This week...so far

Yesterday (the 25th) was supposed to be the girls' birthday, if they had gone full term. They have been working hard these last 3 weeks trying to make it out here in this big world before they were supposed to, and doing a pretty good job. However, there are some things that we will need to be working on, such as sleeping in places other than Dad, Grandma, or Mom's chest, especially at night! Getting stronger latches and nursing for longer periods of time and Mamma getting the hang of simultaneous nursing and managing 3 kiddos who all need some TLC. Thankfully we have an amazing and wonderful support system of family and friends to help us get there, and Chad and I help each other remember that this is just the briefest of phases. Before we know it they'll be running and jumping, just like their big sister. Here are some of my favorite pics of this week so far...

Cassidy has been an amazing big sister, being very helpful to me and wanting to be involved in all aspects of her sisters' care

She helped decorate their room with butterflies she made




Pushing them in the swing to help settle an upset tummy


Learning how to help burp is her new favorite thing to do...Love those beutiful eyes!


We also had some firsts...the girls first fresh air and sunshine. Rylee was not happy being on her own, but Sawyer seemed very comfortable outside



First baths...definitely a team effort. The twins were NOT impressed!



Cuddle time with Daddy and his girls



Cassidy getting a kick out of being too big for her sisters' gear


We are a little busy around here, but doing our best to support each other and enjoy all the little moments that make up the good stuff
