Labor Day Weekend

Hi to all.  Above is a picture of the three wee ones on their fun blanket. They seem to be very intrigued by laying there together and are starting to really see a lot of different things and having some reaction to them. When we put them on the this play mat they move their arms like crazy and kick and stare at each other and seem to thoroughly enjoy the experience. 
Kaitlyn was weighed last Thursday at 8lbs 5.5 oz so I'm guessing she's around 8lbs 10oz today.  Kylee was weighed at 6lbs 7 oz and she's been eating like crazy so i'm guessing she is 6lbs 14 or so.  Sullivan was weighed at 8lbs 1oz so he's probably closing in on 8lbs 7oz today. 
They are definitely turning into little full term babies now and are much more interested in their surroundings and demand a change if they don't like where they are or what is happening. 
Becky and I are working hard to give them everything they need and thankfully have had some wonderful help from all the grandparents and some great friends and neighbors.  We've even had some Aunts and Uncles pitch in and lend a hand.  So there is no shortage of people that love these little guys. 
We are enjoying our little ones so much but kind of are looking forward to a month or two out when they are sleeping and eating a bit more.  Right now it is pretty much every 2.5 - 3 hours you have to get them going.  Which means that we really only get about 1.5-2 hrs of sleep at a stretch.  That is if one of them doesn't have an issue or want to play when they are supposed to be sleeping.
Overall we think they are doing well, and our home care nurse has said she does not need to come anymore because they are doing so well.
Kaitlyn graduated from her Apnea monitor this week so we just have Sullivan left on his, which does make things considerably easier. 
That's it for now, have a wonderful long weekend!
