It's almost funny!

Hey, do you want to hear something funny? 

The Doctor thinks I may have swine flu and Becky has carpal tunnel in both wrists from carrying babies!  Talk about piling it on. 

I was feeling somewhat sick on Tuesday night and thought it was a cold.  Then Wednesday I worked all day and I started to feel worse by the end of the day.  Thursday I went to the Doctor and they said I had the flu, except, it's not flu season yet, so the only likely option is the darn swine flu.  Obviously we were immediately frightened for the safety of the babies because of the fact that they don't have immune systems yet.  So we called the pediatrician and they let us know that if they were going to catch it that they would have by now so we should look for certain symptoms.  Thank God they have not shown any symptoms so far like lethargy, lack of eating, abnormal fussiness etc.  They are still just being themselves.  Becky also has not caught it.  So, since yesterday I have been sequestered on the 3rd floor of the house and working from my home office when I feel up to it.  I can't hold the babies which is sad and I have to wear a mask when I am in the rest of the house.  Hopefully the antiviral drugs will work fast!

Becky also went to the Doctor yesterday because her wrist has been hurting so bad.  She's been diagnosed with carpal tunnel (in both but one is worse than the other) and had to have a cortisone shot in one wrist and has to wear a brace.  She is pushing through it though because the worste thing we can do is have me helping out around the kids.  Friends and family have been rallying to help which is nice and we are very grateful for.  We are not sure what the prognosis is for her wrist but she'll have to deal with it once I get better.

The good news is the babies went to the Doctor the other day and we confirmed that they have been growing very well despite all their reflux etc... Kaitlyn is 10lbs 8 oz, Sullivan is 10 lbs 1 oz, Kylee is 8lbs 9oz!

Sully is quite long and doesn't fit into anything under 3 months anymore.  Kylee is wearing all of Kaitlyn's old stuff already and Kaitlyn is closing on on wearing 3-6 month stuff. 

Sullivan can almost roll over now and tries diligently to do so when given a chance.  He took the title of star eater and sleeper from Kaitlyn recently.  Kaitlyn is our little gerber baby and Kylee is our little outgoing one so far.  If you hold Kylee you will notice that she is always searching the room for somebody to stare at, it is pretty funny. 

They are mostly happy, except between 5pm and 10pm and 3am to 10am, kind of kidding, but not really. 

We've been talking to some triplet parents lately and they have assured us that their babies gave them a hard time initially like ours have but that it gets better.  Mostly it is the lack of sleep that has been hard.  Popular triplet mom opinion is that in the next month or so they will be sleeping much better.  Fingers are crossed!

That's it for now, back to bed for me and on to feedings for Becky!
