Okay, I so had to post today to share Emma's pictures today. Gosh, she's getting so big now and her pictures she brought home are just beautiful (i know i'm biased).

Check them out....

Wow, I think this is the longest I've ever gone between blog postings.... Can ya tell i've been abit busy lol. Things have been going really well, but man do the days seem to pass by quickly with 3 young ones home all day:) Gerry's been working on the basement, taking down a wall and switching around his pool table around, so we can make the best use of the living space.

We ordered a 3-piece leather set a few weeks ago, and with Gerry's pool table the other way, we plan on bringing our upstairs livingroom furniture downstairs, so the other half of that area can be used as a livingroom and tv area. The rest of the area will be play area for the kids. I'll have to post some pics next post (I haven't taken them yet) and then it'll make more sense. It's amazing how much bigger it looks downstairs with wall down from where the playroom use to be.

Connor is doing well!! Abby and Erica have been fighting colds and it's made Abby super whiney!! Ughh do we ever look forward to her naptime when she's like this lol. Erica just keeps on trucking along. Emma's been Emma, playing, doing her thing and holding Connor lots.

I finally sorted through all of Connor's clothes tonight. I didn't realize just how much I have for him...guess I hit more sales then I realized, as everything was still in bags with tags, just incase he came out a girl. Wow, I think I have enough clothes for triplets up until 24 months at this point. My good friends Jen and Kerry gave me tonnes of clothes as well, gotta love that.

Well, better get to bed before Connor wakes up for a feeding. I'll try to keep up on my posting.

It's hard to believe one week ago today Connor was born. Things have gone pretty smoothly so far. Unless Connor is hungry, he doesn't seem to fuss much, even when he has poopy pants. If we didn't keep checking we'd never know. He wakes up 2x at night to eat and goes right back to sleep, let's keep our fingers crossed that things stay this way:)

Emma is really enjoying having a little brother and loves picking him up and holding him. Abby and Erica think he's pretty neat too, but we've gotta make sure their not rough or clumsy around him so we are always with him.

Here's some cute pics

Connor Is Here!!

Well, it's official!!! Connor was born yesterday at 8:15am. He is 20 inches long and weighs 7lbs 13oz, on 3oz bigger then his biggest sister Emma. He has blond hair and a fair complexion, just like Erica. Actually he reminds me alot of Erica, just bigger.

My c-section was amazing well! Gosh, it's amazing how much better things go when it's planned out opposed to my emergency c-section last time. The nurse agreed to do the cathedar after the spinal (not like last time) and they did the spinal on the first shot (last time 5 tries yikes). It's been great being able to have Connor right with me in my room. Luckily after a few hours a private room was available so we've got lots of peace and quiet.

Well, here's some pics of our little man.

It's been an interesting weekend. Gerry's family arrived at about 1:30am Saturday morning and I started having back labor at 4am....I really thought I was going to have Connor yesterday, but it was false labor and stopped at 11:30am. It started up again last night, and is on and off today, but i'm thinking i'll stay put for tomorrow's 8am scheduled section. It's not intense, just abit annoying.

I can't believe in about 15 hours i'll be able to hold Connor. It's so different knowing when he's coming. I can't wait as my stomach is so full and there's alot of pressure, it'll feel so good to meet him and have my body back:)

We took the kids to Funworx yesterday to keep busy, here's some pics from the day.

Okay, i'm going to be exhausted by Monday, if I don't get a good nights sleep before Monday. I've been awake today since 4am....I tried to go back to sleep, even got up and had some oatmeal, thinking I was abit hungry. Instead, i'm lying there in bed thinking about what i've packed in my hospital bag...have I forgotten anything? should I put one more nightie in??? Do I have enough sleepers for Connor? what if I end up staying longer?? Will breastfeeding working this time??? ....poor Connor's going to have a crazy mamma by the time he gets here. I didn't even get a nap in yesterday, so it can't be that. I'm just doing some serious nesting and it's driving me nuts. I need my brain to shut down so i'll be well rested for Monday.

Gerry decided to do some re-organizing in the basement last night (men's nesting I guess) and while moving the deep freezer, he broke something off the water heater and water started going everywhere. He ended up draining it and now we have to wait for someone to come today to fix it, in the meantime we have no water....just what I needed at this point. Thank-god my sister lives next door, i'll have to pop over there for a shower after they wake up.

I made it out of the house today!!

I decided I couldn't sit around the house again today, so off to a playgroup we went. I think we all needed to get out as the girls we're quite happy there and I felt better getting out and passing some time. I'm anxious to get this week done, knowing Gerry is starting parental leave after Friday and Connor is coming Monday.

I had my last OB appt. and have to go to pre-register at the hospital Thursday for my c-section Monday. It's hard to believe, this time next week, Connor will be 2 days old:)

Well, here's some cute pics from this morning.

Well today was an interesting day....I had my Non-Stress Test this morning and i'm happy to say Connor is doing well. I had abit of a breakdown during my appointment though, after eating a chocolate chip muffin, having some coffee and a gingerale, Connor wasn't moving around. It really freaked me out and I started to panic and cry.....oh the poor nurse must of wondered what had happened to me in the few minutes she left me alone haha. I was shifted onto my side and then finally Connor started moving around and had good peaks on the chart. I just kept thinking "oh no, here we go again" I'm going to have another sick baby like Erica and thought of going through all that over again was just very overwhelming.

I relaxed the rest of the day and then we went to Chris and Christie's for dinner. I was mentally drained, but it ended up being good getting out of the house and we had alot of good laughs.

Potty Time

I was in Walmart today looking for a new Caillou video and I came across "Elmo's Potty Time". I thought hmmm...I wasn't planning on training them right yet, but I'm sure it won't hurt to play the video, after all Erica likes to copy so much.

Then I thought well maybe I should pick up a potty, just incase either one wants to try or check it out. Ya, I now know why everyone on my "raising multiples" message board says to get two potties!! They were fighting over it like you wouldn't believe, trying to pull/drag each other off, just losing it. I ended up putting the potty video away and putting the potty back in the box until I can get another one this weekend.

Here's some pics from our not so calm/peaceful potty introduction. Things started off okay
Erica tries to kick Abby Off The Potty
Hmm i'll try grabbing instead
aghhh got it, it's mine...
Okay, maybe not...time for mommy to step-in!
