Can you believe that Noah, Kayla and Evan are 24 weeks! Just to think that it was just over a year ago that we announced the exciting news that we were pregnant with not just one baby, but three! Its been an amazing year so far and just to think how far we've come after month's of fertility treatment. Thinking back on those busy mornings of going for scans to see how we were progressing, blood tests and all the procedures involved with in-vitro. If there's anybody else out there whose been through what we went through, you'll know the amazing feeling when everything works out.
The babies have been doing well otherwise. I started their solids again with rice/maize cereal in the morning and a portion of veggies in the evenings. I've decided to alternate giving them fresh veggies and purity. Evan for some reason seems to have gotten an allergic reaction and I'm not really too sure if its from the purity or the rice cereal? I've bought "gluten free" cereals which should give low allergic reactions, so the only thing that I can't think of is the purity together with all the preservatives that's in the making. So I've opted for fresh veggies! They've already had butternut and carrots - next up, gem squash! Will see how that goes during the week.
Its such an overwhelming experience seeing our babies progress and how strong they're getting day by day. It was just the other day that Evan struggled to lift his head when it was tummy time, but now he's able to do it without any hassles. Kayla is managing to lift herself up now and Noah is getting to that too. Their hands have been really busy, touching and pulling anything their hands can get hold of. Kayla has developed this new thing of grabbing her spoon during feed time too! It was quite cool watching Noah hold a toy rattle on his own too! Kayla and Noah are definitely happy and content babies - they've started laughing now and you just want to continue making them laugh because its so cute! We're just waiting for Evan to make his laughter debut!
Noah's developed this new sleeping routine - when his really tired and at the stage of crying and moaning (like when babies are overtired), the only thing that makes him quiet and fall asleep is to play music! Mary, one of our day nannies, started this and its been working so far, although it seems that its just not any music, its Ronan Keating's "Tomorrow will never come"! I've tried the likes of Chris Brown, to Mary J Blige, Michael Buble even Baby Mozart, but they're only temporary relievers! Ronan is the man!
