Busy, busy!

We took the triplets to their very first Cardinal game on Wed (6/18) and Alli's first game of the year. Jim was dreading it, but I wanted to try it out. We have 5 other family members in our group that promised to help hold all of the babies, plus all of our bleacher friends that we've come to know the past few seasons. The hardest part is getting out of the house. I (and Jim too) thought that it went really well. The babies were good and only cried when it was really, really loud, and that was because they were getting scared. And of course, my Alli was her angel self :) Thanks everyone for helping out. Now when Ann and Tim have their twins, we'll be back with all of them :)

Thursday (6/19) we had to take the babies for an eye appt. at Children's Hospital. Our pediatrician thought that two of them (we think the girls?) had a wandering eye. Well, all 3 of them have what they call pseudostrabismus and its really just a big word for saying, they look cross-eyed, but they are not. In infants the bridge of their nose is wide and they have small folds of skin on the nasal side of the eye that covers the 'white' of the eye. They usually grow out of it as they get older. Jimmy has astigmatism, but he said that is common and will probably grow out of it. We have a follow up appt in 9 mos.

Friday we took the girls to pick up their helmets. They look so cute! And they don't seem to mind them at all. They have to wear them 20-22 hrs a day and for 3-6 mos. They sweat a lot and we have to wash the helmets and their hair everyday. Jim went to Fairmont with his friends and Toni came over to hang out.

Saturday morning, Toni and I did the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. I've been doing it for the past 4 years now. Its so neat to see all of the people coming together for a good cause I love seeing all of the survivors in pink. Hopefully someday soon their will be a cure for breast cancer.
Later that day, I went to my 3rd baby shower for Ann...geesh! haha! This was thrown by Tim's family. It was fun and she got lots of good stuff. I think she is just about ready for the babies now. For more on her, you can visit www.timandannmeadows.blogspot.com.
