Hi!!! Well I'm super late on posting this now but my friend Heather HAD HER TRIPLET BOYS!!! They are like a week old now but I am so unbelievably happy for her, proud of her and STILL in shock that she just had triplets too. I feel like we will talk about it our entire lives...like we will never really believe it that I had triplet girls and she had triplet boys. I love it. :) She did an AMAZING job carrying them to 34 weeks! Andrew was 4.10, Derek 5.12 (!!!), and Micah 4.15. That is awesome. :) This week has been hard not being able to be there with her! I call her like every day just to hear the latest update on who drank how many cc's or who's off what machine or whatever. It is all so familiar and so fun to have your best friend go through so much of what I already went through. I told Ryan "this makes me want to have triplets again!" And then he said "Take it back! Take it back!" :) Oh dear. :)
Anyway, I'm just so excited for Heather because I truly LOVE having triplets and I know she will too. Yes it's definitely tough and there are definite "seasons" of difficulty...but I love how they always have a playmate...and how they understand each other so well...how they come home from school singing songs that I don't even know...I love how they get to have a sleepover every night....I love how we get to have family nights and play "Princess Yahtzee" together....I love how I get a break cuz they're all in school at the same time! :) I just love my girls and it's so fun watching them grow up. Here they are giving us an electric guitar performance. (These guitars play "I'm a Barbie Girl" all at 3 different paces...and then they sing "twinkle twinkle little star" OVER that sound. We like these guitars in the basement. :)
And I should really let Grandma Kathy write this little excerpt but she told me the other day this story about when she was babysitting. We have this Little People Nativity set...so they were playing with it and re-telling the Christmas story to the girls and Emily was supposed to be the innkeeper. So she was instructed that when Joseph and Mary come and ask for a room she has to say no. Well, when Joseph (Grandma) pleaded and begged for a room - Emily, just got so concerned and felt so bad for Joseph and Mary that she said "Yes! You can have a room!" But then Grandma and Grandpa had to say "no no no, that's not how the story goes. You have to say no. There's no room in the inn." So then Joseph (Grandma) pleaded again for a room - a garage or even a closet to sleep in...and the innkeeper (Emily) would just look at her with big compassionate eyes and say "Yes!!" Grandma instructed her again to say no ....there was no room for Joseph and Mary in the inn so they need to have baby Jesus in the barn! Emily got frustrated and didn't want to play anymore. She said "I don't like the way this story goes." She so badly wanted baby Jesus to be born in a hotel. :)
She's always been our little compassionate one. :)
