What a Week

Its been an interesting, busy, and tiring week!

Last Saturday, Griffin came down with a terrible flu and couldn't keep anything down.  Then on the Sunday, Fletcher and Gibsyn both got their first tooth.  And on Monday, I took Fletcher to a walk-in clinic because he was very wheezey.  The girls were also sick, but I always worry when it comes to Fletcher's breathing.  Turns out I had reason to worry, as they admitted him to the hospital right away.  He and I spent the night there and he seemed a lot better the next day so the doctor let us go home on pass for the night.  When we returned Wednesday morning his chest sounded a lot better so we were officially discharged.  He has to use a nebulizer 4 times a day for two weeks, but I'm so happy that we are able to do that at home and it has really helped him breath easier.  The hospital brought back bad memories for both of us and I was so torn since Griffin was still getting over the flu and I really wanted to take care of him as well.  Thankfully my mom and Troy took very good care of him and the girls!
Wednesday was also the babies 9 month mark.  They are currently weighing in at 19.5lbs for Fletcher, 17.5lbs for Gibsyn, and 16.5lbs for Sunny.  None of them are crawling yet, but I have a feeling somebody will soon!
Also Wednesday was Griffin's first non-parented swimming lesson.  He was a little nervous but put on a brave face and did pretty good - it'll be interesting to see what he thinks this week!

Here are a couple pictures from the week... they're pretty random, but I'm tired and I just can't do any better right now ;)

A good look at the size difference between Sunny and Fletcher!

Sippy cup time!

One night Troy and I stopped running around for a moment and looked around our house... we shared a good laugh and took a quick photo of the chaos we are living in. Hahaha... we did clean up after but I thought it was a good reflection of this past week.

Soothers

The babies are already starting to fight over toys and one of the most coveted items seems to be the soother... not the soother that belongs to them, but the soother attached to the baby beside them! 

Water Run

This past Saturday we had a great time completing the 3km walk/run to help raise money to bring water to people in Kenya.  I really hadn't expected to be able to raise a whole lot of pledges since I don't have much time to go collecting... but thanks mostly to this blog I suspect, I was able to hand-in $700!  Thank you so much everyone who donated: Auntie Carolyn, Auntie Shirley, Auntie Deanna, mom & dad, Mila, Natalie, Pam, Nathan, Linda, Tara, Jade, Donna, Deb, Krista, and Troy!  You guys are all awesome!  My friend Mallory, who has 5 month old triplets, asked me to join her for this... her dad is actually going to Kenya this week to drill more wells and bring food to the people there.  It was so nice to know exactly who and what was going to happen with all the money raised - just under $50,000 total!  Here's a shot of Mallory and her kiddos along with myself and my kids!  It rained for two days before the race and then that day it was gorgeous out...
