5 Months ago today you were born

It's like I blinked and my premature little babies aren't those tiny little newborns anymore. Some days I wish I could have those first two months back since they were such a blur but then I think how tough it was and change my mind. Each day is very busy and somewhat difficult with four kids but I wouldn't change it for the world. Along with the struggles, these babies bring so much joy and happiness to our family. A little over a year ago I thought one child would be all I would ever have and look at me now!! I have four BEAUTIFUL and HEALTHY children. Ben and I are so blessed. During the trying times, I try to remind myself how lucky we really are. Emily is still a great big sister and her siblings are loving her to death. Emily sings and dances for them and their eyes just light up. They are all going to be the best of friends... so cool!!!

Benjamin

The first born of the triplets, Mr. Benjamin Michael. He is named after the most important men in our life.. his daddy and his dad's dad (Benjamin) and my dad (Michael). He is such a sweet sweet boy and is already very attached to his mommy. He enjoys bouncing around in his exersaucer, rolling from stomach to back and eating! Man that boy loves to eat. We all predict he is going to be a linebacker as fast as he is growing. I won't say out loud what college team his daddy and Poppy want him to play for.

Leah

The second triplet born, Miss Leah Claire. Named after Ben's fun and feisty grandmother, Clara. Leah is such a good baby. She can roll both ways and we predict she will be the first to crawl. Leah sleeps and eats great and is just an extremely laid back little girl (unless she is hungry or has a dirty diaper). Who knows how long she would sleep in the mornings if we let her.

Sara

Our last triplet born but definitely not least, Miss Sara Vivian. Sara is named after two beautiful and strong women... my dad's mom (Sara) and my mom's mom (Vivian). Sara loves to cuddle but isn't a huge fan of sleep. I don't know where she gets her energy. She can roll from her stomach to back and has just about mastered going from her back to her stomach. Sara is the smiliest baby out of the three but also is probably the one that cries the most too.
