Potential Buyer????? We'll see!

Well, we put our house on the market a couple of weeks ago and have had nothing but great responses since then.  Well maybe one bad one.  You'll always have those.  We have a possible interest in our house and will hopefully find out beginning of next week if an offer will be made. We have mixed feelings.  We need a bigger home for our rapidly growing family but we will miss our little home.  Jason & I were talking about what we would miss about our house.  One thing would be that the babies will never remember the house we brought them home to after their 5 week stay in the NICU.  Their are so many memories we have made since then let alone since we got married 5 years ago and even 10 years ago when Jason purchased it as his first home.  What wonderful memories.  It is a great home and we will miss it so much.  I am sure  a lot of you can relate as you have started your own families and found that the house that was big enough for the two of you was no longer big enough for your growing family.  Please pray for us especially this weekend as a very important decision will be made.  We pray that our house will sell at the right time and that we will find the best home for us to raise our family in for many years to come.  We have one in mind but some details need to be worked out.  Please pray that this will go smoothly.  

The babies are doing great, by the way.  They are growing well.  Collin especially.  He is now in the 50th percentile for his weight and it isn't on a preemie scale.  He is rapidly catching up.  He weighs 16lbs 3oz. He is eating like a champ.  We started him on fruits and vegetables.  He eats anything you put in front of him.  No problem.  Anniston & Bailey are weighing in at 121/2 & 12 lbs.  They are in the 6th & 2nd percentiles. Anniston is now eating from a spoon.  She is having a slow start but is progressing very well.  She has also been eating her fruits and vegetables.  Bailey is getting started on eating some cereal with a spoon also.  She is progressing well.  We will be starting her on fruits and vegetables soon.

The babies are still sleeping very well.  We have never been able to complain in this area.  They are still sleeping from about 9-9:30ish until 6 in the morning.  I feed them and put them back down and am able to go back to bed until 9-930ish.  

We think they are starting the teething process.  We have heard that they can teeth for a while before they actually get teeth and we think that is what they are experiencing now.  They have some fussy times.  The evenings are becoming a little quieter.  They haven't been getting really fussy until about 8pm.  We are able to enjoy them a little more and they are as well.  

All of the babies are attempting to talk.  It is hilarious.  Anniston starts jibber jabbing and then laughs and continues to jibber jabb so it sounds like she is trying to tell us a story.  Maybe some day we will know what that story is but for now we can only wonder.  Collin & Bailey try to talk also.  They are too cute.  They are always smiling.  We are having tons of fun with them.  Don't get me wrong.  It is hard sometimes but the good times are priceless and those are the ones we will remember forever.  

The family is leaving next Friday on vacation.  Jason & I, the babies, Grandma & Grandpa Bum, & Aunt Tracy are heading to Myrtle Beach.  Please pray for us for we are driving and we don't know how the babies will do.  We are trying to arrange it so that we can console them a little better while they are in the car seats.  I guess you can only do so much but we can at least try.  Usually their car seats are all in a row in the middle seat.  We will free up the middle of that seat so that I can sit between two of them if they get fussy and try to play with them, etc.... We may have one ride with Grandma & Grandpa Bum so someone can take care of the other one as well.  Jason & I are looking forward to the trip.  It will be fun.  

Thanks so much for your continued support and encouragement!

Short Update

Hey all, a short update about the triplets. The kiddos are doing well. They are all healthy again after a brief time of sickness. We've been holding up pretty well with grandma and grandpa Bum out of the country on their European cruise. They arrive back tonight! Collin has moved on to the size 3 diapers since he seems to pee through all the size 2 ones. Anniston has started taking her evening rice cereal with a spoon! Collin continues to do well with the spoon fed rice as well. We will see when Bailey is ready to get in on the action. The kids continue to sleep well at night (from after their 9 pm feed until 6 am).

Our house is on the market! We had a showing yesterday evening. Couldn't have done it without a heroic effort by Kristy. Got the call around 2 pm that they wanted to come at 5 pm. She cleaned the house up, mowed the yard and loaded a good deal of the baby stuff in the van in time to vacate the house. Did I mention she took care of the three babies as well (with some help from Aunt Sharon)?!
