Our House is SOLD After Only 28 Days!!!!!

Yep, you got it. Our house is SOLD. We received our first offer on Saturday as we were heading down to Myrtle Beach and sold it by that Tuesday. We have looked at the house we are wanting to purchase a couple of times since we got back and have come to the conclusion that we still like it very much. We had to work out some details and will work on placing our initial offer tomorrow. Please pray, as we will be also, that this process goes smoothly and they are accepting of the amount we are willing to pay. We love this house and it has a lot of options for the kiddos in years to come. If this doesn't work out, we only have one other house in mind. Our other option is to build. We know this is a difficult process. We know many people who have gone through it. We want what is best for us whatever that may be.

We came back from vacation on Saturday night. We had a great time thanks to the help of Aunt Tracy & Grandma & Grandpa Bum. The triplets did awesome on the ride to and from Myrtle Beach. They are amazing babies. We went out to eat every evening and they were wonderful. They were given much attention by people around us. People just can't grasp the concept of three. The babies enjoyed, for the most part, the lazy river, the ocean & taking naps on the beach. It was a great time.

The babies had their 6 month checkup yesterday. They found that Collin has an ear infection. He has been placed on an antibiotic and he has also been wheezing since before we left on vacation. He is continuing his breathing treatments every 4 hours and is also on a steroid to help his lungs. He still seems like a pretty happy boy spite all of his sickness but please pray that he gets well soon. Collin is now weighing in at about 18lbs. Anniston is a little more than 13lbs and Bailey is about 12 1/2 lbs. They are all growing well. Collin was taken off of the special Neosure formula because he is in the 50th percentile for weight. The girls are still barely on the unadjusted charts and are expected to be, however, they need to continue on the Neosure to give them the extra nutrients and calories they need to grow. Overall the pediatrician is very pleased with their progress so they're no concerns at this point as far as their growth and their development. We will be seeing the Physical & Occupational Therapists again in August to see where they fall in that regard but they are expected to have some delays and we believe they will do well in catching up by the age of 3 if not before as expected by the doctors. They have already proven that at the last appointment. Collin will also be seeing a Cardiologist to determine if he still has a PDA (heart condition). If so, we may have to talk about surgery (will not be too invasive). Please pray for Collin in this regard also. Poor guy. He has been through a lot.

I will be seeing a general surgeon later this month for some muscle separation I have from the pregnancy. Please pray that this will be covered by insurance. Many cases aren't because they term it as cosmetic. I find it hard to believe that a 2 inch gap from your sternum all the way down your abdomen to be cosmetic. Please pray that I will be qualified for the surgery. If so, we will be trying to get it done this year due to the conditions of our insurance.

Mom & Dad are doing great. It is hard sometimes but we love our babies and they mean the world to us. We are really blessed to have them.

Thanks for your continued prayers & encouragement.
