4th of July Hair Bow Give Away :)
Go check out my SIGnature Creations blog & see the beautiful bows I am giving away! Yeah, I'm plugging my business. I need some work & why not see if anyone here needs head bows, tutus, or diaper cakes? Yes, I am shamelessly plugging my home business BUT the bows are super cute & they are FREE! The link...

Ian Update
I think it has been a while since I have really updated on Ian's progress. I know I mention things here & there but I wanted to post something just about him & what he has accomplished.
As many of you know, he got sick w/ the flu back in January. About 3 hrs after we had put him to bed, he woke up & was having difficulty breathing. 15 minutes after that, he started to seize which ended in an hour long ordeal, a trip to the hossy in an ambulance, & a very long night to later find out it was the flu along w/ a febrile seizure. They said he had a complex febrile seizure. He was allowed to come back home 2 days later on Saturday. The following Tuesday he had another seizure but it only lasted 3 minutes. We were going to the pediatrician anyway so we went about our morning & told her what happened.
Apparently it isn't abnormal to have another seizure w/i the same illness. The difference is that Ian became very lethargic after the 2nd one & was no longer able to guide food to his mouth, sit up or roll over, things he had been doing for quite some time. I called the pedi the next day & she reassured me that it was the flu that was kicking his ass.
Long story short, I insisted that Todd take him to the ER once again but this time to one of the best children's hossies in the nation. They admitted him IMMEDIATELY & 2 days later a verdict came in. They diagnosed him by exclusion (meaning they couldn't find anything else wrong w/ him) with post-infectious cerebellitis. They ruled this through a series of tests (CT scan, MRI, spinal tap & x-rays) which were checking for meningitis, encephalitis, epilepsy, etc. Everything came back amazingly normal which gave us comfort to know there were no long term consequences.
Basically his immune system attacked his brain. His motor skills were lost, all of them. His muscle tone was "floppy" meaning they didn't have any power to sit up or roll over or anything else. Not only that, he would try to move his body & rather than it doing what his brain was telling it to do, that part would move spastically. Having this happen to a 9.5 mth old is VERY rare, so rare that his attending hadn't seen a baby w/ this since her residency. They couldn't even tell us what to expect or how long his recovery would be. Not only that, there isn't much out there on the net that gave us anything to go off of.
Instead, he was referred to Early Childhood Intervention b/c he was now officially developmentally delayed. Luckily, Ian was recovering quicker than any of us expected. It has been a long road.
Let's celebrate his accomplishments! My sweet boy (anyone that knows him will say he has the best disposition of the 3 babies, so kind & sweet, always w/ a smile even when he was his sickest) is now able to crawl on his hands & knees, sit from laying, pull to standing on anything, & has been working hard to stand on his own. He is still a bit shaky when he is standing, a neurological side effect that he should outgrow. He was in shoes for 2 mths straight to help him w/ balance & stability & has now been given the go ahead to not wear shoes in order to strengthen his feet/ankles. We are hoping to avoid braces BUT if he needs them, we have no problem getting them.
He has made up much of the ground that he has lost. He is vocalizing more & trying to mimic sounds & actions. He can now feed himself quite well which is a blessing in itself b/c it was very hard to see the girls becoming so advanced & leaving him behind. This boy has really been to hell & back. I couldn't imagine thinking one thing like moving my arm & then it doing something completely different.
If it hadn't been for the wonderful team of neurologists that were pouring over his file after hours & calling us from home w/ their thoughts on what was going on, we may have had a much worse situation on our hands. All it took was 2 rounds of steroids to stop the antibodies from attacking his brain. What a simple solution for such a complex problem.
I'm putting some links that explain further what Ian went through. It is expected that he will make a full recovery & be right on track developmentally. I want to remind people of what we went through & let them know that you have to follow your instinct. I *KNEW* something was wrong w/ my little boy. I agonized over it for 5 days. I wish I hadn't waited so long but I thought that our pedi knew what she was talking about. Turns out that she never had a patient that experienced post infectious cerebellitis (or post infectious ataxia). We don't blame her & still go to her. She even asked me to keep a log of his developments. She now has a copy.
Post Infectious Ataxia
Cerebellitis

Types of Febrile Seizures
I hope this will give others the opportunity to be introduced to cerebellitis b/c God knows I knew nothing about it, not even febrile seizures. Give your loved ones an extra kiss & squeeze tonight.
Pictures as always!

Things that make my life easier.
What does a mommy really need? I'll tell you my thoughts on this have changed over the past year. Having triplets means keeping it as simple as possible at all times (or close to all the time). I find myself thinking, "If I only had one then I could do _______." Fill in the blank w/ just about anything.
Let's talk clothing. I take care of the trips by myself all day long & love doing it but I don't see the need to get them all dolled up 1st thing in the morning. Hell, we don't even change them in to PJs at night. They just sleep in their onesies. During the winter (Can you call it that here in TX???), the kids get footed PJs but otherwise we live in onesies. No shorts, no bows, no extras. Period. Now, when we go out, I do put shorts on them & shoes. Oddly enough, although I do not dress the girls identically, I do coordinate them & normally put matching bottoms (shorts, jeans) on them.
Why? Because it makes my life easier. Not having to change the kids from PJs to clothes every morning saves time & the struggle. You know what I mean. The kids are at that age that dressing them is quite challenging. So, the rule of thumb around here is less is best.
Bibs, ah...nasty ol' bibs. I have the perfect solution to them. These are made by Kiddopotamus. Link below to the actual product. Honestly, these are the coolest bibs, by far better than any other bib I have had the pleasure to come across. Why? Because I don't have to wash them in the washer. I can clean them after every feeding by simply rinsing them in the sink & letting them air dry. They are ready by the next feeding. I could go on & on about these bibs. They are the only ones we will use (except for the really cute ones Grandma Donna & Sheila got them for when we go out).
Kiddopotamus Bib
I am very thankful that someone was innovative enough to figure out these bibs. LOVE THEM! Can't say enough good things about them. When I was using regular bibs, I was going through close to 12 a day, one per meal b/c they would just get so nasty that I couldn't justify using them again. That means I would have a load of bibs every other day. Totally sucked. Now I don't have to worry about disgusting bibs b/c these are made of rubber.
**Disclaimer: I suppose this is a product endorsement although I'm not getting paid. I just wanted to let everyone know that these bibs are bad ass!**

Before I was a mommy...
things didn't bother me like they do now. Really. For instance, I was talking to my wonderful neighbor, Jane, when I noticed this preteen driving around in a golf cart, like he always does. I turned to Jane & asked, "Does that bother you?" She said it did & surprisingly I agreed with her.
There was a time before I was a mom that I would have though "Wow! What a lucky kid! I would have DIED to drive around our subdivision in a golf cart. COOL!" Now, not so much. This made me realize that there were lots of things I considered cool before I was a mommy & now I think they are quite rediculous.
I don't drink much anymore. If you knew me before, you could qualify me as a social drinker that liked to have a good time, especially on the weekends. Now, I'm good to go if I have a couple of beers. I don't even do that every night. I can't justify getting drunk anymore. What if something happens & my kids need me? Getting tipsy is more than enough & rarely at best. I'm sure this will change in time but for now, with them being so helpless, I will choose not to drink much.
I use to scoff at the thought of purchasing name brand grocery items but I find myself buying Tyson Anytizers all the time b/c that is what my kids like. Too bad they don't have an off brand for those Anytizers. I just give something up that I would like. Also, I get the kids Goldfish. They don't have a generic for that either. Hmft.
That is another thing that has changed, giving up things I would get myself so that my kids will have instead. I use to have a pretty good salary. Looking back, I spent it all frivolously. I don't have much to show for it. There is so much I didn't need. Wish I hadn't spent it all.
Bowheads, man...what can I say about that? Um, I never understood the need for ribbons & bows. Now that I have 2 girls, fa-ged-about-it! Seriously, if they would keep the bows in, they would be wearing them all the time. I think it is super cute! My girl will end up being bowheads unless they are tomboys & the likelyhood of that happening is pretty high since I was one.
Once upon a time, I thought breastfeeding past a year was weird. Yeah, not so much anymore. I've posted about it before. If you want to read the whole shpeel, here is the link.
Extended Breastfeeding
I use to frown upon those mommies that took their kids out in onesies. I just didn't understand but now I do. Not that I go to the dr w/ them in just onesies but they pretty much live in them unless we go out in public. For our evening walks, I don't put shorts on if they have a onesie on. I've got 3 kids to keep up with. Sorry!
I don't think I would have ever grown a garden but now I am seriously considering it for next year, as well as making my own mulching pile in the backyard which leads me to think about recycling. I did it sparingly in the past. Didn't think much of it. Now I am making more of an effort. I having shopping bags & rather than getting the plastic ones, I carry those around anywhere I go whether it be to the grocery store or the arts & crafts store. We also recycle plastic & I save all our papers for my parents to use. Who would have thunk? Me, a more earth conscience adult.
Speaking of home grown gardens, thank you Jane for giving us cherry tomatoes. Sofi & Ian loved them. Gabi, in true form, did not.
I know there is more that I want to say but I can't remember. It's been a long weekend! I can say this, there isn't anything I wouldn't do for my kids, to keep them safe & sound. They, along w/ Todd, are the core of my being.

Doing things we shouldn't be doing, hehe!
Over the course of the past month, these kids have started testing limits. Not that they weren't before but now they really & in ways that could give them a big bump on the noggin. I'm not sure how to handle the climbing except to be there just in case b/c it is obvious that it isn't going to stop. Rather than fight what seems to be natural in their development, I am going w/ the flow.
Sofi seems to be heading the way in climbing. We have this really neat activity table that was given to them by Julie & Sofi has managed to figure out how to sit & stand in the storage compartment.
Here are all 3 playing on the couch. I'm not sure what the fascination is BUT they LOVE being on it. They can't stop giggling & hopping around. Geez, just sitting on the couch makes them break out in a huge smile!
Sofi also likes to pull up the mats we have on the floor, especially the border. It is driving me crazy! I just gave up putting the border back on.
One last thing, this is mommy related. Ian woke up the day before yesterday w/ his thumb a bit red & slightly swollen. I figured it was a bite of some sort, probably a mosquito. As the day went on, a small clear blister formed & I did something *I* shouldn't have. I squeezed it. Oops. His thumb got huge & then I got that sick feeling in my stomach & thought to myself, "Oh shit. I did it now." We ended up in the dr's office, just to make sure I hadn't done some irrevocable damage. He got some antibiotic ointment along w/ oral antibiotics. Todd said not to give the oral b/c it was evening & we didn't want him to go to bed w/ a new med so I waited until the next day. By that time, the cream had done a good job so I played dr & decided not to give him the oral. Anyway, just another learning experience. Being a 1st time mom can definitely be challenging.

Triplets Meeting Triplets
Yesterday we were on our daily family walk & saw a huge group of kids sitting in someone's front yard. Both Todd & I were wondering what they were doing? It was a peaceful gathering, no signs of trouble. Then all the sudden 2 girls start running towards us & say "Are they triplets?!?!" I didn't know whether to jump in front of the stroller or what b/c I was certain they were just excited about seeing babies, right? Wrong.
The 2 girls were both triplets. Get this, they weren't from the SAME group of triplet siblings either. They were both from DIFFERENT SETS! Each girl had 2 brothers in their sets, the opposite of what we have. They were so excited to meet the kids & we were excited to meet not 1 but 2 girls from differents sets.
Turns out that the big group of kids sitting on the lawn were celebrating that they were now high school freshment. How cute! The girls are 14 yrs old & I wish I had listened better to what their names were. DARN! Oddly enough, as we were sitting there talking to them, one of the moms pulled up in her car. I do remember her name, Barbara. She not only had her trips which were her 1st set of kids but she also had 2 more singletons after the fact.
We ended up talking to her for a good 10 minutes. I gave her my contact info & am hoping to have the 2 girls come over & play w/ the kids one day, maybe go swimming all together. How fun! To top it off, both sets of triplets live in the same subdivision (have to add that our subdivision is not small).
Sorry, no pics today. Yesterday was very busy. I'll have to blog about that tomorrow.

We are "normal"!
Our very first playdate OUTSIDE the house! I feel like we are "normal" in the sense that it isn't a huge production to get out of the house. It was so much fun to actually have a real playdate w/ another mom & her trio. Thank you, Susan, for letting us come over!
I was a bit scared that since our trio is 14 mths old & hers are almost 7 mths old that there would be some issues. Yep, I had the normal mommy worries. I thought about what would happen if Sofi bit one of her kids. What if Gabi took the toys away? Ian is infamous for stealing pacis. Would he go snatch their paci out of their mouths? ACK!
I wanted it to go perfectly & I was a bit scared that maybe the kids would have a meltdown when we got there. I'm not sure if Susan was feeling the same way but you could tell we were both like fish out of water. This was a new experience for the both of us. We even said at the end of the time that it was nice to feel like every other family out there. It went so well that we are going to have a playdate every other week!
I'm so excited! The kids are getting out more & they are tolerating it well. They even napped well today for the 1st time in 3-4 days. I have to say that summertime is definitely much better than icky RSV season.
Now for some playdate pics!
I had to share this one b/c this happened to me w/ a friend's twins. I had no idea just how NOT child proof my home was until they came over. Susan got a taste of mobile babies & what they can get in to. She had to sit in front of the tv to keep the babies out of the goodies. Gabi was trying to get to the DVD cases, no matter the cost!
Ava is in the green (she is already crawling, :o ) & Mia is in the pink. They are just TOO PRECIOUS!
I tried to get a better picture of our 2 biggest babies, Gabi & Andrew, but this is as good as it got. 6 kids is a lot to keep up with!
Ian & Ava were playing togeter, so sweet <3!
