The Miles' Trio: 20 Weeks...

   Let's see - what has all happened this week... Gama and I got to have the girls all to ourselves for a couple days this week while dad (Travis) interviewed and house-hunted up in Omaha. Let's just say we were THRILLED to have him return home Wednesday night... 2 on 3 is exhausting - man-to-man works much better, especially in the evenings! However, we made it through and to be honest, it could have been worse. Especially after the Monday we had - for whatever reason the girls were 'off' and it was simply not a good day. Still - THANK YOU TRAVIS FOR ACTUALLY RETURNING HOME! ha! Now let's just hope he gets a 2nd interview from one of those companies...
   We've made great strides in the sleep category. In fact, Ryann slept until 7:50 this morning (went down in her crib about 9:30 last night) and yesterday (Friday) Hadley slept until 7:00 (also in bed around 9:15 or so). Ryann and Hadley kind of trade off as to who gets up the latest - with one or the other waking up around 5:00 or so. Brynley is our little stinker - she still usually wakes up around 3:00 or so, but it's getting better! She also eats the least amount of the three, so we're sure that has something to do with it as well. At any rate - we're all getting a bit more sleep these days and we're all that much more pleasant to be around (most of the time). I still get up twice a night to visit with Rita, but I can't really complain about that since it's by choice.
   The girls were given the okay to switch to infant formula - as opposed to the Neosure (22 cal for Preemies) they've been on. They adjusted really well, and this seems to move through their systems much better. No constipation issues these days - sorry if that's too much info, but poop is a major topic in this household! We went with Enfamil Infant formula per the recommendation of our doctor - so if any coupons come your way that you're not using, we'd be happy to take them off your hands! Even though they get about half breastmilk and half formula - we still go through a can/bag in about a day and a half! And yes - I have contacted Enfamil and they have sent us some extra coupons and a couple free cans!
   We're amazed to see what they learn from day-to-day... they're all grabbing clothes, burp clothes - anything they can get their mitts on! Ryann has a couple favorite toys that she'll hold onto and try to eat... drooling the entire time. These girls DESTROY burp cloths - Ryann goes through two every time she eats and the other two are getting almost as bad. Guess that's all part of the ball game. They all still love it outside - whether we're out for a walk or out on the back patio, it's usually quite calming.
   We've begun planning for our trip up to Rolla next weekend - our list keeps getting longer and longer... it will be quite an adventure, and as several people have told me - they can't wait to hear how it goes (this is usually with laughter in their voices). So, I suppose the next update will report exactly that! Happy Memorial Day weekend! The pictures below are some fun ones from the week.
