Happy Due Date!

Today the boys hit their 40 week gestation mark. We had been told that things change when they hit their due date, and man, were they right. The boys welcomed in this milestone with a night of fussiness - each with their own reason, or lack thereof, for not sleeping.

We did manage a few small victories today. We finally figured out how to complete bathtime in less than an hour and without massive back pain (mine) and tears (theirs). The boys wore outfits for the first time (again, small victories). And best of all, we figured out the Maximom triplet carrier. It is designed so that all 3 carriers can be worn by one (crazy) person - 2 in the front, 1 in the back. Nana and I chose to split the carriers between us. The stares are something I'll have to get used to...


Getting ready for assembly
The product even comes with a video that explains how to put the thing together. A video! And even then we had to stop/pause/rewind about 20 times before we understood what to do...

Happy Due Date Day (+1)!! That carrier is very impressive - wow!!! I won't think the 5 lb weights at the gym are heavy when I think about you carrying 3 babies at once. Thanks for posting so many great pictures, it is great to see boys, parents, grandparents, gruncles all looking so happy! I miss you!

I am impressed that you figured that thing out, and hoping soon you'll figure out how to put it on Julep: two boys on one side and the third on the other side, with a meatball sandwich for added ballast. Think about it. Katherine

Virginia Lane Yadda Yadda Yadda,

So really, how is it that you're smiling? More to the point, how is it that you're awake? I only have one and it was about two years before I could smile again.

Anyway, I hadn't been able to say congrats until Alex sent me the URL, so CONGRATS Sox fans!
