Wed Feb 11:
good grades: NICU follow up, everyone is doing well
hysterical: H is laying on her back, E crawls up to her and puts one hand flat on H's chest, the other quickly goes to H's face. I look at E and say "no", she is squeezing E's cheek and near her eye. I get up from feeding N and plan to remove E's hand when I see that H is smiling! Then E propels herself over H and dives over her body. no crying, no screaming!
Tues Feb 17:
generational girls night: dinner with Grammy, Mom, sister and nieces
adorable: nieces were dancing ALL night to Cinderella
yummy: burgers and fries
Thurs Feb 19:
always happy to see: my sister and her family
bonus: my little niece E decided to stay when her mommy had to leave
we did what?: Auntie HAHA and niece E baked cookies
Fri Feb 20:
always happy to see: Julie Ann, who shopped at Kosher Jewel for us, brought Chipotle for lunch, and spent the day hanging out with me and helping with the babies
funniest moment ever: an older Indian woman came for a babysitting interview, I introduced her to each baby in separate conversations, so she could hear each name several times before learning a new one. I know the Hebrew names are challenging for English speakers, and I guessed they would also be for native Hindi speakers. Later, baby H was wiggling her tushy. I looked at her and said "what a cute tushy, I love my little tushy!". The woman responded "So, this one is Tushy?".
biggest laugh ever: some one I know called me as she was driving home and her mother-in-law was there waiting for a weekend visit. she interuppted the conversation to tell me "I just pulled over so I don't have to go home yet"
mitzvah maker of the day: Diane, for making a delicious Shabbat dinner for us
Mon Feb 23:
model day: the girls earned their first pay check today, by modeling for a nipple cream ad, lol. the concept was that the mom (so young and thin) was so relieved she could carry both twins in a carrier after her severely cracked nipples finally healed. all were clothed.
fair play: every one got her turn, H & N posed for the "twin" shots, then E took over for shots of "mom" and just one baby
Saba would be happy: if he would ever recognize that the tops the girls were wearing were a gift from him
Shehechayanu: first time ever these girls wore jeans!
thank God for: Sara
Tues Feb 24:
ahhhhhhh: first date night in a month, delicious toasty dinner at Kaze, fantastic sushi, delicious dessert, handsome date
Wed Feb 25:
rabbi cousin: newly ordained cousin Jordy came to visit and meet the trio for the first time, we're happy that he and his family are living nearby now even if his rabbi schedule and our triplet hibernation mean that we rarely get to get together
Yes I did: didn't think I'd make it but I completed 15 minutes on the stationary cycle at PT
Thurs Feb 26:
circle time: everyone can sit now, even H is sitting straight up all by herself! today we sat in a circle and shared a bowl of homemade pureed apples, yummy
tooth time: E cut her first tooth today, H is already ahead of her, poor N has been miserable teething but has nothing to show for it yet
balls: today we added another colorful plastic toy to the mix, Polar Bear sit-to-crawl, Hanukah gift from Neil & Stacey, 4 balls to chase now in addition to the 3 babes
big sister: loves the baby toys more than the babies do

today's list
I'm a good s-mom: in order to teach big H about the importance of standing up for what we believe and standing with Israel, I shlepped all four girls out last night, all by myself
too cute: the bright patterned fleece hoodies and coordinating pants and onesies that the babies wore for their rare night out
helper of the day-last night: Laura for "being available to help if we need it" - and for actually helping out
wordsmith of the day: big H for differentiating Laura's role, H was not ok with having another helper, but was ok with having Laura help only if we need it
proud mama: big H really did pay attention, as she sat with her girls
applied lesson from some book about parenting an older child with baby triplets: I let the babies cry (and scream) while getting Haley ready for bed and all tucked in, as the book says, she will remember it and they won't
surprise smile: I just love that I get emails from President-elect Barack Obama and they are signed "Barack"
better late than spoiled: I finally made the 2 dishes intended for New Years
yummy: hot spinach artichoke dip & chilled sun-dried tomato basil loaf
helper of the day- today: Julie Ann, who emailed to see if she could shop for us at Kosher Jewel and Target, saving us from some frozen delight for dinner
always the best: Erev Shabbat
Shabbat Shalom u'mevorach!

baby yoga
watch out world: baby E is on the move!
record of longest time in cobra: baby E
tonight's up-level: baby E moved from cobra to plank (full push up position)
another favorite: baby E does bridge and almost goes up to wheel on her head
with a twist: she also tried pushing back onto her knees
half-cobra: baby H's latest
happy baby: baby N's all time favorite, grabbing her feet
on the move: baby H rolls from tummy to back again and again, baby N rolls and turns all over the place, baby E rolls and rolls and rolled 8 feet across the room to reach her mother :)
back to the basics: I did some side stretches today, only thanks to my visit to chiropractor Mike who got me a little un-stuck
new mommy yoga: laundrasana, mixbottlasana, changediapasana, fallonsofasana
product of the day: our 2x2 interlocking softtiles foam floor tiles, a huge 5/8 inch thick yoga mat!
without softiles: baby E would have a bruised head from those quick rolls
something nice for me: a pedicure
bonus: the owner of the salon is going to hook me up with a good Indian woman who will help with babies for low hourly rate, let's hope
pet names for my girls: H - pretty girl, my mush, yummy girl. E- my little jumping bean, smiley girl. N- happy baby, blueberry eyes.
