Weeks 41-43



Like usual our life is crazy. It's a plethora of kids, appointments, crying fits, temper tantrums, baby fights, biting, teething, dirty diapers and 5 year old attitude. All in a days work, right? Well I had resounded that this would be my life for the next 18 years! Craziness and ciaos is what I thrive on. All 4 of these boys would give me a run for my money and I would be fine, after all this is what I do! Nothing could stop me or slow me down, after all I am ..."The Triplet Mom". Or at least that's what I thought. A couple of weeks ago(Memorial Day) was mine and Davids 8 year wedding anniversary! To all you nay Sayer's who said it wouldn't last, HA! We where just to spend a quiet weekend at home with our kids or at least the triplets since Austin was at my moms for the weekend. When we decided to put up the new swing set and invite family over for a BBQ and an impromptu birthday party for my 14 year old God Son Thomas. I had been feeling tired and run down but had assumed like most days it was due to taking care of the kids and lack of sleep. When I went up stairs to take a shower, I became dizzy and nauseated. Than all of a sudden it hit me like a ton of bricks, "no, it can't be!". I went to the linen closet where I found a left over pregnancy test. I quickly went into the bathroom and followed the directions. It said, wait 5 minutes for results. Much to my surprise within 30 seconds a "plus" sign appeared! "No, way. How old is this test?" I went downstairs and handed David the test. I said "Happy Anniversary, we're Pregnant, AGAIN!"...maybe! Go get more tests, the one that says "pregnant" or "Not Pregnant". After 15 minutes or so David returned from the pharmacy. I followed the directions and than....BAM! PREGNANT! SO there you go folks. We are now expecting baby#5. I am in complete and utter shock. I mean, come on! We adopt, get one child! Fertility drugs, 3 children! And one time, I was apparently to tired to remember (sorry for being graphic) and "TADA" Baby #5. I have gone to my first OB appointment and all looks great. I am 10 weeks pregnant and am do January 15th. David and I went for our first ultrasound went great, ONLY 1 BABY! WHOO HOO! And it's heartbeat is strong. No abnormalities, everything looks great. I on the other hand am dizzy, nauseated and have absolutely no energy. This will probably be the hardest 8 months of my life, but I welcome the challenge. I wasn't really looking to get pregnant this early, but I am a fir, believer in God will only give me what I can handle.

The boys are doing so amazingly. They are growing so fast. All their teeth seem to come in all at once, now we have these beautiful babies who smile with all these teeth in their mouth. Max is taking more and more steps everyday. It's so odd to see this little teeny guy trying so hard to walk. Alex is all over the place. He will no longer lay down. He is walking fluidly along the furniture, he has yet to take steps but any day now! Emerson finally started crawling! He just got up on his knees and took off, now he is pulling up on everything and it's just a matter of time before he too is walking! Austin is out of school. He will be starting school in the fall and frankly I can't wait until he is occupied for 7 hours a day. He is at that age where he just wants every second of my attention. We are fighting like crazy because of it. He just doesn't want to spend "alone time" or "play time" of any sort. Now that the Nanny has started I have been taking him out once or twice a week and that seems to help but is only a temporary fix. I am hoping to find some programs for him this summer but he is getting glasses and it will take some time for him to get used to them before school. He has terrible eyesight in one eye from astigmatism and because of this we had to keep him from sports and other activities until he was old enough for glasses. This has been terrible because he wants to play so bad. But, I was so afraid he would get hurt, I waited. Now, he will be getting glasses this week so let the good times roll. We are also installing a pool sometime this month so hopefully he will be occupied for the rest of the summer.

Again, I have been having a terrible time with this blogspot. I seem to get errors a lot and am unable to download the blog or pictures so please be patient while
I figure this out.

Our Beautiful Graduate!

Weeks 39 & 40

We have been extremely busy the last couple of weeks. The boys seem to be running me ragged. We where having some problems with my computer as well so posting this blog became increasingly difficult. So I apologise for the wait. It seems I completely filled one of the two of my hard drives that I have in my computer. It could possibly be the 10,000 pictures I have taken of my four sons in the last year. What's a mother to do. I love taking pictures, all though I have slowed down in the last couple of weeks while fixing this hard drive situation.

Well, we've hired a Nanny. She is wonderful. She came very highly recommended by several people. She has a ton of experience and the boys seem to love her. We are starting out with her here 10 hours a week. It's a nice break for me to go shopping, spend time with Austin and pretty much just do those few things around the house I have been unable to do.

Austin is Graduating from Pre-School soon and I am beginning to panic. He will be home ALL SUMMER LONG. I'm sure it will be fine since the swing set is now up! The slide is yet to be installed (we need to dig holes and pore concrete), it will be soon and we are waiting for our landscaper to come a level the ground and order the recycled tires we are going to use. This hasn't deterred Austin from playing on the swings, climbing the rock wall and making himself at home in the clubhouse. All in all this summer should be interesting. Lots of fun times and surprises to come.

We are preparing for the boys first birthday. That's right...1 year in just about two months. I am trying to get everything ordered and invitations printed up in plenty of time for people who plan every minute of their summer. Quite frankly it will take me the next two months to plan it because I have little or no time to sit down and do it!

On a personal note I would like to say Congratulations to my sister Adrianne. She graduated from College this past week with her BSN. She is an RN, well waiting to pass her licencing but an RN none the less. She also got a full time job as an RN working at ECMC! I am so proud of her! Congrats AD!

Week 38

Austin and his class showing the Moms some love
A Mothers day discussion!

Mother's Day/Week 38

It's been an eventful week. Mother's Day wasn't exactly what I had hoped for but in the end turned out to be a nice day. We had breakfast, took a nap than got ready and went to Dinner at Samuel's with the kids and my in-laws. The babies where wonderful. They all where awake for the most part. They sampled different foods and drank water from real glasses. They took turns sitting in the high chair and being held. They seemed happy to be out and socializing. The good thing about going out on a holiday is that most people where involved in their own families and not concerned about my kids. We did get a few nice comments though. All in all it turned out to be a good experience. While sitting at dinner, Max began to gag on a cracker so I reached my finger into his mouth and much to my surprise felt a tooth! I got the cracker out(he's fine)and felt again. Happy Mother's Day, our first tooth! I was so excited, I almost wanted to give him some meat and watch him chew! OK, ok I know, he's not ready for meat. But it was very exciting. Than this rush of fear came over me "Oh crap, now what! Let the biting begin!". By the next morning I reached in to feel he tooth again and OH MY, there's another one! Two teeth in two days! Man this kid just won't take the time to grow up slowly! He's trying to reach all his milestones at once! He's definitely David's baby...ADVANCED at Everything! He is starting to dance when he hears music...this is so funny to watch. He shakes his butt back and forth with the biggest smile. He's always looking behind him to see if your watching!

Emerson is rolling all over the place. He's not really crawling, just rolling where he needs to go. This is fine wit me since he is containable. He is really starting to play now. He will roll over to the larger toys that make noise and music and play away. He loves music. He sings which cracks me up! Whenever he hears music he starts this almost humming, maybe even a little moaning. I think in his head, he's verbalizing but it doesn't come out of his mouth yet. He loves American Idol and sings along with the contestants competing. Too Funny! He's turning into such a beautiful child too! He has the biggest greenish brown eyes with long eye lashes an definitely looks like the Gerber Baby!

Alexander is cruising right along. He mostly crawls backwards but can get where he wants. he is still so verbal and everyday there are new words. Not to be outdone by anyone, his first tooth(a top, front one) popped through on Wednesday. He has been so fussy and just wants mama all the time. He is really loving the outdoors. We have been going out almost everyday and he loves his little tykes slide. He goes down backwards and laughs. He's such a social baby. Whenever we are out he is the one making cutie eyes at all the girls. Man I am in for a rude awakening when they're teenagers. God help me!

Austin and I had a great day last Friday. It was Mother's Day at school. He made me a beautiful card and a plant. We had tea and an ice cream sundae. the class sang wonderfully and I was so proud, even though my son is obviously the class clown! I took lots of pictures. They grow up so fast. Austin was just a baby toddling around and now he's such a big kid. Building Lego contraptions and articulating like a grown up. Where did the time go.

So, I am starting to make plans for the 1st Birthday Extravaganza. WOW! it's going to turn into something close to a wedding! These preparations are endless. I know it will be worth it. They won't remember, but I will! I aways go overboard but tough! It's been an amazing year and it's almost time to CELEBRATE!

Mother's Day

The loves of my life!

Well, it's Mother's Day! It has me reflecting on what it means to be a "mother". This is the best and worst job I've ever had. I get to watch my children grow and thrive. I get to see all their firsts! But I get to see and feel their pain and watch from the sidelines as mistakes are made and consequences are given. I love my children I would never go back to the days when they where not here. People many times say how they would love to go back and relive their youth! Not me, my youth was not one worth reliving. Don't get me wrong there where good times, but there where bad times. If my youth wasn't what it was, I wouldn't be the woman and the mother I am today. Strong woman sometimes intimidate those around them. This isn't necessarily intentional. I know the fact that I am strong as a mother and a woman intimidates a lot of people. I just feel strongly and passionately when it comes to life, love, motherhood and most everything else in my life. My children especially. They are the reason I was put on this earth. I will feel all the love, excitement, pain and sorrow that they feel. I found this short poem that seems to some up how I feel for those Moms out there...



A Strong Woman



A Strong woman is one who feels deeply

and loves fiercely.

Her tears flow just as abundantly as her laughter.

A strong woman is both soft and powerful.

She is both practical and spiritual.

A strong woman in her essence is a gift to the world!

----Unknown----



To all the strong woman who show what it takes to be one, I say...

Happy Mother's Day!



Later in the week, I will post this weeks regular blog. I just wanted to tell all the Mother's out there how amazing they are! Happy Mother's Day and God Bless!

Week 37

This is just a taste of the pictures taken.

I don't want to give away too many yet because of Mothers Day!

Week 37

This week was great. My boys are all happy and healthy. No major problems or dramas, just what every Mom loves. Just a week of happy babies.

David had a business trip so it was just me and the boys. The kids all went to get their picture taken on Saturday and that wasn't the ordeal I thought it would be. They where all so happy to be out of the house. Although we did have some tears and anxiety when the strange photographer woman was trying to position them. They are so used to me taking pictures that they did surprisingly well. I did a NEMO theme since they all love the movie so much. I brought their own Nemo stuffed animals and that's how we positioned them. It worked out really well for them to have something familiar in a setting that was very foreign to them. The pictures turned out great and I bought the CD so I can make as many as I want. This works out perfectly just in time for mothers day.

Maxim went and got his first pair of walking shoes while at the mall. He slept during the whole thing The shoes are so cute. All brown soft leather with little feet on the bottom. I only bought them for him since the other two babies aren't yet showing signs of walking. Alexander is crawling all over and trying desperately to get to the toys that Max is standing at. Max is pulling himself up and walking very fluently from one piece of furniture to another. I give him less than a month before he walks. Emerson is getting around great now. He is crawling enough to grab toys he wants and to occasionally grab a brother who is not paying attention to him. They are all doing so amazingly well! I have had lots of people ask me if they are delayed because of prematurity and guess what...they aren't not at all. Emerson and Alex are completely age appropriate with their milestones and Max is advanced for 8 months. It's a beautiful thing how God works! We have been blessed and we know that. We couldn't ask for more!

Everyday Austin is getting closer and closer to Kindergarten. We got his report card from Pre-K and he is doing well all the way around. Aside from some behavioral things like his listening skills(which all 5 year old have issues with)there are no concerns and he is good to go! He went for his school physical on Monday and passed with flying colors. He has some issues with his one eye, which he has had since birth but he sees a specialist in July and will probably get glasses or need minor surgery. That should resolve most of his issues. He got 3 shots and handled them like a trooper, not even a flinch. He said "wasn't I brave Mommy?". He sure was. I was very proud. Although it is time for him to go to big boy school all day I can't help but reflect on what an incredible child he is. He was the sweetest baby and has turned into such an amazing young boy. I know he will do well in school but I just wish he could of stayed my sweet little baby for a while longer. I miss that. It's his time to be a little more independent and I will just have to deal with my little boy growing up.

Week 36

Emerson is what I like to refer to as "the strong silent type" However, on Friday my baby broke his silence. As many of you know none of my kids take a pacifier. None of them have a specific toy they carry around. They don't suck their thumbs or have a "blankie". They seem to be content to just BE. They are happy babies, playing with their toys and beginning to interact with one another. At least that's what I thought. About a month ago or more now, I let the boys watch Disney movies. We tried Cars, nope...didn't like it. Toy Story, not their cup of tea. The little Mermaid, too girly. Finally, Finding Nemo! Success! Emerson in particularly LOVED Nemo. He pretty much insists on watching it two to three times a day. I know, you are all scratching your heads trying to figure out how an 8 month old can insist on watching a movie. Well, my normally angelic child who doesn't complain or make much fuss over anything will scream and cry, throw toys and "nnnnnnnnnnnn" me until I turn it on. I've decided he probably likes the animation more than the message of Nemo. That's what I'm hoping since like most all of Disney movies, the mother dies in the first 2 minutes of the movie! Depressing! The colors are amazing and the movement they have created through their animation is remarkable. So assuming Emerson is liking it for those reasons I give in and let him watch...It's become a security blanket for him. When ever we go to someones house, I bring Nemo and it seems to calm him instantly. So it was no surprise to me when my little boy so lovingly looked at me, and instead of MAMA or DADA, out of his mouth comes....."BRUCE"! If you all remember Bruce is the shark that tries to eat Nemo's Dad! Thanks Nemo for keeping my child occupied and for stealing my thunder! I wonder will Emerson's second word be "Dory"? Only time will tell!

Maxim is such an amazing little guy. He started pulling himself up on all the furniture a couple of weeks ago. Now he proficiently pulls himself to the "stand" position on all his large toys and plays. Just like a real kid. This it self would be an amazing task. But, yesterday (Monday) Maxim Charles...my sick baby...or at least he was my sick baby...took two STEPS! He had pulled himself up on his Fisher Price Kitchen looked at me, let go and then...two big boy steps. He than fell flat on his face. I was in shock! I didn't know if I should clap, cry or pick him up. I of course picked him up since he was crying. I than clapped because I was so proud than I cried! Oh my goodness. He is only 8 1/2 months old and technically should be 6 1/2 months old. He shouldn't be walking yet. What am I going to do? Now all my kids are mobile since Alex is now finally crawling forward and crawling up on pillows and toys so it's a matter of time before he pulls himself up on the furniture. Emerson finally is starting to crawl. Hey better late than never. And Austin is a wild child. This summer should be amazing. Austin will be home with us all summer, Max and Alex should be walking and Emerson will be a crazy crawler. All I can say is Pray for Us! We're in for a CRAZY SUMMER!

On Sunday it was Davids birthday. We actually left the house! I had my mother and sister babysit all 4 boys. We had a lovely time going to dinner, coffee and shopping. When we came home all 4 boys where fed and ready for bed. It was nice. It was very relaxing, almost too relaxing! All I wanted to do was sleep. My mother and sister sprouted some new grey hairs but they did a great job. Thanks guys!

Week 35

Max discovers the Coffee Table!
YES, he did it all by himself!

Max....Happy Baby
Daddy & Emerson...waving
Alex, up to no good as usual!

Week 35
8 Months and Counting!

This week has been extremely HOT! We got up to around 85 degrees. Which for our area is common since we no longer have Spring and go right from Winter to Summer. The boys seem to enjoy all the traveling that we can now do. They are loving our long walks and trips to the stores but the heat gets to them fast. Max instantly got a heat rash when the temperature spiked and all the babies where red and flushed. We are spending a lot more time outside and we are getting more visitors. This mommy is also making more time for her self and is trying to venture out with friends every so often. I kept myself pretty cloistered this winter to take care of the boys and to bond. So now...I'm breaking free! I noticed they have problems with strangers. This can be a good thing but can also be bad since i would like to start leaving them bit by bit with sitters in order to spend more time with David. We'll see, it's like a test for my little angels.

Max and Alex have started crawling so we've begun baby proofing and putting up gates. It's pretty much like an obstacle course here. Hop over a crawling baby, trip over an Elmo toy, stub your toe on a walker and try to walk over a gate without falling down the stairs....wheeeee! Emerson is not crawling yet but is flipping himself over and spending time on his belly. It's so hard for him because of the acid reflux. We're hoping he grows out of it soon so he can join his brothers in exploring the house. We had to lower Max's crib finally since he has begun to pull himself up. I walked in his room the other morning to a standing Max, reaching over the side..."hiya mmmmm(mom)". He was so proud of himself. Than all of a sudden...flop! On his way down, he caught his chin on the bar and cried. My poor baby, but now is the time where bumps and bruises come into play. They are growing so fast! Before we know it they'll be walking and than I'll want a new baby!....Just kidding...I could almost here all of you gasp!

Austin has 2 months left of school. Than one loooooong summer and kindergarten. He is playing outside a lot more which tires him out quickly. Thank God! This kid is an unbelievable ball of energy. Everyday he is getting smarter and more rebellious. I know this is just him testing us because he is used to being the center of attention. He is really helping out with his brothers now. He likes that they can react to him. They laugh and coo at him, he's just so funny to them. When he's home he sometimes keeps an eye on them so I can make lunch or do the laundry. He really is a great big bro!

Random Blog

It's been a long time since I just posted a random blog for no particular reason. So I thought, what the heck. We had an amazing Spring day today (even though I have the worst cold). We where going to go to the Zoo but than I woke up feeling terrible. I couldn't bare the thought of fighting off all the obnoxious on-lookers and answering all the stupid question. So, I cancelled the trip and decided to stay home and rest with my children who have all been a little under the weather. The day started out as usual, babas, breakfast than baths and a nap. I tried my best to clean up but for once I didn't feel like doing the thorough job I usually do. After the boys naps I went outside to take the garbage out and couldn't believe how nice it was. I gathered the boys, set up the pack n play and we headed outside. Daddy brought us ice cream...to make us feel better. We lasted about an hour or so before returning inside for lunch and our afternoon 20 minute snooze. My boys all looked so cute, happy and refreshed so I felt compelled to take pictures. Hope you enjoy them...and these beautiful Spring Days!

Week 34

What a beautiful week in Western New York! We have had some incredible weather. Looks like Spring may finally be here, yeah but than in true Buffalo form, IT SNOWED! We have been doing some outings with the kids. On Tuesday I even took all 4 kids to Target and Babies R'US, alone! I was very lucky, the boys where in great spirits and did minimal fussing! Austin was a huge help and gave the boys their bottles and toys. The kid is almost too efficient, he gave them toys that I discovered at the checkout and had to pay for them. Oh well, it kept them busy! He's good at that. He does the same thing at home. I can always count on him to play with the boys while I'm making dinner or cleaning up. What a great big brother he is.

On Thursday we restarted are dinners at Linda's(Grandma Linda to my kids). That works out great since there are several other adults and I can actually eat. It was a little rough in the beginning, the boys weren't used to all the ciaos and noise but after a while they calmed down, watched Nemo and played with their toys. Uncle Michael, Aunt Kelly, Grandma Linda, Uncle Frankie & Sissy kept them all occupied. Playing on the floor and carrying them around. I'm sure after a few weeks they will be as comfortable there as here. It's wonderful to have the nice weather and to have a routine where we go certain places on certain days. I'm hoping the boys will pick up on their social skills since they have been sheltered for the last eight months.

We had some instances this week with what I like to call "The Stupid Triplet Questions". I was asked at the grocery store"what day care center are you from?" assuming the kids where on a walk from daycare. I got quite bitchy at the stupidity of that woman. I swore (I really am a good christian woman, but some people just test me!)at a woman at Babies r'us when she made the constant stupid comment..."oh, you have your hands full!" It wouldn't be so bad if people didn't say it in such a condescending manner as if in some way shape or form that my kids are some sort of burden. Quite the opposite my children are a gift from God. They are the biggest and best blessing I have ever received. Austin is the smartest, sweetest most amazing kid, and my babies are happy, healthy, growing and thriving! What more could a mother ask for. A burden they are not. I have never considered myself burdened. Who wouldn't want these amazingly beautiful sons that I have? When we are old and grey(OK, I'm already grey) we will have lots of sons, daughter-in-laws and grandchildren surrounding us. It's the ultimate blessing. The thought of it brings tears to my eyes. When someone makes a comment about having my hands full, they're right, I have my hands full of the most amazing children in the world and that is the most incredible gift I could have ever asked for.

Now that I have gone on yet another rant...the kids are a little under the weather. They must have a little bit of a cold. On top of that they are teething so bad, if these teeth don't break through, I'm going to go in there and pull them through myself. Austin is off from school this week and I'm hoping to take all 4 of my sons out on some day trips to the park, the Zoo and shopping. Hopefully, they will all feel up to it. And yes I will be doing it alone! Even though they are hand fulls, they are my hand fulls and I welcome the challenge! However, if I end up "smacking" some condescending idiot for stupid comments, I hope my loving family and friends would understand enough to bail me out of jail! HAPPY SPRING ALL!

Week 33

Well, it seems Spring has sprung in Western New York. Today was a beautiful day. The temperature got up to around 65 degrees. We were so excited we decided to go to the zoo. Of course we where our normal selves and created a stir at almost every turn. Sometime it almost seems that we are the attraction and not the animals. At one point I was walking all 4 of my sons, two in the triple stroller, one in the Baby Bjorn(front sack) and Austin by my side. We where walking to see the baby Rhino. There where so many people gathering around us and pointing that I actually had to say..."the baby rhino seems way more interesting than my children"! I know I shouldn't get so pissed off but I kick into "mommy mode" and I will do anything to protect my children from the stares, points and stupid comments. I just hate the fact that people look at my children as some kind of freak show and not someones babies. I mean would they want people stopping and staring and trying to touch their children? Anyway, all the kids enjoyed the Zoo. Max was bright eyed through the whole thing. I think he likes to people watch. He would look at all the animals and smile and coo. I'm not sure exactly what he was thinking but he looked as if he liked all the new sights and sounds. Emerson and Alex seemed unfazed and Austin was so excited. He had a fun just showing us all around. I plan on spending tons of time at the Zoo since we live so close and we got our family pass so we are good to go!
We are really taking the kids out a lot now. This weekend alone we went to the Galleria Mall, for a long walk around the neighborhood, grocery shopping and to the Zoo. They seem to be getting used to their car seats now and are in better spirits when going into environments that are foreign.
We took the boys to two separate Dr's appointments this week. First we went to the Robert Warner Center at Children's Hospital. This was to evaluate them for delays. It's basically protocol because they where premature. The Dr. evaluated all three boys and was happy to report that all where age appropriate. I know age appropriate behavior is irrelevant because all children progress at different rates and age appropriate milestones really depend on the child themselves. But all the boys where evaluated according to the 5 1/2 month age group which is what age they should be but tested at 7 1/2 months which is what they are! This is wonderful. It means they are showing absolutely no delays from being premature. They also had their 6 month visit to their pediatrician...better late than never since we where all sick and had to postpone their original visit. The boys again are doing amazing and all their evaluations are amazingly showing that they are age appropriate. They are even starting to catch up in height and weight. Max is 15lbs 6oz, Emerson 15lbs 12oz and Alexander 16lbs 1oz. They are all on the curve as well for their height and head circumference! Phewwwww! I look at my babies and see 3 wonderful happy, healthy boys but it is so reassuring to have professionals tell you that they are normal and progressing.
Now that the boys are almost 8 months old we have been trying new foods. They love all the Gerber 2nd stage foods but now we are trying more finger foods. They have started eating bread, biter cookies and puffed cookies. But now, by suggestion of their Physical Therapist....Cheese Doodles. I know I am not the kind of mother that gives her kids that awful artificial color, taste and preservative stuff but these where amazing the boys loved them. I never saw them react like that. Just like any kid with "junk" food they ate them faster than I could put them on their trays. They are supposedly very good for teething. They dissolve but are hard enough to allow them to grate them along their gums. Anything that gives the boys relief from this awful teething pain is good enough for me! Chomp on babies!
On a personal note I would like to say Thank You to everyone who called, wrote and sent cards for my big birthday. It means so much to me to have such wonderful friends and family! Thanks All!
