The babies are little under the weather...

This was bound to happen sooner or later... I was hoping for much later.

Over the weekend, all of them caught the cough. The severity varies between them with Joanne coughing the most and Jared closely behind. Jillian is fairing much better but we fear that the cough might spread to her.. so we need to be extra careful when feeding them and to ensure that they do not share milk bottles and all.

All along, I was trying to avoid crowded places and if friends had children that were sick or recovering.. I tried to see if we could manage that as well. But as the saying goes.. not matter how prepared or how worried you are, they are bound to get sick one day.

Sharon was pretty worried as well so much so that she slept with the babies last nite before we took them to the PD today.

Some good news though, Jared was previously thought to have a slight heart murmur and if it was true, it could be bad as it would mean that there is a hole in his heart. After checks today at the clinic, we are glad to announce that all the babies are fine and we can finally get them covered in the insurance policies that we have bought them. ;-)

Hope the cough they are having is just a passing phase and that they recover quick. Pray for them.

Luv,
Mum & Dad

Back to work for Mommy...

Yup.. Sharon is back at work and we are trying out the arrangements that we've planned. In case you don't know.. here's how things work.

1. Babies are with Sharon's parents. (Thanks to them for helping)
2. The maids assist Sharon's mother with the day-to-day baby things.
3. We (Mom & Dad) go back to Sharon's parent's place to look at the babies and have dinner as well. (not everyday... )
    3a. Either I pick Sharon up at Suntec OR
    3b. Pick her up at Queensway MRT (whichever suits the situation that day)
4. We take the babies home every Friday and bring them back Sunday evening for sunset Mass.
5. Sat we bring the babies back to my parent's place for my parents to see the babies.

As you can see, the schedule is pretty tight and does not leave much room for anything else. Will see how long this arrangement goes before we have to make changes again... stay tuned. ;-)

Baby Updates....

Jillain, Joanne & Jared, will be 4 months old this weekend. How time flies.... =) especially when I have 3 babies to look after at one go. They're all growing well. They're approximately 6kgs. Joanne & Jared are catching up with Jillian, both are longer than her now. All have learnt to suck their tumbs quite well, especially Joanne, she can do it with both hands ....kekeke =)..... Their necks have also began to strengthen quite a bit. I think the next milestone will be for them to roll over and sit up.

We should be seeing Dr. Tan (their PD) in August for their next dose of 6 in 1 jab, by then they should be 5 months old. Hopefully, this time they won't get any fever.

Pray for all of us.

More Pics ..... coming soon....

Love, mommy.

Going back to work...........

I'll be going back to work in 3 weeks time. It was a difficult decision to make. I guess having had triplets, I didn't really have a choice, I have 3 mouths to feed, clothe & diaper. 3 times the medical bills, 3 times the innoculations. Initially, I thot with 3 of them i could justify giving up my career to look after them, not wanting to miss out on any of their developments, their 1st smile, 1st gurgling, 1st roll over, 1st crawl, 1st step etc.... many many 1sts, 2nds & 3rds...... with 3 of them, everything is triple times over. So in order to provide for them better and to save up as much as I can, I have to go back to work, until such time when they're a little older (maybe 2 or 3 years old), I'll consider staying at home to look after them. As for now, the grand-parents will be taking over.

I realised this is the most difficult decision to make. To leave my darlings at home with my parents on weekdays and only taking them home on weekends. I will miss them dearly, having spent so much time with them day in & day out. When I go back to work, weekends will be very precious. I think only working moms will understand how I feel.... =( I'm so reluctant to go back to work.......arh...arhhh...
