Intro.


Kris and Dave met 19 years ago while Kris was in college and Dave was on his first of several enlistments in the Navy. We have 4 beautiful kids. Lucas is 16 and he is the best big brother ever! He loves his brothers and sister. He has been waiting a very long time to be the "big brother".

William, Logan and Jessica were born Oct.25 2007 at 33 weeks and 5 days! They only spent 10 days in the NICU and came home on their big brother's birthday- Nov. 5 !! This blog will be about the ins and outs of our crazy life.

Wednesday Updates

A few quick updates.

Logan's diaper issue is getting better. The cream is making a big difference. I bought some soy milk and that is what I gave him all day yesterday. I talked with the pediatrician and he suggested to give him 50/50 milk and soy milk for a few days and then 75/25 milk-soy milk to work gradually to full milk in about a week. If I see that he still is having major issues by Fri I am to make an appointment to discuss options. Let's all hope his system just needs a more gradual shift and that everything turn out fine. Last night the 50/50 did not go over well. He actually spit up a bunch about 30 minutes after he ate. I hope today is better.

I forgot to mention that we took the trio for their flu shots last Thursday. They did great and hardly cried. Dave and I have had our shots and Lucas gets his Monday. That way all our bases are covered! They did not qualify for the RSV shots because they are so healthy so at least the flu shot will give them a little protection.

Yesterday was our first baby sign class. There are only 4 kids in class, so we make up 75%! They did great and I learned 15 signs. The class is about 45 minutes, with signing and singing and playtime. The class is 5 weeks and 15 signs each week. I am excited for them to start using signs other than the sign for "more".

The Great Nap Experiment Take 2 appears to be successful! We have been down to 1 nap for a little over a week and half and it is going great. Jess does the best, with the boys some days taking a little 15 min cat nap. That usually only happens when we are home alone. It is tough to keep 3 toddlers awake and happy by myself when they want to sleep! LOL But even those cat naps have been later and later and for the last 3 days - no one power napped. They are now taking a great 2 1/2 - 3 hour afternoon nap! It used to take 30-40 minutes for them to fall asleep- now it takes maybe 5!

I recently got a few calls from Vani, our German exchange student last year. I have missed her lots and just hearing her voice makes my day! She is having an operation on her knee Friday. She has been in lots of pain, but is handling it well. Please pray that everything goes well and she has a quick recovery. The best part of the conversations - she will be coming to visit us in April!! We are super excited and can't wait for Lucas and the trio to hang with their big sister!

In totally unrelated tidbits of fun info - I got this off another triplet mom's site - Helen @ Three Times the Giggles -(Helen you rock!) you can check your blog's reading level. Mine is -

How cool is that! I guess college was worth the money! LOL Have a great day!

Oooh! Post Grad! Wow! Mine was only Undergrad! I've checked a few other blogs I read and found one as low as Elementary, so I'd say we're doing pretty well :) Thanks for the shout out!

I'm so glad Logan's doing better. I'll have to check out my skills and I'll let you know. haha
