2 months old!

It's hard to believe but the triplets are already 2 months old! The last 5 weeks have gone by in an absolute blur of diaper changing and feedings. At their 2 month checkup today, we learned that mom and dad have been doing a great job of getting these babies growing. Mason is weighing in at 9 lbs 5 oz and is now 20.5" long. Dylan is weighing in at 7 lbs 13 oz and is 20 inches long. Madelynn is proving that she does not want to be left behind and is now weighing in at 5 lbs 10 oz and is 18 inches long. We are also happy to announce that she no longer fits in any of her preemie outfits that we had gotten for her. Her toes reach all the way to the bottom of the feet and they are getting a little snug.
Also at their appointment today they had to get their 2 month shots. All the babies did ok, but it was hard to tell who cried harder, them or mom. Even though it's for the best and to keep them healthy, it is definitely hard to see them in pain. Maddy is feeling feverish and has pain in her legs from the shots, so Grandma Bonnie and mom are doing a lot of rocking of her. Dylan is hurting in his legs too, so a lot of extra love and snuggling from dad has been helping him. Mason seems to be doing ok with the shots, but we are still giving him extra snuggles too.
The babies are still on the schedule of eating every 3 hours, which makes the days and time go by so fast. It feels like just as soon as you are done, you have an hour and a half break, and then you are back at it again. It has us asking all the time, didn't we just do this?
We are still getting meals from family and friends, which we appreciate more than anything. Mom and dad really enjoy getting a warm meal to help give them some time to enjoy each other between feedings.
Here are some pictures from the last couple of weeks, we hope you enjoy them :)
Love,
