A Little Hiccup...

Look! Our cribs have arrived!

Baby Boy

Hey there, baby boy (#1) here. I am writing a quick note to say HI! We had another appointment in Fargo with our perinatologist. At 23 weeks, most babies are supposed to weigh a little over 1-pound. Guess how much I weigh? 1.4 POUNDS!!!! (Round of applause, please.) As of right now, I’m where the average 23-week baby should be.

Baby Girl

Hi, baby girl (#2) here. After seeing out perinatologist, we found out that we’ll be taking a few more trips to Fargo. As my boasting brother was saying, most babies should be a little over 1-pound right now. I’m only weighing in at 1 pound. After checking all the important things, our doctor said I’m doing well, but just a little too small. In another week, we’ll check again. In the meantime, I’ll be sneaking food from my brother and sister!

Baby Girl

Hi guys, baby girl (#3) here to wrap it up. I know girls are not supposed to talk about their weight, but I’m weighing in at a whopping 1.2 pounds. I am just a little bit shy of what is expected for a baby my age. Two-ounce difference from my brother doesn’t seem like much, but every ounce is super important for any baby, especially multiples. Let’s keep praying that we all continue to grow so mommy looks like she’s got a few watermelons under her shirt!

Please keep praying for us! Pray that we all continue to grow, that we all can get along in here, and that mommy continues to do so well carrying us beautiful babies.

See you soon…(but not too soon!)

That's our mommy at 22 weeks!

Moving Right Along...Literally!

This would look killer on our new ride!

Hey there! I hope this reaches everyone well. It has been a beautiful week here in Grand Forks with the sun shining, smell of fresh-cut grass, and birds chirping. Yes…summer is right around the corner! This past week we got to celebrate mommy’s first Mother’s Day and daddy’s first birthday as a dad-to-be! Now daddy’s age is finally catching up to his gray hair and receding hairline. There have been a lot of changes at our house the past few weeks. Mommy and daddy have been busy with preparations for us. Furniture has been moved, nails have been pounded, and paint has dried.

We have had a lot of visitors lately. We were able to celebrate Auntie Jenny, Uncle Jeffrey, and Cousin Mallory’s graduation parties at our house. There were lots of family, friends, and food. (We like our food!!) Congratulations to them all! We are sad to see our Auntie, Uncle, and cousins move to Tioga, but very excited for the next chapter in their lives. That just means we’ll be making more trips out west to see all of our family. Good thing we’ve got a great set of wheels… :)

Week 22 is a pretty important week for us and for mommy, too. It means we have gotten over the hump and we only have 18 weeks left! We each weigh about 1 pound in here and are about the length of a football. We’re continuing to do really well in here, as mommy is taking great care of us! She continues to give us our favorite foods. Ice cream, fruit, pizza, and veggies have been our favorites this week. We’re moving around like crazy. Mommy is able to feel us because we keep kicking her bladder. She said it’s great to feel us, but it isn’t so much fun having to go to the bathroom 10,000 times per day. When mommy and daddy see us on camera, we’re all practicing our sweet dance moves. Daddy says we must take after him and his killer moves on the dance floor. Right now, we look like mini-versions of what we’ll look like when mommy and daddy see us in a few months. Our facial features have all formed and we’re looking quite cute. We’re also growing our hair out. Hopefully it is much thicker than daddy’s and the color takes after mommy’s side… :P

Monday is another big day for all of us. We go back to Fargo to meet with our doctor there. They will be watching us for a really long time on camera checking to make sure everything is looking great. We promise that we’ll behave so mommy and daddy can get better pictures than the last ones in Grand Forks. (We were kind of naughty!) We’ll share more news next week.

Well, it’s time for another nap. We sure like our naps, just like daddy. Keep those prayers, kind words, and positive thoughts coming our way. Enjoy the nice weather! 

Talk to you soon!!!

Isn't Auntie Jenny creative?

1/2 Way There!!

Hi there, ladies and gents! It has been a very busy couple of weeks in here...and for mommy and daddy, too. We're growing so much. Can you believe that we each are about the length of a large banana? For us in here, we relate everything to food. Speaking of food, ice cream is still our favorite.

We have made it to the 1/2 way mark!
Looking great, mommy!

Look who came to celebrate the big 2-0!

Uncle Kelly, Daddy, Uncle Clayton, Uncle Jared,
Mommy, Auntie Kailey, Auntie Annie

For our 20 week celebration, mommy and daddy took us bowling for the first time. We were very excited to share the day with our best friends. All of us shared lots of laughs throughout the evening. Mommy couldn't bowl too much because we are making her belly bigger. Speaking of her belly...it kind of looks like she is smuggling a bowling ball of her own under her shirt! A very beautiful bowling ball, for sure. Mommy and Daddy visited with Dr. Wildey and he was happy to see us. He said that mommy is doing very well carrying us little munchkins. So well, that there are still no restrictions for mommy. The nurses even said she is doing better than some mommies carrying only one peanut at 20 weeks. Way to go, mommy!!

Well, we will talk to you all next week. Take care, and thank you for all the support you've given us all! :)
