double therapy = 3 exhausted babies

The triplets had their first day of double therapy. PT joined OT and will continue going forward. Speech therapy will also start next week during the same time. This was Madi's first day of any type of therapy. She did really good but by the time PT was done and our OT therapist started she was exhausted.
They were here a total of 2 hours and 15 minutes. When they left, I feed them all at 12 and to sleep they went... until... 6 pm. WOW! We woke them up to feed them dinner and back to sleep they went. So crazy and to think Brody and Gracie will get speech too. But, it is all for the best. Brody has made HUGE progress with strengthening his core and Gracie with her neck. I know that two days every week the babies will be worn out. I will make sure not to schedule any afternoon appointments.
Speaking of appointments, I've really got to get back on schedule with all of the specialist. Its really been crazy around here lately.
We are still struggling with Brody's feeds. Since he is not gaining like he should, I've been working with our Nutritionist to increase Brody's calories but decrease the volume. So far so good. I will see on Friday if he is putting on weight.

Today the babies are 7.5 months old. The days go by so quickly. By the time I look up it is the weekend and we start another week. It really forces us to stop and realize what is important. It is not jobs, things, and money. My, my the things you learn when you have kids. Let me not get too crazy a great job, money, and things do make life much easier but there are far more important thing to this thing called life.

Love your God, family, and life. I'll update soon with pictures :)
