Pediatrician appointment, babies 1st real outing, and Beau's Preschool Graduation.

Look at that title.  It is huge!  A lot happened today for all my sweet boys.  It may have been a lot for them, but it was even more for me.  Needless to say, I am tuckered out for sure.  Plus, I came down with a viral infection a few days ago.  Anywho, on with this big day.

First, the babies had to go in to see their doctor.  They have been having some serious issues, and the doctor wanted to reevaluate  things and check them.  They were thinking that the babies could possibly have dysmotility, but thank the good Lord they didn't mention that.  What the doctor did say is that she thinks that the babies supplemental formula is causing them problems.  Along with their reflux medication.  So we switched medications.  They are now going to do the Prevacid solutabs.  Beau took this and did great with it.  Then she wanted us to try another formula. I do not necessarily agree with the formula she sent home with us, which was a lot, but she wanted us to try it before we went to the more expensive amino acid based formula.  She also said since they do so good with breast milk that I have the go ahead to start nursing all the time and just supplement when they still act hungry after a feeding.  So I am going to give it a whirl, and hope that I can keep up with their demand.  Currently I produce about 75% of what they need, and let me tell ya they are hosses.  Wyatt weighed 7.12 lbs, Brant 7.8, and get ready drum roll please, Luke at 8.2 pounds.  Umm yeah, they are past what the doctor expected when we visit her on their two month check up.  They love their milk to say the least.  This means that this momma has to start eating like a pig, literally.  

Then we headed back to Beau's school so I could watch his graduation.  I ended up taking the babies in, because I was running late as usual and Russ had a meeting to attend.  This late business all started when I went in to second trimester of the pregnancy with the triplets.  :/ Hoping I can get more organized, and with it.  Anywho, the babies did great, and Beau looked so surprised.  People probably think I'm anal with the babies, which I may be, but I just didn't want to get them out yet.  But, God is good and all is ok.  This was their official first big outing in the big world.  I can't think of a better place or celebration.  In God's house, and for their brother graduating from preschool.  I started to tear up when I saw how big my four year is now.  This year went by way too fast, and I feel like I didn't even get to enjoy it with him. :( He will e starting pre-k in August, and before I know it he will be grown.  Just love that boy so so much.  

Here is a pic of all four.  Beau is pretty proud.  



My current prayer, now that I feel like I can really try and focus on my prayer life, is that I am the mother God wants me to be for my boys.  I look at so much that I see I need to change, or how I need to be more like Christ, so that brings me to my prayer.  Parenting through Christ, and how He wants me to bring up my boys to be strong followers of HIM.  

Blessings!
