June 5-July 15, 2011

Wow, it has been a long time since I had time to update the blog!  There were many special days we had these past few weeks.  Hayden turned 2 on June 10th!  We went to Red Robin on Hayden's birthday with my parents, Ashley, Katie, Kyle, Olivia, and my Grandma and Grandpa Lulay and Gescher.  We had tons of on-lookers when we brought the triplets in!  Then, we also had a birthday party with family and friends and Hayden loved every minute of it!  We can't believe he is already 2 years old, and who would have thought he would be a big brother to triplets?!  Father's Day was extra special this year, having 4 kids is amazing!  I had my birthday on June 24th and Sarah made an amazing dinner for me!  My aunt Joanne, uncle Leonard, and Kendra came over and met the triplets for the first time and brought us dinner and some gifts for the triplets.  The dinner and cookies were amazing!  The triplets are growing like crazy and are all talking more, smiling, and starting to grab things.  On July 9th (my mom's birthday), Hunter actually blew bubbles when cooing!  Holden seems to be the one that grabs the most stuff.  Hunter smiles whenever you talk to him, no matter what time of day.  Hadley is sweet as always and usually sleeps from about 8 PM to 5 AM.  The boys seem to wake up more than her to eat.  Sarah's aunt Julie, uncle John, Devin, Mitchell, and Gabby came up to Oregon to see the triplets and us.  I never got to spend any time with them because I worked 4 days straight.  We went to Kyle and Katie's for the 4th of July and Hayden loved the fireworks!  In fact, he ran around screaming and flopping on the grass during the fireworks.  We also went to the parade, but Hunter hated the loud sirens, so Sarah and my dad took the triplets back early. 
On July 5th, the triplets went to the doctor and they were:
Hunter: 15 lbs and 25.75 inches
Holden: 13 lbs 13 oz and 24.75 inches
Hadley: 12 lbs 2 oz and 23.25 inches
I switched from working days to nights the week of July 4th.  I tried it for 2 weeks, but Sarah and I decided right now it is too hard for me to work nights because she has no help at night.  I was looking forward to interviewing for the ANM spot on my floor, but I know now is not the time to work nights.  Thanks to everyone who gave me the opportunity to attempt nights.  Our friend Stephanie came over to see thr triplets with her husband and they brought them gifts.  My cousin Tyler and Autumn welcomed a baby girl, Lexi, on July 12th.  It will be fun to see her grow up with our kids as well as Olivia.  On July 14th, Hunter decided to roll over from his back to his belly while at my Grandma and Grandpa Gescher's house (of course Sarah and I were in the other room, but my grandparents saw him do it).  We continue to thank the Lord everyday for what amazing children we have and we are blessed to have such amazing families and help!
