General Update

Again, the frequent updates are difficult to do, but honestly, the last week has relatively little to report. Overall, we're all doing well. The boys are all gaining weight which is fantastic. We've had a few appointments at the pediatrician to get the boys checked out. Their weights look like this:

Jack
Birth (1/27): 4 - 9
Hospital Discharge (1/31) 4 - 2
1st Appt (2/1) 4 - 4
2nd Appt (2/4) 4 - 5
3rd Appt (2/9) 4 - 10

Graham
Birth (1/27): 4 - 7
Hospital Discharge (1/31) 4 - 0
1st Appt (2/1) 4 - 3
2nd Appt (2/4) 4 - 3
3rd Appt (2/9) 4 - 8

Anthony
Birth (1/27): 4- 0
Hospital Discharge (1/31) 4 - 3
1st Appt (2/1) 4 - 4
2nd Appt (2/4) 4 - 6
3rd Appt (2/9) 4 - 10

Next weight check will be Monday, 2/21.

We're settling into a daily pattern. Of course, that pattern is getting ready to change for several reasons. First, my Mom (Nana) has literally just pulled out of the driveway headed back to Winston-Salem. As I've said several times, having her around has been a huge help. So, we're down to three adults now...Melissa's Mom (Grandma) is still staying with us. The other change is my work schedule will pick up a little more this week. I've been into the office several half days last week, and done a lot of work from home, but this coming week I'll be going into the office every day this week. I still might work some half days, and then work from home the rest of the day, but it will still be a change. So, we'll see how this week goes. A few other highlights from the week:
-- Uncle Marc and Aunt Sabrina came into town last night and are still here...will be leaving after while. They took care of the midnight feeding last night, so Melissa and I both went to bed around 10:00 and didn't get up until almost 3:30 am (for the 4 am feeding). Jack had just started to fuss, and Melissa needed to pump, but we both felt pretty refreshed...especially Melissa as I think 5 1/2 hours is the most sleep she's had since the triplets were born (and probably even a few months before they were born due to the frequent pee trips in the middle of the night). We got back to sleep around 5:00 am and slept until about 7:30, so last night was great sleep for Mom & Dad!!




--Chase took a header on the stairs to the slide at school on Monday and has a decent shiner now. He had a huge goose-egg above his right eye for about 24 hours and then as it went down, the surrounding areas turned different shades of yellow, blue, green, and black. Good times!






-- Popi & Meme came to visit last weekend for a few hours.


-- Captain & Rokky have really been helping out a lot too!




--Chase has also been helping a lot.






-- Matt & Jennifer have come by a couple of times, so we got a great picture of the 6 grand-kids. Meredith is certainly going to rule the roost with all these boys! :)


On Saturday (yesterday), Chase went to the Ringling Bros circus with Grandma, Mom-Mom, Pop-Pop, Matt, Jennifer, Bise and Meredith. We don't have any pictures yet, but he was sooooo excited about the entire event. It was a big hit...thank you to Grandma and the rest of the gang for taking Chase on this special trip!!

That's all for now. More later this week!
