Dear Bundles of Joy,
3 Months! Time is flying by! Oh Rushy boy... 😂
Adeline: 10lbs 6oz
Rush: 10lbs 9oz
Audrey: 10lbs 8oz
We are beginning to drop your middle of the night feed. Once you drop it, you'll be sleeping a good 8 hour chunk! We are so proud of all of you!
Love,
Mom and Dad
On this blog, I write letters to my future child(ren). While some might think that writing to a future child is illogical or crazy, I have found that through writing out my thoughts, I am able to cope with my infertility. It is also a great way to express my feelings regarding my faith in Jesus Christ and knowing that God is the ultimate creator and therefore everything is in His timing. It is a great way to keep a "journal" of sorts for my family and me.

Photoshoot
Dear Bundles of Joy,
Today was your first photoshoot. I was a little nervous at first, hoping that this investment would be worth it and the pictures would turn out cute... and let me just say that I am SO EXCITED to get these pictures back because they are sooooo cute!!! You guys obviously are adorable, but I was hoping that the photographer could capture it and I know she did... you guys were perfection!
The photographer was so good at handling you guys. When we got there you all started to cry because you were getting hungry. Once you guys were fed, you were ready and getting sleepy. The studio was warm- really warm in order to keep you guys comfortable while we were changing you and while you were naked for some of the pictures. I felt fine, but Dad said he was dying and sweating a little haha. The photographer was super talented in positioning you guys and keeping you sleepy/ calm. She would tap your fingers to soften them, had a loud white noise sound on, and had a portable heater if any of you seemed cold.
Adeline- You were out cold for the photoshoot. You did great.
Rush- You were out cold as well for most of it. Towards the end you were not having any of the posing in a suitcase. You also peed on the photographer haha. Don't worry, it wasn't the first time this happened to her and won't be the last.
Audrey- You were a little fussy at first which was so surprising. But, you quieted down and did well. However, you did pee on the assistants phone during the circle photo and might have broken her speaker... she ran and put it in rice so hopefully it dries out and is fine. She probably shouldn't have put her phone right by your bum on the bean bag though haha.
Here you guys are in "action" that Dad was able to capture. The first picture is us trying to keep you guys awake before the photoshoot so that you'd be sleepy for the whole time. You guys LOVED these bumbo loungers! We'll have to use them more!

Things to Remember
Dear Bundles of Joy,
You guys are 3 weeks old today! Wow, time has flown by! You guys are so cute! Dad and I can't take it. We wish we could hold you all day... but then you'd never go to sleep on your own haha. I love feeding you guys and looking into your eyes. You are all so beautiful.
Adeline- You have gotten sooo much better at sucking the bottle. You are starting to pick up the amount you eat and are sleeping well. You are so cute- when you are hungry you open your mouth real wide and shake your head from left to right very vigorously! It resembles a little birdie waiting for the mom to drop in a worm. Also, the faces you make after you eat make me laugh every time if I look for too long. Your eyes roll back and your mouth smirks. Such a cutie!
Rush- Funny story... the other day while I was changing your diaper, you peed! But, this pee didn't spray on me- it sprayed on the curtain behind you! This curtain was a good 2 feet or more away! It was so funny. Baba was in the room too and we were almost crying because we were laughing so hard. You had a good shot! We [especially Dad] was so proud haha.
Audrey- You are so patient. You almost never cry... and if you do, it's because you usually have a dirty diaper. Whenever I go in to get you for your feeding, you are sometimes awake and just looking around the room with your cute eyes. The other day I went in to get you and you were just there... not crying... shoving your hand in your mouth because you were so hungry! So sad... you didn't even cry when you were starving! You are so observant and [what seems like] a peacemaker. We love you!
We love you so much,
Mom and Dad

Grandma holding you for the first time
Dear Bundles of Joy,
Grandma was able to come over today and hold you for the first time! She was so excited! She will be coming over once a week to help feed you guys while Baba and I either run errands, take a nap, or just to have an extra set of hands for a feeding. You guys did great with her.

Dear Bundles of Joy,
Today was your first doctor's appointment! Dad and Baba was able to come to help- which was necessary since I was busy the whole time filling out paperwork! You guys did sooo well!!! You ate your bottles while we waited for the doctor. The doctor said that you guys all look great too. Your goal right now is just to eat and grow. :)

Mom and Dad

When we got home we gave you three baths for the first time at home. Rush, you just got wiped down with a washcloth since you're still healing from your circumcision. You seemed to like it. We love you guys!
Later at night, we were able to hold all 3 of you on our own! We were so excited and loved every minute of it.
Love,

First Night Home with all 3
Dear Bundles of Joy,
Adeline- You cried a couple times in the night last night. You were hungry.
Rush- You kept making grunting noises last night... I couldn't sleep knowing it could mean something. You did great though!
Audrey- You had a great night last night. You didn't even cry! You ate your food and slept well. However, none of us slept since
Dad and I both got some snuggle time with all of you today. I'm wearing a mask since I've started coughing the last day or so and don't want to change getting you sick. Dad is so excited to be home and spend it with you guys. We are so blessed that you guys are doing so well!
Love,
Mom and Dad
