Busy Dad, Busier Mom…

I’ve been off the grid for a bit too long….  I’ve been getting a few questions about the Triplets lately and realized that I hadn’t even written a post about the big news from last week.  Talk about a bad blogger Dad.

Last week on Wednesday, we brought little JD home!  He seemed a bit disappointed that he would no longer be able to flirt with the nurses, but I think he’ll get over it. Finally……..the whole family is under one roof!  After a rocky start to the weekend with both Jill and Lindsay coming down with the flu, we are finally getting things back on track.  All three kids passed their follow-up check-ups with flying colors last week, which is also great news.  At the appointments, they were all well on their way to 7 lbs and the doc estimated that at the rate they were going, that they may creep into the normal growth metrics for term babies by the 4 month mark.  It’s pretty cool that each baby has two plot points on the growth curves, one for real age and one for their adjusted age.  Technically, the Trips aren’t even age zero (adjusted) yet, so their first plot points for adjusted age are currently off the left edge of the chart.  As they grow, the points will eventually merge into a single set, indicating an informal exit from preemie status from the growth perspective.  Keep up the good work kiddos!

Somehow I haven’t managed to get a picture of all three kids together yet, but that is on my agenda for this weekend.  Once I get a good pic, I’ll get another post out.  Today I at least wanted to give everyone a quick update and hopefully I’ll keep things a bit more up to date.
