Four Crabby Patties, Please!!

Amber dresses the quads up every day and they are so cute!
She has been looking forward to the day when they could wear their little crabby outfits! She ordered them while she was in the hospital, I think.


The day arrived! All the quads went to the med center for some x rays and OF COURSE Amber dressed them up!


I love this pic I caught of the three girls holding on to each other.
God grant they do this their entire lives!


This picture is a bit deceiving. Harrison - on the right - LOOKS smaller but he is actually the biggest!! He is a whopping 7 lb 2 oz now! That was the birth weight of both Summer and Amber. Trystan is the smallest - but just barely. She is second from the left. She is still 5 lb and something but getting close to 6 lbs! They each are gaining about an ounce a day.

The inspiration for the 'Crabby Patties' came from our friend who has triplets.


You can check out her blog: The Donley Triplets!
She is a super organized mom with great artistic ability!
I totally admit to stealing her 'Crabby Patties, Please!'
Her triplets are a few months older than Amber's quads so we are reaping all the benefits of her experience!

Here the strollers are all lined up at the medical center waiting room.
The staff were prepared for quads - which is NOT always the case!
Last week when just THREE of the babies + mom, dad and grandma showed up they acted slightly offended because there were so MANY! Did they not read the charts? Did they not notice there were THREE Bells here for appointments? I mean - REALLY??!

THIS visit was very refreshing in the fact that they were prepared and had TWO examining rooms all ready for us plus TWO technicians.
The pediatrician visit last week was another excellent experience where the doctor and staff were prepared and experienced in caring for MULTIPLES!

We pretty much cause a commotion where ever we go......
although Amber avoids making eye contact with people for the most part.
It's best for the babies if they don't come into contact with too many people.
People = germs and their immune system is not up to par yet.


Amber and Mike are super parents and the whole trip proved to go as smooth as silk.

But you have to admit! Seeing THIS MANY strollers attracts attention!
It's so funny what people say........and they forget that we can HEAR them!!
