My birthday discovery

Yesterday I turned 35 and although my spirit doesn't feel 35, boy does my body! I feel it every time I get on the floor with the girls or carry them upstairs and my knees pop and send shooting pains down my shins but would I trade it all for a younger body - NO WAY! This is the body that gave me (all be it reluctantly) my 3 beautiful daughters! This is the body that my husband loves, cellulite and all! LOL It's mine - all the cracks and creaks and aches and pains - and it is 35!! Wahoo - sliding right on in to 40!!! ROFL!

We had a BBQ at mom and dad's house for my birthday and had a wonderful time! The girls are so big and love to be held and put on a show for everyone! It was lots of laughs and Awwws when they did something uber cute - which of course was every second! LOL Although, they had some stick competition with their cousins! I can't believe how big Stephen, Sawyer and Shae are - its crazy how fast time flies!

Finally... drum roll please..... Taylor has 2 TEETH!!!! I was holding her and she put my finger in her mouth and I felt them just a split second before she bit me!! ROFL! Little stinker!!!

All the cousins:


3 generations of Gordons:


Taylor loves her Auntie Shelly:


Leigha playing on the floor:


Shalyn and Kat:

Kat and Pee Pee Diaper

For some reason, whenever I say Pee Pee Diaper - Kat rolls! We were able to get her laughing on video last weekend. Pretty darn cute if I do say so myself! LOL

Visit with Great Great Aunt Josie

Last Friday, mom and I took the girls down to see my Great Aunt Josephine. She is 96 years old and the last of my grandmothers family. She was just tickled pink to meet them and kept saying how precious they were!
The girls were SO well behaved too! I was very proud of them!
Aunt Josie started talking about the old days while we were there and how if her kitchen table could talk - the stories it would tell! I love it when the older folks in our family start to tell stories - its just SO much fun!

Great Uncle Tony with Leigha, Great Aunt Jill with Kaitlyn and Great Great Aunt Josie with Taylor!

The developmental specialist...

The Developmental Specialist came today and evaluated the girls. She is VERY pleased with their progress and actually told us that they base their development on their adjusted age until they are 2 years old and based on their adjusted age, they are actually ahead in their development!! Wahoo!
That is SUCH a relief for us! I was starting to get a little concerned because they weren't doing what the others in their class are, but now that I know their development is based on their adjusted age - they ROCK!
So happy to hear that! They girls are just perfect in every way!

Happy 6 Month Birthday Baby Girls!

Yes - you read that right - 6 months! And no I cannot believe that they are already 6 months old! It is truly amazing how time is flying with them!
To update - they are all off of oxygen, the hole in Kat and Leigha's heart has closed, they are all starting to roll and will be crawling soon I am sure.
They smile, they laugh, they talk and they LOVE LOVE LOVE their daddy!

We are truly blessed!

We love you baby girls! You are our world!

A year ago today

Exactly one year ago today we were laying in the doctors office praying with all our might that our IVF would work - now look at us!
3 BEAUTIFUL perfectly wonderful daughters in an answer to that prayer!

Thank you God!

2 down, 1 to go

Leigha passed the O2 test with a 94%! Yippee! Only one left is little Tator tot and we're done with oxygen!
We are going to transition to the cribs this weekend so mommy and daddy can sleep in their bed! Wahoo! Wish us luck!
