Bikers for Babies!

My Father-in-law is raising money for this years Bikers for Babies Ride that takes place October 11, 2009 starting at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre. Will, Max and Levi are this year's ambassador's. Bikers for Babies raises money for the March of Dimes for premature babies and babies born with birth defects. Obviously this is close to home for us with Will, Max and Levi being born 7 weeks and 1 day premature and why they were chosen as this years ambassador's. If you would like to make a donation to the March of Dimes through my Father-in-law for this event we would appreciate it! You can give me money or write a check made out to March of Dimes and send it to me by October 1, 2009. Thanks for your interest.

This is part of the Bikes for Babies brochure, I know it didn't scan very big, but the pictures on the bottom are Will, Max and Levi.

Finally a chance to update the blog!

The boys are getting so big, it is hard to believe they are 12 weeks already. They have been doing pretty well through the night for the most part. Sometimes they'll even sleep for a 6 hour span! The Nutramigin formula has helped and today we are going back to the Gentlease formula so we will see what happens in the next few days. We have even moved up to the next size clothing and they are now in 0-3 months. Levi can still wear the Newborns, but then they won't all match, so he gets to wear 0-3 months too! Here are a few pictures that a friend took on 4th of July.

They are in order; Will, Max then Levi

Two month check-up!

So the boys had their two month check-up today. Will now weighs 7 lb. 14 oz., Max weighs 8 lb. 14 oz. and Levi weighs 6 lb. 12 oz. They are all growing and doing really well, except for their constant screaming. They are now on nutramigin formula, which is very expensive, but should work. They also had to get three shots a piece today. I hate that part, but they seemed to get over it quickly. We don't have to go back to the pediatrician until four months! My how the time is going by so quickly!

About to lose my sanity!

That's right, I am on the verge of losing my sanity! The boys, ALL of them, scream constantly. They eat and then like clockwork about an hour after they eat they start screaming until it is time to eat again. They only stop when they are held again my chest. They have horrible gas pains which is causing the screaming, but I just don't know what to do to help them. I cannot hold all three of them all the time. We started a new formula yesterday, but so far it's not helping. The gas drops don't help either. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the formula just takes a day or so to start helping. If not we go to the pediatrician on Monday and maybe we can try an even more specialized formula. At this point, I don't care the cost! Thank goodness my mother-in-law is babysitting this afternoon so we can go out on the river. I am looking forward to getting out and getting my composure back. Hopefully!!!

I also wanted to post the link to the photographer's blog that did our birth announcements. There are some pictures of the boys on her June 18th blog posting. She took some awesome pictures and we look forward to using her again in the future. She takes awesome wedding pictures also so check out her other postings too!

This is how I do it!

Everyone asks how I do it on my own, well here is a picture of it! Having three infants is not as hectic as I thought it would be, but then again wait until they are mobile! Ha-ha!


We also got them a new toy this past weekend and they love it.

Everything has been going well with the boys. They were able to meet a lot of new family and friends over the weekend which is always exciting. Will and Max have been spiting up a lot. By a lot, I mean like their entire bottle sometimes. We are trying a few teaspoons of rice in their formula right now, but it does not seem to be helping. When the pediatrician calls today we will see what the next step is. We may have to switch formula. Other than that they all seem happy. They have all smiled at me knowingly and I love it! Max loves for me to kiss on his chubby cheeks and when I kiss on Will and Levi's cheeks (yes Levi is getting cheeks!!!) they give me this look like"oh mom your embarrassing me"! But I am going to keep doing it anyway, it is my right as a mother!

A few cute pictures.

So all the boys have been home for about a week and a half and it has been great. I think they are settled in and are adjusted to their schedule. We went on a few outings this weekend which were fun. We took them to a family reunion and then Dale and I had a wedding to go to, so the boys had their first overnight trip at grandma and grandpa Weber's. Dale and I stayed also so we wouldn't have to drive after having a few drinks. They seemed to do well and I think they wore grandma and grandpa out! They are doing so well and getting so big already. We are having so much fun and feel so lucky!
