A Day in 'Quadville!'

So I CAN hold 'em two at a time!!

This is Grandma's 'Throne'.......even though my feet don't touch the floor and I have to keep myself propped in with one knee!

This pic is from earlier today when Amber was getting ready to go out on an afternoon date with Mike. As all mothers - we don't like hearing our babies cry when we are just about to leave them so when Trystan and Logan were both getting after it I decided to pick up the one crying the LOUDEST! Then I thought, "Why not BOTH?"

One of their little crib sling beds was right in front of me in case I needed to get up quickly. It worked! Amber could dress and even put on make up and do her hair in peace!

 Family friend, Carol, arrived to help and A&M were off to the movies!

They had a good time and I totally enjoyed visiting with my friend.

We fed, burped, changed diapers, did Tummy Time (even though when she and I had babies we put them on their tummy and never thought about it!) , folded baby clothes, washed bottles and then repeated the first three!

Amber and Mike had a great afternoon - and so did Carol and I - AND the quads!

I meant to feature Logan today but Trystan was the picture I ended up with!

This is her 'Plank Pose!'

She is in her little sling crib thingy....it is almost like a hammock and is to help with reflux. She was right in front of me and I looked over and there she was - stiff as a board and practically standing UP in it!!

(There is a REASON to buckle them in! I know......I know!!!)

Normally her head is down there about where that second brown polka dot is!

The quads have been given such sweet clothes and accessories!

What are baby accessories, you ask??

Matching burp cloths!

The quads have grown out of ALL the preemie sizes.

Even though it SAYS Preemie - the sizes vary a good bit!

They are just about to grow out of the newborn size and a couple of them are wearing 0-3 months!

I remember how tiny they were and when 0-3 month size looked HUGE to me!!

Since Trystan was the gatekeeper and down at the bottom of the bunch, we didn't get very many 'pictures' of her in the sonograms.

But this was one of my favorites!!

'POWER to the GATEKEEPER!'

And here she is now!

We call her our Little Owl because her eyes are usually wide open and she watches everything!

Well, that's it for today! I have to go home tomorrow to help Louis Dean.

We will be bringing our camper down Sunday.

I can't WAIT to see his face when HE sees these little ones for the first time since  they were born! He's seen pictures, of course, but they are so much cuter and sweeter and cuddlier in real life! I will be taking lots of pics of LD and the first time he holds FOUR precious bundles of joy! His hands and arms are large enough - I bet he can hold all four of them at the same time!!!
