our first playdate :)

Happy birthday to my amazing friend and new mommy Darcie!!  Our babies were born 11 days apart, and it has been SO much fun sharing this new journey and the pregnancy with her!    It really helps to have another first timer that is also closeby and a close friend...thanks for all your constant love and encouragement Darc!  Love you!!



Kally and Londyn are already best friends :)

Everyone came over to our house to celebrate her bday since it's hard to get out with all these little ones, and the babies' "aunt" kel also came in town to see them all!  Such a fun night!



good thing we have 3 to go around :)



  

Londyn is always so calm & peaceful



Layton is quite the entertainer



 

 



Lancey is a little more shy



playtime :)

Now that they are closer to "normal" newborn size, the babies are not sleeping as much and instead ready to squirm around and "play"!  Here are a few quick pics of them:

Also, I forgot to upload their pics to mark one month, so here they are a few weeks late!  I'm going to take them with the same bears each month to see their progress!  Those bears have been with them since their incubators in the NICU (thanks aunty ray ray!) and are gradually looking smaller compared to these fast growing babes!!

Had to include a pic from the Paula Deen show this weekend...she was such a hoot!  We had a great time at the cooking expo trying all those yummy foods and seeing her!  It was like the Nutrcracker Market but mostly foods instead of decor/clothing....great day!

Wanted to say thanks SO MUCH to everyone who has brought dinners the past few weeks....I can't even tell you how much we appreciate it, and how much it helps during the busy evening times!  Plus the food has been AMAZING!  We are so lucky to have such awesome family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers!!  Love you all!!

Growing Babes!



Here's a preview of some pics our good friend Jordan did for fun!  I had ordered these adorable hats on Etsy to use with their newborn shots, but they didn't come in time :(  Being the awesome photog that he is, Jordan did a photoshoot with the trio (and a few of us) recently and is editing the rest!  Thanks man!!

Happy weekend!  Things around the LeVrier house are going great! 



our first walk when the weather was nice!!



  Babies are now a bit over 5 weeks old, and growing like crazy!!  We went to the Dr yesterday, and were happily surprised by their current weights!!   Each of them has almost DOUBLED their birth weights J   Londyn is over 6 pounds, Lance is 7 ½ , and Layton (my little munchie J) is over 8!!  He has even graduated out of some of his preemie clothes, but poor Londyn still doesn’t fit into some of hers hah!    It took them a bit, but they are finally starting to feel like newborns.

Other than that, not a whole lot to report….pretty much all we can do for now is Feed, change, move them around in different “stations” AKA the swings, infant seats, pack n’ plays, and cribs..... then start all over 2 hours later!   Oh yes…throw in the mix lots of laundry, baths, formula making, bottle cleaning, and diaper restocking!

Rarely do all 3 of them sleep for more than an hour at once…someone starts stirring or gets hungry, etc well before they are scheduled to eat, but over all they are Fabulous babies!   We don’t have much to compare them to, but our moms are constantly reminding us that everything we think are big issues are so minor compared to what some babies go through!

Speaking of moms….our entire families have been SO amazing!!  I never imagined that we’d be able to get out so often, but we’ve already gotten to do so much away from home!  There is never a lack of volunteers who want to come stay with them while we get out for a bit!   It was hilarious the first time we went to dinner…I think there were 7 people here literally just b/c they all wanted to!  Tim’s even been to a Texans’ game, and I’m going to the Paula Deen Show/ Cooking Expo event tomorrow, and we have lots more events to come that I never thought we’d get to go to!

Have a fabulous Friday….I know we will on our date tonight J  Narrowed it down to Maggiano’s or Carrabbas to start off.

I promise to blog again this weekend when I can find a minute!  Love you all!

Babies are One Month old!

WOW! I seriously cannot believe they have already been here a month!  Time has seriously flown by (as I'm sure you've noticed with my lack of blog posts...not a lot of free time!)

We have enjoyed every minute with them, but things are getting a lot busier quickly!  Now that they are staying awake more often, have better developed lungs (hence louder cries!) and are almost "normal" newborn size....things are crazy!

One of the best things about being home from the NICU is being able to have all the people that we love so much come see the babies!!  We are HUGELY blessed to live so close to lots of our family and friends, and they have all been so wonderful with Londyn, Layton, and Lance!

Here is a glimpse of some of our many visitors over the past few weeks! (there's rarely a day when we don't have someone stopping by, but we love it!)

Many of our sweet coworkers and neighbors have gotten to meet the trio when they brought by dinner, etc. So thankful for all those yummy meals during the crazy evening hours! Yall are amazing!!

Lots more pics to come later....for now I need to go feed these sleepy babies (again :))
