Quads Being Raised As Triplets

Well here are the pumpkins taking baths.

Samantha - she really does not like bath time. :)


Bridgette is just going with the flow.

Teddy actually likes bath time. Yes that is his belly button. It is herniated and getting smaller!! :)3 clean snugly babies sound asleep.


Too Cute!!

The kids came home on whats called reflux status. Samantha is actually on some stronger reflux medications now, she takes Prevacid, it tastes icky and they can not add flavor to it. So far I have been able to get her to take when she is hungry before a feed, I give her a little stick the pacifier in and then continue until she gets her dose.

Here are photos of the kids in their Danny Slings. The crib mattress is angled at 30 degrees and the Danny Sling holds them in place so they do not slide to the bottom of the crib.

The sheets in the cribs I made the night before they came home. I made 6, the crib mattresses are the size of a portable crib mattress but as thick as a regular crib mattress and I could not find sheets to fit them. I made 6 in about 2 hours. They are not perfect but work. I will have to make more in the near future.

What do we do when we have no volunteers to keep the babies on schedule here are a couple of examples.

The 5AM Feed



The keen observer may notice the pink bib on Teddy, yes it does say "Little Princess". Teddy says "Real Men Wear Pink." :)


The Daddy Feed

Alexis wanted to be in the pictures, she does not really suck her thumb she was being silly. :)

I feel like the whole feeding and changing is a never ending process with 3 babies and of course a toddler (in diapers) and a 5 year old who needs to be fed. So I thought it would be fun to share some photos of how many diapers and formula we go through, and here they are.

Okay so here are the diapers we go through in a day, sometimes 30 for the babies and 7 for the toddler, so up 37 diapers a day wow!!!



Here are the bottles we go through in a day!!!


And the approximate amount of formula in a week!!!


The reason for it all!!



So Well worth it all!!!! :)

I thought I would share some pictures of the nursery.



Here is Teddy's crib.

We just did a complete circle around the room. All of this squeezed into a nice 10X12 sized room. The cribs are Mini cribs.

My first born Alexis just turned 5. She is a huge help. Alexis weighed 6 pounds 5 ounces at birth.
