Tiff's Turn

Happy Thanksgiving from us baby triplets! It's a little late, but we are babies so we don't care. Our parents found out how difficult it is to travel for the day during Thanksgiving. After we took our portrait at home, we headed out to Nana and Papa's. Our big sister stayed busy making her list for Santa on the way there. We don't know why Mom thought being gone all day with 5 month old triplets was exhausting. We loved being held the entire day since we didn't have swings, bouncy seats, or cribs. We didn't sleep because sleeping in a Pack n Play is for the birds. We are just looking forward to the day when we can dance, play on the big swings, go Black Friday shopping, and write letters to Santa like our big sister. This seems to be what big people do on Thanksgiving. It also seems that Thanksgiving can sometimes happen twice in one year when we got to join Aria at her school's Thanksgiving feast! We lea...

"I Could Not Ask For More" ~Performed by Sara Evans Lying here with you Listening to the rain                                                          Smile just to see the smile upon your face These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive And these are the moments I'll remember all my life I've found all I've waited for And I could not ask for more Looking in your eyes Seeing all I need Everything you are is everything in me These are the moments I know heaven must exist And these are the moments I know all I need is this I've found all I've waited for, yeah And I could not ask for more I could not ask for more than this time together I could not ask for more than this time with you And every prayer has been answered Every dream I've had'...

Yesterday, the babies had a developmental check-up as part of their NICU follow-up. These therapists did some exercises with the babies to check on their developmental milestone progression.  Aria had a great time because the office had fantastic toys for her to play with. Good news: the triplets are all on target with their actual age (not just their preemie adjusted age) and they won't be needing any physical therapy. These ladies agreed with our pediatrician that Livi needs a helmet. You can probably tell by this picture: Poor Livi was so smashed in the womb being "Baby A" on the bottom and holding up those boys. The therapists suggested to also check Henry's head for a helmet when Livi gets fitted. Apparently, Beckett has a great shaped head for his age. I'm guessing this is because he was on top of Livi and Henry while I was pregnant, giving him more room than the other two. Because of their head shape, we learned a couple of differen...

One year ago today, I had no idea what my life was about to become. One year ago today, I had no idea how much my body was about to change. One year ago today, I had no idea that visiting Santa Claus would go from this to this: One year ago today, I had no idea that attending Colbin's sporting events would go from this to this: One year ago today, I had no idea that I was about to perform in my last Christmas pageant at church for quite a while. This is all because one year ago today, Levi and I thought we were about to become pregnant with one, maybe two, babies. One year ago today, we saw our beautiful new babies for the first time. We had just two, perfect, microscopic lives who were developing ahead of their game. These little five-day-old embryos went from this to this: Since the chance of becoming pregnant with three babies from two embryos was about 1/1,000 the thought never crossed our minds we would get 3 li...
