Two Months

Really?! Our my babies already 2 months old?? Wow, time is really flying by. The triplets are the sweetest things and are starting to have longer stretches of wake time. We have started trying to do "Babywise" and keep them on a eat, play, sleep schedule. We are hoping to have some good chunks of sleep in the mean time. Here is a day in the life of the boys at 2 months....Tuesdays and Thursdays are different because Harper goes to preschool from 9-2:30, which gets a little complicated getting him there and back.

6:45 am- Harper comes and snuggles jumps on me, asking when the babies are going to wake up...and repeatedly says, "Is it time to pump?" (He uses that for everything, bottle feeding, nursing, pumping! No secrets in our house!)

7am-Good morning time! I wake the boys up if they are not already awake, change diapers and begin feeding. I tandem nurse two, while the other one waits patiently. When the first 2 are finished Cam burps them while I diaper and nurse the 3rd. Pump. Harper is playing on our phones and lying in bed or watching TV while all this is taking place.

8am- I put the babies in their bouncers or swings and go make breakfast, Cam hops in the shower.

8:15 am  The boys are starting to fuss so I go in and swaddle each of them and lay them in the pack in play together for a morning nap.

8:30am Eat breakfast and enjoy massive amounts of coffee with Cam and Harper. Clean up and wash bottles from late night feedings.

9am- Try to spend quality time with Harper before it's time for another feeding.

10am- Change two babies diapers and begin to nurse babies while Harper plays on my phone or watches a movie on the ipad...seeing a common theme?? Attempt to get babies to burp before laying them down and feeding their brother. It takes forever for them to burp, they always burp and spit up as I lay them down :( Wake up 3rd baby, change diaper, nurse, burp.

11:15 am Put babies in bouncy seats while I get lunch ready for Harper....console fussy babies that don't enjoy being on the back....that involves several trips to the kitchen and master bedroom

11:30am Eat lunch, pack a lunch for Harper's summer school, clean kitchen

12:00pm Special time with Harper

1:00pm Change diapers, nurse, burp, snuggle babies all while Harper is playing games on my iphone or ipad.....get the picture!

2:15-3:30 Nap time for Harper, alone time for mama.....if no one is gassy

3:30pm Snack time for Harper, watch a movie so he be friendly after nap time

4pm Change diapers, Nurse, Burp babies.....all while Harper is sitting next to be in bed on the iphone!

5pm Daddy comes home!! He helps burp the boys and we all sit in bed and talk about our day

5:15pm I start dinner while Harper and Cam play the Wii

6pm Sit down to eat as a family, clean the kitchen

7pm- Feed the babies....change diapers x3, nurse x3, burp x3, cam and harper usually have special time.....ha ha that means they sit and play angry birds!! Then I pump for extra milk for the night time.

8pm- Bath, books, and bed for Harper

9pm- Prepare breast milk bottles for the night time feedings, start laundry, tidy the house

10pm I pump and feed 2 boys a bottle, while Cam feeds the 3rd. Change diapers, burp, and swaddle

11pm Get ready for bed, and PRAY that they don't wake up again for 3+ hours

2:30pm Someone usually wakes up, so we get everyone up, change diapers, feed, burp, and swaddle while pumping for the next feeding. Prepare bottles....Pray that they fall back to sleep....pretty rare that they all go back to sleep immediately. We are usually up pacifying until 3 or 3: 30

6:30-7am Repeat!!

The boys each have their own personality and like to be comforted in different ways. Hampton loves the paci and rarely cries, he loves to be snuggled and is notorious for spitting up on clean clothes. Hogan is our wild man, he was the first to roll over and loves to arch his back to try to get his paci. He also had a huge growth spurt and didn't poop for 10 days!! Hudson/Gordito/Chubs/Studson has the most nicknames and makes the funniest faces with his lips. He loves to be held and was the second guy to roll over. He recently out grew newborn diapers.
