The triplets have grown so much. Micah and Patrick are smiling now. Kathleen was smiling a little before we left but Micah and Patrick were naturals. Micah has a couple of dimples when he smiles ... Just melts your heart! Micah had also found his fist and thumb before I got there and Patrick found his while I was there. Here's Micah and his fist.
I tried to teach Kathleen how to laugh/scream and she would do it every once and a while. Ginger said she would blame me if Kathleen continued to do that, especially in the middle of the night!
The babies didn't lack for presents on Christmas. Kathleen got a couple of baby dolls and the boys got a Tonka truck each. Books, puzzles, and others things were received. They have lots to look forward to!
Ginger thinks she may go back to work later this month. Please pray for her and Jo Jo as she makes the best decision about when to go back. And pray for her emotional health of having to leave them at daycare. I can't imagine how hard it would be having to leave them when she has spent almost every day and night with them since they were born. Micah, Patrick, & Kathleen will go to a daycare very close to Ginger's office. This daycare came recommended from the Multiples support group in Murfreesboro. The center has kept multiples in the past so they have experience with that. I just can't believe they will be 12 weeks old on Tuesday, January 8. It is amazing how time flies by ...
The nurse came by the house to check on the babies this past friday, January 4. Their new weights: Micah - 14.9 lbs; Patrick - 11.12 lbs; and Kathleen - 11.10 lbs.
Micah Man says ... "I'm watching you."
Patrick says "I can't watch..."
Kathleen says ... "I'll watch for a little while but I'm really sleepy."
