GO KHLOE GO!! This little girl is strong!! She just rolled over 4 times in 5 minutes!! So Exciting!!
SO we are trying to get the babies to sleep in their cribs. Not a fun time in the Kidwiler house. The babies have been sleeping in their swings because they do not like the beds for some reason. (spoiled maybe?! My fault..oops) SO we went with this because when you have 3 babies, you do what you do to get sleep. Well now this has become a bad habit and Hunter is getting too big for the swing soon. So we thought we would start working on the Crib sleeping. OH My how hard this is. I feel like a bad bad mommy. I Have heard from many Triplet moms to do the "Cry it out" method. Where you go in after 5 minutes of crying to check on them, pat them on the belly, calm them, walk out..then wait 7 minutes, do the same, then 10 min. and do the same..then 15 minutes..and so on. I was told after 45 minutes they should be asleep. SO we tried this last night. HA 45 minutes..whatever!! They cried for one hour and 30 minutes. BUT FIRST I must say they did sleep from 10:30PM to 11:50PM. GO BABIES!! That was good. I was getting excited..then the storm hit. Oh my gosh it was so hard..I was upset in the hallway!! I tried to keep preoccupied, but that was hard to do. I even did an ab workout, washed dishes, folded clothes. THEN Matt got home at 12:30am..poor guy coming into a LOUD house after a long day at work. So then we tried to keep them going in the crib. Well at 1:30 we were feeding babies, and they were knocked out cold....in their swings. SO We try again tonight???? I will try!! Wish us luck and no tears!!!!

Emma's tooth
Emma is getting her first tooth!! We found it on January 4th. It's barely there, but it's causing her a little pain. I'm sure Hunter's is coming..he's been a grumpy guy lately.
The babies are doing wonderful!! I took Khloe to the Hip Doctor on Thursday and she had her 3rd normal ultrasound in a row!! Go Khloe!! :)
So this means we get to wear her hip harness for 12 hours at night while she sleeps, and she gets it off during the day. She's on Day 2 of no harness and is kicking her legs and having fun. It's very good that she kicks them. Some babies don't, and that would be a huge concern.
We had a wonderful first Christmas with the babies. What a beautiful memory. Christmas at both Grandma's homes. Thank God they live close and we didn't have to pack overnight bags because my Armada was FULL of baby toys, 2 diaper bags, travel bouncer, etc. It was insane. So thanks Moms for living 10 minutes away!! Yea!!
The babies are rolling around and getting so big. Hunter rolls over, and back and he's Almost sitting up. They are just a little behind since they are premies, but they will catch up. We have Physical Therapy coming on January 31st to help them sit up and do other things. They love sitting in the Baby Einstein play jumpers and rolling around in their play cars. We have a lot of fun.
I'm so thankful for my Mom, Matt's Mom & Dad, and my brother & Erin for helping us so much!! They all take turns coming over at night to help me bathe the babies and put them to bed. Without them, I would be a very tired Mommy. The babies sleep all night..most nights and we start our day around 7:30am or 8am. Usually it's 8am. Some nights they wake up and we put pacifiers in and they are fine, but occasionally we have wild nights. Thank God that's not to often. :)

Great news for Miss Khloe Marie!!
Khloe is doing so awesome!! We found out last night that she no longer needs her heart monitor on her!! What a wonderful Christmas present. Although all night I kept checking on her when she was sleeping because we are so used to having the monitor. She also had a great Hip ultrasound yesterday. Hopefully in 2 weeks we can start weaning her off her hip harness. She loves it when it's bath time and we take it off..she just kicks away. The doctor says that's great because some babies do not move their legs when it comes off. GO KHLOE!! One more Khloe highlight..she got the first tooth!! We found it last Thursday!! Explains all her fussyness last week. She's so cute..she keeps rubbing her tounge over it like "what is this"? Cutie!!
Hunter & Emma are doing wonderful. Hunter rolls all over the place..no crawling yet, but I know it's coming soon. Emma likes to roll to her sides but not all the way over. She rolled over one time a few weeks ago, and I guess she didn't care for it. She's a drama queen that's for sure.
They all got their second round of RSV shots, which will help prevent them from getting the common cold over the next few months. The common cold to us, could really hurt our babies and put them in the hosptial. So we will get this shot once a month, for 4 more months. Anything to keep them Healthy and safe. At their doctor's appointment they weighed the following:
Hunter: 17.2 lbs.
Emma: 14.9 lbs.
Khloe: 11.7 lbs.
Getting big fast!! :)
Tomorrow Matt and I are taking them to see my doctor who made this all possible and gave us our Miracles. We are also going to the NICU for a visit. :)

LONG Time without posting..starting new!
Okay so we have been pretty busy and I have not kept a blog. No worries though, we have been keeping up with milestone movements in the baby book!!
Guess I should start fresh! The babies were born on April 20, 2010. Hunter Matthew weighing 2.13oz, Emma Marie weighing 2.2lbs, and Khloe Marie weighing 1.11oz. I was put in the hosptial on a Friday before they were born due to cramping and heavy bleeding. They had me on steriods to prevent labor and pain medicine all weekend. On Monday we thought they may stay in me another week or so. Dr. Levin was wonderful and did everything she could to keep the babies from coming. However, on Tuesday morning little Khloe thought it was time to make her appearance and she broke my cerclage..and all of a sudden I'm in Labor. OUCH!!!! LOTS OF PAIN. Very scary!! Matt & I were so afraid because it was way too early. We knew we were in Good Hands though and just had to Trust God and pray. Out they came. Beautiful babies!! They were rushed to the NICU, with lots of worries on Khloe. She was so tiny and had a big fight. However, she faught so hard. Everyone reading this blog knows pretty much what we went through at the beginning of Khloe's life. She was life flighted on Day 3to the Med Center, Childrens Memorial..and faught so hard there. Her lungs were failing. After we baptised her, she was a true fighter!! She spent 3 weeks at that hospital. It was hard going back and forth from Hospital to hospital but you do what you have to do to see your babies!!
Emma & Hunter had small premie issues but nothing major. Hunter always forgot to breathe..well that is major!! But it was a male thing with premies. We spent every day with our babies. Tomica and the nurses there became family to us. They were wonderful and taught us how to care for our babies!! The NICU was hard but we were in good company. The nurses always made us laugh and we felt at home there. Hunter was always making everyone laugh. Emma was very calm there..and Khloe..well her NICU nickname is WILDCAT if that tells you anything!! :)
So Emma came home 78 days later, on June 15th. Oh my was I scared and watched her sleep all night as I slept on the Nursery floor!! What a beautiful little girl!!
Emma and I would pack up and go see Hunter & Khloe most days! :)
Hunter came home on June 25..he was a trip. He came home on a heart monitor. I actually liked it b/c I knew he was okay. It was our Safety blanket. So now we would all take trips up to the hosptial to see Miss Khloe. I knew she was in good hands with Tomica and the nurses, Matt would go daily up there..but I made it up there about 3 or 4 times a week with the babies.
Our family was complete at home on July 20, exactly 3 months to the day and Khloe came home!! She was only 4.10 oz.!! We were SO HAPPY!!!! All the work ahead didn't matter when you have all the babies home safely finally!! It was sad leaving the Nicu family..tears were shed..but I knew we would see them often. Khloe came home on a heart monitor and Oxygen. The oxygen was what worried me..making sure I had NO candles lit in the home, etc. But we got use to it.
So my next post will go into our awesome journey of having our babies home and all the fun we are having watching them grow. What true miracles God has blessed us with!!

Week 25 starts tomorrow!! Yeah!!
I have not posted in awhile!! I'm kinda a private person, and when I found out that I had a lot of people viewing our blog that I didn't know..or barely know, it felt weird. But now I realize that so many people care about us and our babies and just want to know how the babies are doing. Matt says our babies are famous..haha!! Not many people can say they are pregnant with triplets....and boy do I feel like I have triplets inside of me!! They are moving around and kicking me so much!! Baby B..the boy, is WILD!! He wakes me up in the middle of the night twisting and turning. I love it though, because then I know they are okay and getting big!!
Our week 24 ultrasound (huge mildstone) was last wednesday and it went great!! My mom and Matt's mom both went and got to see their grandbabies!! We were happy to hear that I didn't need to go to Hermann for hospital bedrest!! The babies are growing great. Baby B is 1 lb. 10oz (average), Baby C is 1 lb. 5 oz. (still average) and Baby A is 15 oz. It's so tiny and we watch her closely. She/he is staying strong. Still has low fluid in the placenta, but at least she/he has some and has grown. That ultrasound took 2.5 hours. I felt horrible the entire time, (passed out in the waiting room) ultrasounds are getting harder and harder!! We go to the doctor for my exam and to the high risk UT doctor for an ultrasound every wednesday!! Tomorrow we are 25 weeks!! Yeah!! We need to make it 5 more weeks. The average triplet pregnancy is 32 weeks! So I have been living in my bed and only getting up to go to the bathroom..whatever it takes to get the babies here safe.
Thank you God for getting us this far, and for our miracle babies!!!! :)

Happy Anniversary to us, 8 years!!
Wow, 8 years ago today we got married!! Yeah!!!! God has blessed us in so many ways, with 3 more beautiful blessings on the way!! We can't wait to start the next chapter in our life together!! I wish we could go out and celebrate, but we will once the babies are here. We have so much to celebrate already!!
22 weeks (and 4 days) doctors appointment went great yesterday!! All the babies have strong heartbeats, and Baby A is doing good, she had a little more fluid in her placenta, so that was good news. She's staying strong!! My exam went good to. And now of course today I am bleeding so much, so I'm worried. I'm pretty sure it's just the placenta previa, but I did call the doctor.
Next week is our big UT ultrasound, it will determine a lot of things that we have been concerned about, so the countdown begins for that appointment!!
Here is my 22 week belly!! Matt agrees that I am much bigger in person. Aww so sweet!! But so true!!
