Lesson #1: Babies don't like it when you change their routine all at one time.
Lesson #2: Many times in motherhood, you have to back up and start again.
Lesson #3: Just when you think you have things figured out, something changes!
If you read my last blog, you know we were trying to adjust the babies' schedule some. Really just move to more food, less bottles, and nap time altogether. Well, I'm happy to say that it's all good now. But, I learned a hard Lesson #1! It's just my mentality...it's time to change some things, so you change. Apparently it's not that easy for babies. So, we slowed down, changed a few things, and all is good now. :) Live and learn!
Today it was so beautiful outside! I laid a quilt out under a tree, and took all three babies outside for about an hour. They loved it! I let them stand in the grass and touch it with their hands. They laid on the quilt and looked at the tree, the birds, and we even heard an occasional airplane. It makes me excited for spring!
In the past few days, I've had 3 different people ask me if having triplets was hard. Hmm....we just don't know any different. As I have said before, our babies are very laid back, patient, and content. We have very little fussing or crying. But, the shear mass of them is challenging. I think about how easy it must be with one baby. You feed one baby cereal, fruit, and a bottle...change one diaper...put on one pair of pajamas....and rock one baby to sleep. Our evenings aren't quite like that...it takes John and I both to get it all done! But, I have to say, I would much rather do it all at one time. I think it would be much more difficult to have one baby, get them sleeping through the night and being independent, and then get pregnant and have to start all over again!
I don't know if many people are still reading the blog. If you are, I hope you are enjoying watching the babies grow. We are SO blessed...Thank you God!! (Avery....Aaron...Adam)
