Have triplets. Will travel.

The boys (all 4 of them) are currently napping to recover from our big day out. We walked to the pediatrician appointment today, in order to enjoy the perfect summer day. This outing, though, meant that we got to enjoy more comments from strangers as we passed by with our SUV-sized stroller for 3. The best comment actually came from a 5 year old who, as he passed by on his Razor scooter, stopped (nearly skidding out), starred at the boys and just said "Whoa".

The triplet stroller (the truck behind Rob is a good comparison for size...)


Waiting at the bus stop (loading and unloading from the house to the stroller is a two person job)


The pediatrician was pleased with the boys' health (a week and a half down and we haven't unintentionally harmed the boys), especially with their continuous weight gain. Shanna, if you're reading this, we nearly called you and Christine in the NICU with the good news. Their official weigh-ins (not sure why this is so different than the visiting nurse's assessment yesterday...):

Winston: 5lbs 2oz, 18 inches


Wesley: 4lbs 15oz, 18 inches


Charlie: a whopping 5lbs 4oz, 18.25 inches


We continue to be blessed with how the Lord has provided. The last two times we have visited the pediatrician, we have left with 7-8 cans of free Similac NeoSure formula, left with them to distribute from the Similac reps. They have also helped us sign up for the multiples program, where Similac will send another 3 cases of the NeoSure formula. Now I just need to look into a multiples program for Pampers, as we're going through 25-30 diapers a day.

One multiples program we won't be looking into is Playtex. We tried their Ventair bottle last night, and to keep this clean, let's just say we were less than pleased. Also frustrating was that the bottles, though proven useless as feeding systems, were indistructable and wouldn't succumb to a cleaver. Yes, we tried. They now rest peacefully in our garbage after having been crushed by Rob's left foot.
