watch them because they should be rolling over any second! God help us, they will be crawling and than all heck will break loose.

They have started to eat food which explains the rapid weight gain. Cereal mixed with either a vegetable or fruit...yum! They love their veggies but only if they are orange. Sweet potatoes and carrots seem to be their favorite. They do not like anything green. Green beans and peas seem to be their enemies. They gag and spit them out. There is no accounting for taste I guess. They are not huge fans of fruit. They seem to prefer apples and bananas to peaches and prunes. They must be to acidic. Anyway they seem to love most of t.They are already eating twice a day.

Emerson got put on Reflux medication finally. He was having a terrible time with acid reflux. I felt so bad for him, he would have acidic puke coming out of his nose. But with the medication these spells are few and far in between. I did however have to ween him off the breast. I think my breast milk affected him t much. This has been a very depressing time for both him and I. I am still nursing the other two but I am down to only once a day with each. All though I love the time with my babies and the bonding the nutritional value is diminishing. They are almost 5 months old and they will be getting teeth soon. I need to have them completely weened by then. I don't want to be a teething ring. I plan to be totally done by the time they are six months old which will be February 17th.

Week 15

Week 15


Great news, Max is off his APNEA monitor. I told him he is a new improved wireless version of his former self. He has been spell free for a month so he is done! AMEN! I of course will be a nervous wreck when he is sleeping but I think he has grown out of all his issues. Thanks everyone for your prayers!

So the boys have been weighed and measured.....wait for it.....wait for it....Max is 11lbs....Alexander 11lbs 4oz and Emerson my littlest one, my barely 3lb er at birth is now a humongous 11lbs 8oz!!!!!!!! Max who was the biggest is now the smallest. They have officially sucked the life out of me!!!!!!!! They are now all around 22 inches long. Don't blink or you'll miss it! They are growing everyday.

They all started physical therapy this week. Things seem to be going well with that. The boys are starting to hold their heads up and push up on their arms when on their bellies. They are getting so strong. I can't believe they are over three months old already. They will be crawling and walking before you know it.

So let me explain how this blog works, since I am getting some complaints about updates. I know tons of people count on this for information on the triplets and our little family. However, I don't always have time to sit and write, so what I do is write ...when I have an opportunity...usually at 3am...in my notepad on my computer and when I have the chance I post and update the blog. It's getting harder for me to do this though since the babies require more attention than ever. Who would've known that 3 babies and a 4 year old required sooo much attention. So be patient and eventually you will get updates.

Week 14

So Thanksgiving was wonderful. I cooked a meal that I think was a huge success. Everyone seemed to like it. We had around 15 people not including the kids. They where wonderful. They were held by everyone and loved all the attention. It was wonderful to see them with family. They are getting so big. All well over 10lbs. They are now in clothes size 3-6mos. I can't believe it. They grew out of all their newborn and 0-3 month clothes in just 1 month. They are super babies, I personally think it's the breast milk. They all have those huge cheeks. I bite them daily. OK so we hit some big milestones this week. Both Emerson and Max found their voices. Alex found his a while ago. He has been cooing and laughing for almost a month. But anyway, Max was sitting in his bouncy seat watching a Baby Einstein DVD and he laughed out loud scarring himself half to death. Than he began cooing and making gestures at the television. It was amazing to see his reaction to finding his voice. Than within 24 hours Emerson found his. He was sitting in his swing looking up at the mobile and started cooing. He seemed so proud. Now all of a sudden they are carrying on cooing conversations. It's so cute. They grow so fast.

I sit in my chair looking at them and just cry. I can't believe David and I made them. Less than a year ago I had no clue. I was selfishly living my quite existence contemplating going back to work when Austin went to Kindergarten. Man o Man was I about to get the shock of a lifetime. Within 1 month My Grandma died(I miss her so much it hurts), We bought our house and we found out we were pregnant. As this year comes to an end I can't help but reflect on what had to be the best and worst year of my entire life. I believe God brought these healthy happy babies into my life actually our lives as a replacement for all those lost this year. I have to believe that just to get through the day.I need to talk about my Grandmother for a moment. Lately I have missed her more than I did when she first died. I went call her the other day when the boys where cooing at each other. I thought "Grandma would love this. My heart ached when I realized she would never know them and they would never know her. Don't get me wrong, my Grandma was a pain sometime. But, I loved her so much. I can close my eyes and still hear her voice. And every time I look at my hands I see hers. I wish she would have held on to see them. But I know she is out of pain now and somewhere happy and healthy. I like to think she knows the babies exist, that she had a conversation with God and made it happen. I even think she helped create the three of them just as a last joke...like "I'll show her!" I MISS YOU GRANDMA! I wish all those that where lost this year where still here but if you had a choice between here and heaven...what would you choose?

Now for the next holiday. Christmas is coming. I got a good jump on shopping. I got up at 4am and went shopping on black Friday. I know it was crazy but hey I saved some bucks and when you have four kids every $$ counts. I hit Toys R'Us and Target. Thanks TiTi for helping David with the boys. I still have a ton more to do but I think I will do it online. Home delivery ROCKS! On Christmas day we will be having open house from 2pm on. If you wanna come over, we'll be here. We will not be taking the boys out because of RSV and other virus' that are dangerous for them. So, if you wanna see us, we'll be here and as long as your healthy, come on by!

Week 13 1/2

Emerson nursing at home!

Week 13 1/2

Just a little motherly rant!

OK, so I have a pet peeve. I have discovered that in 2007...almost 2008 people have a hard time with mothers breastfeeding in public. YES, I BREASTFEED...TRIPLETS! On occasions...I need to leave the house with a baby. It's not often but I do when I have too. Recently, I took Alex to Children's for a doctors appointment. I brought bottles but if you've been at Children's you know how disgustingly filthy the place is. The thought of heating my babies bottle in the sink in the bathroom made me vomit! So anyway I decided to breastfeed him...since I do not have to heat that! I was in the waiting room and I very discreetly put a blanket over my shoulder placed my child...covered under the blanket and nursed him for 10 or so minutes. In this time period I watched one woman literally freak out, huffing and puffing she dragged her maybe 2 year old away from the disease riddled toys and put him in the hallway, apparently away from the wayward breast under the blanket. Another man looked at me and rolled his eyes in disgust at the woman but than told someone on the phone "I had a lot of nerve". The other three people in the waiting room where either trying to look at the ceiling as not to see a glimpse of a nipple or staring so hard I thought my face would burst into flames. At no time was I exposed in any way. I was always under a blanket not so much as a millimeter of breast showed but yet I apparently offended several people in the waiting room at CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL! After I was done nursing I put everything back in it's place...never exposing anything only to realize, I had a shirt on that was quite revealing in the cleavage area. Guess what, no one seemed to mind. Go Figure! Anyway, I have waited all my adult life to have these babies and have the privilege and the God given ability to nurse my children so to any of you who are offended I say warmly Kiss my ASS!(Sorry for the Language)They are just breasts we all have them, most of us where breastfed by our mothers. And a little boob(or even a big one)never hurt anyone! Next time I think I'll let it all hang out. Why not, say something...I dare you....I have 4 children, I am sleep deprived, usually hungry, exhausted(mentally) and I could snap at any time...NO jury would convict me!

Week 13

Happy Birthday Babies!!!!


Our babies are officially 3 months old. The week was pretty uneventful. We had a family photo shoot which turned out to be pretty interesting. Austin was a wild man. He was practically standing on his head(as I look over at him now...he is standing on his head.) The babies seemed virtually unfazed by the whole thing . They pretty much slept during the whole thing. Emerson screamed during his individual picture, and Max wouldn't take the Binky out of his mouth long enough to take the picture. As soon as we get them back we will post them. I don't think any one smiled or looked interested in any way.

I took Alexander to Children's for a follow up to his surgery. Just as I suspected...everything went fine. No major drama. He healed beautifully. I almost passed out though when they weighed him and said 10lbs on the dot. How fast they grow. Everyday they are starting to look more like kids. The babyness ( not a word by the way) is fleeting fast. They are staying awake more often and interacting with everyone. The smiles are unbelievable. Your heart actually melts when they do it. They are recognizing the world around them more and more, It's amazing that they all do things around the same time. I noticed Max finally recognized the dog. The dog came walking up and sniffed him and he tried to bite her nose. He smiled and let out a huge excited scream. I was shocked and frankly....so was the dog!!! Within a day or two all three of them had interacted with the dog. I was thinking "wow for the first time I saw them as triplets, not three individual baby's.

Well, the holidays are upon us. I am having both Christmas and Thanksgiving...Lord help me!!! I'm sure all will go well. I mean come on who can't shop, cook for 15 people, clean before and after, take care of three babies and the needs of a 4 year old all while entertaining? Maybe me? Not sure, letcha know in a couple of days.

Weeks 9 through 12

Well, we have probably had our scariest week yet. First of all Max has decided to have some apnea spells, two of which required us to wake him up. He turned a dusky color and I had to stimulate him to breathe. We ended up in the Emergency Room at Children's just as a precautionary measure. They sent him home....Thank God, I don't know what I would have done had they kept him. Max has always had spells but never before did I have to stimulate him like that and it scared me. Personally I think it was the pushing ...you see our little Max was trying to poop...and poop he did. Put it this way, Max put a grown man to shame. Because Max was premature, he forgets to breathe when pushing. Than his body forgets to reboot. He needs the stimulation to reboot...almost like a computer. So anyway, Max is fine now. He is home and all is well.

Than life got really scary....while opening Alexanders diaper I noticed a lump in his groin. When I say a lump....I mean this huge mass that looked like nothing I had ever seen before. I quickly realized my little man had a hernia....technically a inguinal hernia. You see when little boys testicles drop they come from their abdomen and drop into the sack through a hole in the top of their groin. Full term little boys have time for that hole to close. Because Alex was premature that hole didn't close and his intestines actually fell through the hole. I took him to the Doctors and they said it would need surgery but was not life threatening. As long as it didn't get worse he would be fine to wait a month or so until he could get a surgery date. Well......it got worse. My poor baby screamed in pain and his bulge grew hard and bigger. I took him to the Emergency Room at Children's and they immediately admitted him and scheduled the surgery for the next day. The good news is my little angel did wonderfully. He came through like a champ. We (Me & Alex) stayed in the hospital for 2 1/2 days. The hardest of my life. To be away from my other sons was awful. But Alex needed his Mommy and I needed to be there for him. He is awesome now. He is having some digestion issues...we recently switched him to Soy Formula...YUK! And he seems to be doing much better. Thanks to my Dad who stayed with me quite a bit in the hospital and helped at home with the boys. Also to my Mom who stayed with David and helped with the other boys. TiTi and everyone else...Thanks so much.

Well, the boys have started their RSV shots. That's the Virus that is deadly to preemies. They get the vaccination once a month. They should be protected against the RSV Virus but I am still not taking them out anywhere and if your sick...stay away. We had a serious outbreak of the Croop. Poor Emerson and Austin. They had it the worst. Austin brings home everything from Preschool. We are trying to maintain their health the best we can so no sniffles or anything. You get my kids sick....I kick You butt!
They are all huge....Emerson is 9lbs 4oz, Alex 9lbs 6oz & Max 9lbs 6oz.....Big Bro Austin is weighing in at a healthy 40lbs on the dot.

Austin is doing amazing. Aside from the croop Austin is starting to be a big help with his brothers. He helps with babas and binkies and he tries to entertain them when their upset. He is a little attention deprived but he'll be fine.

OK so I have a serious pet peeve I need to discuss with everyone. First of all I think some people need to go back to school and take a biology or health class. I may even need to give some people a lesson on the birds and the bees. Creation is a beautiful thing. God gave woman the most beautiful gift. The gift of being able to create and carry another life. This happens when a man and woman have intercourse. OK...I realize you all know HOW life is created! So anyway, a woman produces an egg or in my case eggs and every egg is fertilized with a sperm. In our case....three eggs three sperm. MY CHILDREN ARE FRATERNAL TRIPLETS! If they where identical it would have been one egg, one sperm that split three ways creating three identical human beings. My children where three eggs three sperm meaning three completely different human beings. If one more person asks me if I can tell my own children apart I may rip their face off. My children are not identical. They are all boys...this is true but think about it do you and your siblings look identical? Can people tell you all apart? It is just like I had three separate pregnancies all at once. My boys are very handsome they all have different personalities, different shaped heads, different eye and hair color. They are not identical....do not ask me how I can tell my own children apart...come on think about it...isn't that the stupidest question ever! I'm not trying to offend anyone I just want people to understand I get asked the same stupid questions by everyone I see. Arrrggghhhh!

After I have probably just offended most all of you...I am in need of help. I am looking for people to help out with the boys. If you are in good health and want to come over and hug and love a baby give me a call. You all have our number!
