First Baby Shower Post Infertility

So today I attended my first baby shower for a friend since having the girls. I have to thank God for the lightness in my heart today and not feeling the dread that I normally felt at those types of functions for so many years.

Infertility affects so many aspects of your life and bleeds into every area whether you try to keep it separate or not - it was nice today to be able to enjoy myself and be thankful for the 3 beautiful blessings that we've been given.

Thank you, God, for my 3 little girls!

Holy Crap I hate the weather changes

Does anyone else's children go completely BERZERK when the weather changes??? Man alive! The girls have been SO cranky today!! Everyone tells me its from the weather but it's driving me nuts! I'm gonna have to move someplace that doesnt have funky weather like CO! LOL

Happy Thanksgiving!

We have a lot to be thankful for this year for sure. I always tend to get a bit sentimental and thoughtful around this time of year and reflect on the year we've had and the blessings we've been given.
While this year has been hard learning how to take care of 3 babies at one time, it's been a good hard. I wouldn't change my life for the world - although sometimes I would trade one of them for a good nights sleep! Ha! Just kidding - not a chance!
As most peple do this time of year, The Florian Clan would like to wish everyone a WONDERUFL and BLESSED Thanksgiving and Christmas season!
As we are spending times with our loved ones, I ask that you keep the Lawrence, Patterson, and Wilkinson/Pautzke family in your prayers.... friends who have sufferred losses this year and have continued to push on and make it through. While the Wilkinson/Pautzke sufferred a horrible loss just weeks ago, they welcomed a perfect little man into the world yesterday! Welcome and Happy Birthday little Connor Gene!
God Bless you all!

My favorite quote: ~ Only Blessings, Never Losses~ It's not what you gather but rather scatter that tells the kind of life you've lived.

Happy Halloween!




The girls first Halloween was a blast! Leigha was a pumpkin, Taylor was a flower, and Kaitlyn was a pink cat. They were SO cute! We took them to the mall with their cousins and Grammy.



Stephen was Michael Jackson, Sawyer was an Army guy, and Shalyn was Princess Belle. They were all very adorable!

Sitting up and other news

Well, lets see - we're 9 months old now! WOW! I think every mom says "where has the time gone?" but seriously??? Where has the time gone?
This time last year I was on bed rest at home and in just 3 weeks will mark my admission into the hospital for 3 months. Crazy to think that almost an entire year has passed since then!

We had our well-baby appointment yesterday and the girls are all doing wonderful! They are all within the scale as far as height and Kat and Leigha are with their weights. Taylor is still just right under the scale - but she's still doing awesome!

Kaitlyn is 16lbs 11oz
Leigha is 15lbs 150z
Taylor is 14lbs 8.8oz

They are so big compared to just a couple months ago!

All of the girls are sitting up, not well, but sitting none the less. Leigha is starting to crawl a bit. Kaitlyn would much rather play on her back and talk to the ceiling! LOL Taylor can push herself up and is trying to get her legs under her, but none of them have quite figured it out yet.

Yesterday at school, Kat was waving a toy around and smacked Taylor in the head with it -so now we're sporting a big ol' bruise and bump! LOL

Shalyn has given them several Elmo toys that they love. The most recent is a ball that when you push one side it has Elmos voice and the other side is cookie monster. Chris showed Taylor one time that you had to hit the button on the mouth and now she trys to smack it - she is SO smart! Oh and don't let one of them get the Elmo see and say from the other because they will roll over and lay on it so whoever had it first can't get it back! ROFL! Sibling rivalry already begins! LOL

We wish you all a very happy Halloween and can't wait to show off the pictures in our costumes! Stay tuned!!
