Home sweet (HECTIC) Home!!!

The babies are 2 months old today! They have all been home for over 2 weeks now and they are doing great….getting bigger every day.

We brought Ava Ann home on a Thursday, Ellie Lynn on Friday and William on Saturday. There are a few pictures of the girls in their car seats coming home. By the time William had his turn the whole coming home thing was completely uneventful, as a matter of fact I ran up to the hospital by myself in sweats with no makeup to get him and no pictures were taken…..poor William. Things do get a little crazy around here but I think all in all we are handling it nicely. We use 24-30 diapers and 24 bottles per day and I am pretty good at feeding 2 babies at one time.
Ava Ann runs the show around our house, she was the smallest and loudest when she was born and now as you can tell by the pictures she is the biggest....and still the loudest. Ellie Lynn is sweet and very patient, her easy going nature makes my life a bit easier. William is also pretty easy going but does need a little extra attention from mom on occasion since he is still so small.
That’s all for now, hope you enjoy the new pictures.

Schilling Triplet Update

Alot has happened over the past few weeks, so I will just do a quick update on a few key milestones...


First off, Stephen finally got to hold them:

Daddy with Ellie Lynn














Daddy with William



















They got their first baths:

Ellie Lynn was first & LOVED it!














William was next & didn't seem to mind too much until it was time to get him out & dressed.














Ava Ann was last & she did good too.














They recently tried their first bottle feeding also:

William



















Ellie Lynn














Ava Ann - This was her first time to take her entire feeding from the bottle!



















More to come soon!

They have arrived !

In the early morning hours of January 4, 2009, the Schilling triplets decided that they were ready to enter this world!
