Where has the time gone?

Wow....so much has happened since I last posted on here! I can no longer say I have 3 kids under the age of 3. Mallory turned 3 on May 27. She is such a big girl now! For her birthday last week she got to go spend the day at the zoo with just Mommy and Daddy. That was some quality time she really needed. We have just about officially finished the potty training with her as well since her accidents are few and far between now. (Thank you Lord!!) Our big 3 year old is taking swimming lessons this week and next week and it totally LOVING it. It seems like just yesterday she was the age of Aubrey and Whitney. Where has the time gone?

As far as the twins go....we are just trying to get and keep everyone healthy. It never fails, one of them gets sick and a couple of days later the other one comes down with the same thing. We actually had to take Aubrey to the emergency room on Mother's Day. She was obviously really sick. (Side note....I would not recommend the Mercy ER for babies!) Yes by the end of the week Whitney had it too. Since then we just can't seem to shake that upper respiratory stuff for them. Normally it wouldn't be too big of a deal but with the girls being premature everything is a big deal. It is really kind of scary!

Whitney has been sleeping through the night for quite a little while now. During one of Aubrey's doctor visits he asked me how she was sleeping and I told him not well because she coughs all night. He told me I can give her some Benadryl at night to help her with her cough so she can sleep. So now with the help of the Benadryl they are both sleeping through the night. Of course they both still sleep with their swaddle blankets. I know the real test of sleeping through the night is when they can do it unswaddled!

We have been trying cereal with the babies. Sometimes they get the hang of it and sometimes they don't. I hope they start getting the hang of it better soon so they can stretch their feedings out a little more than 2 hours. (Yes they eat every 2 hours. The joys of prematurity!!)

The girls will be 6 months on June 16. I really do wonder where the time has gone. I need to take all 3 girls to get pictures taken again soon. I hope to post some on here in the next couple of weeks!
