Update

Cruz, Kash and Julie had their 4 year check up recently...and Trey had his 3 year check up.  My pediatricians office wouldn't let me schedule all four at the same time (which is SO LAME) since this visit was a little longer and included hearing, vision, and immunizations.  So I had to take two on one day, and two on the next day.  It was miserable.  You have to wait so long in the waiting room, then wait to be seen by the doctor, then have crying kiddos...and do it all again the next day.  I took Cruz and Kash the first day.  Cruz got his immunizations first and Kash watched the whole thing.  He was so upset that Cruz was crying from the shots.  He felt so bad for him and kept telling the nurse to stop.  And then after it was over he realized he was next and was hysterical.  Oh man.  I don't know what I was thinking!  I should have taken Kash out of the room for Cruz's shots, but I was solo...  Ugh.  I felt so bad for them.  And then the nurse forgot their flu shots, so she had to go back and get one more shot each.  Worst thing ever. 
While Cruz was getting his check up the Dr. was checking his tummy and back.  Then he pulled down his pants to look at his parts and bum to make sure everything was ok.  Cruz looks at me like, "What the heck is he doing?"  Kash was next and Cruz came and sat on my lap.  He looks at me and says, "Mommy, he looked at my pee pee."  I said, "I know, he was just making sure everything was ok." Cruz - "Is he going to look at Kash's pee pee?"  Me - "Yea."  Cruz - "So...can I look at his pee pee?" hahahahahahaha... I was dying!!   We had a talk later about private parts.  LOL.

This kid can be the happiest kid one minute and a little stinker the next.  His favorite color is green and favorite superhero is Superman.  He still LOVES his tan blanket and occasionally sucks his ring finger when he's tired.  He loves to hit his siblings...but then he's the first one to think of them and not want anyone to be left out.  He loves to read books and play trains.  He's turned into such a good swimmer this summer and hasn't worn floats since.  He says his best friend is Kash and mommy which melts my heart.  He prays for Kash every night when we say family prayer.  Whenever I leave he always asks for 5 hugs and 5 kisses before I go.  We just love this little dude.  #babyA

This kid has the most tender heart.  He still loves to cuddle and wants me to sit next to him all the time.  He notices when I wear a new dress and tells me how pretty it is.  He'll tell his siblings how much he loves them.  Whenever he does something wrong he always says sorry.  If I ever get mad at him he makes me say sorry too haha..  His favorite color is red and his favorite superhero is Batman.  He still LOVES his blue blanket and occasionally sucks his ring finger when he's tired.  He's a good little swimmer like his siblings and absolutely loves the water park.  He can be a stinker sometimes and loves to wrestle with his bothers.  We love you!  #babyB

This girl cracks me up.  She's turned into a little hoarder and keeps things in her closet.  Last night I found her backpack in there stuffed with two boxes of Oreos and a package of squeezable applesauce.    She loves when I read to her and won't let one night go without reminding me to say prayers and read our scriptures together.  This girl could live in her swimsuit and go swimming everyday.  She's amazing and can swim down to the bottom for toys and come back up on her own.  She rarely wears goggles at the pool but won't take them off when we are home.  She's a great mix of girly girl and tomboy.  She loves to have her toenails painted pink but would definitely pick Wonder Woman or Power Rangers over Cinderella.  She's my independent one and we all just love her.  #babyC

This kid is too much.  He seriously laughs and smiles all day with his occasional screaming tantrum.  He has the best dance moves.  Ever.  He has grown so much this past year and is learning a ton.  He is the epitome of a mama's boy and I kind of love it.  He is still OBSESSED with his blanket and won't go to sleep without sucking on it.  He's a pretty tough kid and can take a beating from his sibling.  He's getting a lot stronger now though and is starting to fight back.  His favorite toy is the marble run and could sit there for hours.  He's a little fish like his siblings and is floaty free!  He totally thinks he's a triplet and has to be doing whatever they are.  He says his best friend is Kash, but tomorrow it will probably be Cruz.  We adore this kid.  #singleton

Headed to church.
My sumo swaddled babies.
My favorite part of the day.
The NICU gave us a CD of pictures.  I found this one of Kash with his eyes crossed. Hilarious.  :)
The babies LOVE the Baby Bjorn.  I can vacuum, mop, do laundry - and hold a baby at the same time.  Love them! 
Brothers.
Kash wakes up 15 minutes early from his naps and just wants to be held (which I love).  It gives us a little one on one time...
Cruz
What would it be like to only have two babies??

Kash & Grandma

Kash somehow peed all over grandma and the floor on our walk. 
Haha...  I think she ate her brothers - and maybe even Tyson too. 

Two month check up.  Shots, shots and more shots.  So sad! 
Kash
Cruz
Julie
They were so worn out after their immunizations. 
Baby girl got her ears pierced (2 days before her 2 month bday).  I got mine pierced at 10 1/2 months. 

It was so sad too, but I figure it's like a circumcision - she'll thank me later.  :)
She cried for one second and stopped right when I could hold her close to me. 
Projectile vomit all over daddy.  Good times. 
My little peanut Kash.

Update - First Couple Days

Babies have been doing great.  The boys had NG tubes placed the first day - the feeding tube goes in their nose and to their stomachs so they can be fed little by little.  Julie first had an OG tube, but now has an NG tube like her brothers.  She was on CPAP for about 24 hours and now is on room air and doing well.  They pulled her umbilical art line out as well - 24 hours later.  
They started out getting 5ml of formula to see if their stomachs can tolerate it.  Cruz and Kash were fed the first day and Julie got fed a day later.  They all kept it down.  Everyday they increase their feedings little by little.  Jamie has been pumping for us (awesome) so they are now getting breast milk and formula.  They also get nutrition in their IV's.  They all have lost weight (which is normal in the first 7 days).  Cruz got down to 4lb. 4oz., Kash 4lb. 1oz., and Julie 4lb. 9oz.  
Cruz with his pacifier - 4.10.13

Kash - 4.10.13

And mine.
Julie - 4.10.13
Holding Julie for the first time (one day old).  I couldn't totally hold her until her umbilical arterial line came out.   


Daddy with Julie. 


Kash and Uncle Tyler.

Julie and Aunt Jamie.
I'm so grateful that the babies and Jamie are doing well!  The nursing staff at IMC are wonderful.  We are so incredibly blessed.

Update

Ok...I have been too busy lately to post anything, so this will be my update post...

...Valentine's Day...
Started off the day with a bouquet of roses from my wonderful husband :) Always the best way to start off the day! Then we went to a matinee movie (Valentine's Day). Curtis and I aren't really big on "nice" restaurants. Every time we go somewhere expensive we always end up being disappointed. We truly believe that chicken/steak from Texas Roadhouse tastes just as good as chicken/steak from Ruth's Chris. :) So we opted to go to Texas Roadhouse for dinner :) Later that night we went to Comedy Sportz. It was a lot of fun! Sometimes Comedy Sportz can be kind of lame...but this show was hilarious! :)


...Salt Lake City Marathon...
I signed up for a half marathon...along with my mom and sister! April 17th, 2010!!! I'm a bit nervous since I am totally NOT a runner...so we'll see how it goes :)


...School...
I just finished my 96 hour preceptorship at Mountain View Hospital ICU. It was an amazing experience! My nurses were awesome and taught me so much! Nursing is such a rewarding profession! The days are physically, emotionally, and mentally draining at times...but totally worth it in the end!

...Volleyball...
I just finished playing in the Spanish Fork league...and we won the championship game last week!! Curtis, Stephanie, and her 5 kids came to watch. I could hear them yelling for Auntie Kimmy in the stands...so cute! :)
