We're 3 months old already - (technically)

I say technically because their "adjusted age" is only 7 weeks old but "real age" they are 13 weeks. Anyway, I've been going through the pics to look back at how the babies have grown already and I seriously cannot believe how big they have gotten. It is crazy to me to think back a few months ago about how I thought I'd never get out of the hospital and how sad I was about not being at home or working. I can't believe it has already been 3 months and I feel like I haven't done much except make bottles, pump, change diapers, laundry, try to exercise and keep my house reasonably clean. Don't get me wrong - those aren't bad things and I'm happy to do all of them. It's just crazy though to think how fast time goes by. When I was working, the days seemed so long sometimes and now I wish the days were longer.

Anyway, the babies are doing great as usual. Austin is in size 1 diapers now and into 0-3 month clothes already. The other two are following shortly behind too - already! I hope I'm not missing anything. Let me know if there is anything you wish you would have done when you're kids were little like this.
We've ventured out a little bit more on the warmer days and have taken them for walks outside too. I can't wait for it to be totally warm soon so we can do that everyday - I love being outside and I hope they will too! Going out is seriously a "side show" act and I just need to get used to it. We did have someone asks us how many babies we had as they were staring at our 3 car seats on the ground :) Seriously? So funny! I was hoping we could just "blend into the crowd" - not so much! O-well! That's our life and we love it!
Here are some comparison shots from their first week to their 13th! So BIG!

This is a pic we took just a few days after they were all home so they were about 3 weeks old or so and I did the same "set up" last night. Just a little different :) Sorry about the paci's - Rio and Jax wouldn't have it without them :)

  2. They are seriously so cute! I can't wait to see them again! I just love Austin's chubby little face! How handsome! I am glad you are able to get out of the house a little bit. It is so nice that you have that park within walking distance. That will be really nice - especially next year when they are bigger!

    Have I told you that I think you are amazing? Well, you ARE! Love ya!

  4. Okay, I just want to scoop them all up and hold them. I LOVE newborns, and yours are extra cute. You're doing such a good job getting them all fattened up and they are growing so well.

    I've just always loved you and Spencer and have watched you both all through middle school and high school and I am just so very happy for both of you. You've got a sweet little family and the Lord has blessed you with some sweet spirits.

    Isn't motherhood wonderful?? I'm with you, I need more hours in the day, they are just flying by. Enjoy this time with your little newborns, it is the stage that goes by the quickest. They are little pieces of heaven.
