Well, my pictures downloaded out of order but as you can see in the last picture, Carly came home on Friday night! So now we have all three at home! It has been so exciting (no more traveling to the NICU/hospital every day, hooray!) to have all the girls at home and moving on into the next stage of our lives!
But it has been completely nuts. I don't know how many times I've tried to sit down to post a blog and gotten sidetracked by one or more babies crying. We have developed a shift change through the night and that has helped so that we can all (me, Kyle and my mom) get some uninterrupted sleep. I haven't become skilled enough yet at feeding more than one baby at a time (there are still hard to feed in multiples at this age) but I am determined to figure it out. Kyle has had the week off so me and my mom have not been alone enough to have to feed two at once out of necessity. But I'm sure the day is coming since Kyle eventually has to go back to work. Somebody has to make the money since we are currently going through a can of formula a day. I hope that I can even feed three at one time--- but one day at a time for now.
Madison is definitely the noisiest baby. She has quite the set of lungs. I am pretty sure Carly has lungs too since she is so big but I don't know if she has learned how to REALLY let loose and cry and we're hoping she doesn't discover that for awhile. Carly is pretty laid back and just loves to sleep unless her reflux is really getting to her. And Mckenna is so sweet and quiet although I notice she has gained some louder habits from Madison in the past week.
We love our little girls and are trying to enjoy this time even though I sometimes can't remember my name due to sleep deprivation. The best part of being home is I can take pictures whenever I want of them, so here are some of the pictures that we have taken in the past few days. Triplets do make awful cute pictures! I recommend them!

Carly coming home!
Yay! So glad they are home. And wow, I can't believe they were due today! So crazy. They look so adorable all together! I hope your shifts go well. I wish I were closer to help!
ReplyDeleteWe are so excited for you to have your babies home! Don't worry soon enough you will be feeding all the babies at once. You will be amazed at what you can do! It does take practice but in no time you will have things down pat! As for the lack of sleep I am so sorry! I feel for you, your husband and your mom! Hang in there. You have a beautiful family.

Madison totally cracks me up in her pictures. I just love how she stares at her sisters. Its pretty dang cute!! I need to come see that suite of your mom's. I'll wait a little while longer for some kind of adjustment for you guys. I have coupons for you too!!
ReplyDeleteHOORAY!!!!! I can't believe you have all 3 girls home! CONGRATS to you guys! I'm so happy for you. The girls look so darn cute!!! It sounds like you guys are all holding up :) I can't imagine feeding time and keeping track of who has been fed and when they ate and sleeping....I get overwhelmed for you just thinking about it! You guys are going to be the BEST multi-taskers EVER!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a crazy few months for you all!! We are so glad that the girls are all home and doing so amazingly. You are so blessed to have such healthy beautiful babies after all you went through to get them to where they are now. I have to admit, after visiting the Morrell house at feeding time, you make it look pretty easy. You are really taking to motherhood like a breeze, the girls are so lucky to have you.
ReplyDeleteI'm EXHAUSTED just thinking about it. GOOD LUCK in the next few weeks, and months ahead. They are BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! :)
