Mommy's Thots.....
I've been wondering and thinking .... ....now that I'm back to work for about a month... ... I still miss the babies quite a bit everyday, given a choice I would rather be home with them more than anything else. I long for weekdays to pass faster, so that the weekends arrive sooner. And when weekend comes I wish time pass slower so that I have more time with them. I guess every working mom will understand how I feel... ... =) but anyhow, 3 babies at a time, it's triple the joy.
People at work always ask me how I cope, I'll just say, you need all the help you can get, so thankfully, grandma(my mom) & 2 maids are around to look after them; (yes, I've got to hire 2 domestic helpers).Grandpa comes home early from work too everyday to help out... =) Me & Gene, we drop by to see the babies every Monday & Wednesday, we pick them up on Friday and come Sunday, we bring them back. So technically, Gene & I have Tuesday & Thursday nites to ourselves. It's a nice break for us to spend some couple time together, do the laundry, do some shopping, watch TV/DVDs...etc =)

2 of 3 Jabs
They went for their 2nd installment of their Jabs. First up was Jared. He didn't even show any signs of pain.. he was too distracted by the nice toys that Dr Tan had in the clinic. Next up was Jillian..as soon as the needle went in.... Waaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh...then Gong-Gong had to try and please her and brought her out for a short walk. Finally it was Joanne. The jab went in.... Cry Cry Cry...like for 3 seconds, then stopped. They may get fever.. they may not. The mommy took leave to stay by their side.... nonetheless.
Their personality is really showing... you can see who is the more "siao-jie" and who is the "I'm down with that..." Will try and post some recent pics.. as you have noticed.. they have more hair now!!
Love,
Mama & Dada

Triplets update... 2 of 3 (Jared & Joanne)
Just had to put it in the title.. to update those new the the blog
site.
Jared has started to learn to turn from his back to the front..
problem is that his arm is often stuck beneath his body so he tries and tries to
get it out till he gets angry with himself. Jillian is also showing signs of
trying to turn but not Joanne. The mommy think she maybe on the more advanced
side that she will skip turning and jump straight into crawling. Don't know how
that is gonna happen... will let you all know if it does. As usual, the weekend
with the babies has been great and a little chaotic when one of the maids are
not around when they go for their Off. I was telling friends that we need to
have n+1 if anyone is to have some breather space.. if not, very challenging.
Here's a pic of Jared and Joanne in the "cage".

Five months a coming...
The triplets are coming to 5 months now and they sure are growing up fast. Compare them to as when they first entered the world, you would never guess that were were delivered at 34 weeks. Leading the pack in-terms of weight is Jared followed by Joanne and Jillian. If you recall, Joanne was the heavier one with Jared as the lightest.. he has since caught up and overtook Joanne in the weight and size. With each passing month, the clothes that were given to them or on-loan are beginning to get lesser and lesser. Clothes for girls are still doing ok but for Jared, not so. So lucky for him, mommy is more than happy to go on a shopping spree.
We recently also got quite a few BabyGap clothes from Sharon's uncle over in Thailand. Apparently, he owns one of the factories that makes the Gap clothing so he got us some of them. hoooooooooooo!Here's a pic of the babies with my sister and Gevin.

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...

The Triplets 1st MTV!!!
Video updated!! This video has gone thru about 7 revisions on different video editors and it's finally redone again using Adobe Premiere Pro v2.0 (Eval). It's a little better than the native MS Movie Maker as it offers more encoding options. Other changes made was to the background sound and the storyboarding of the video. Enuff talk, here's the newly released video! Check it out!!!

A visit to the PD for their 6 in 1 jab (1st dose)
Jillian ..... waiting patiently, where's everyone, I thot we're going shopping....=)
This is Joanne, all dressed to go shopping.......
Jared fell asleep while waiting for his 2 Jie Jies to get dress..... sigh girls are so slow....or is it mommy..... kekekeke=)
The babies are 12 weeks old, they weigh about 5 kg now. Joanne is the tallest, followed by Jared & Jillian. They had their 6 in 1 jab yesterday... Baby Jillian cried the loudest..... Joanne & Jared were more brave, they only cried for a short spell. As Dr Tan has not seen them for a month, he says they all look different and they are growing very well... they don't look like premies anymore..... they are also developing well. Only Jared has alittle heart mur mur (maybe due to his rapid growth or there's a hole in the heart; I pray that it's due to his growth & not a hole in the heart)..... he is given iron supplements now, there's very little Dr Tan can do now for him, but wait & see if this condition persist till Jared's 6 months old... then his condition can be accessed. Hopefully, Jared will out grow this heart mur mur.......(dear frens, pray for him ok) other then that all of them are happy babies, feeding & sleeping well.... soon they'll be sitting up and turning...... can't wait =)
Some Baptism Photos........
Mervin, Debbie, Mommy & a crying Joanne...... =)
Grandma & Jillian......
Grandpa & Joanne.....
A group photo of Babies, Godparents, Grandparents, Mommy & Daddy......Like Gene mentioned, most of the photos are lost, and these are the only few good ones found in Grandpa's camera..... Grandpa had shakey hands (carry grandkids too much..... ;-)), most pictures were blur.....
Sorry Leonard & Celest, couldn't find a nice picture of you guys with Jillian..... all of them turned out blur......
Lucky we have a group photo..... =)
The Triplets got Baptised on Sunday!! (11 June 2006)
Yes.. they got their entry tickets into God's kingdom. :-)
Here's the breakdown on who is who's Godparents.
Jillian Sarah Aw
Godparents: Leonard and Celest Chong
Joanne Sophie Aw
Godparents: Mervin and Debbie Siow
Jared Samuel Aw
Godparent: George and Amelia (sorry... what's George surname again? heheh)
p/s Bold names are the Baptism names.
There was going to be a few pictures of the ceremony BUT my damn SD card got corrupted!!! aaarrrrgggghhhhh!!!!!! Will just get another one that is MORE reliable. Damn SDcard.
The mass started at 4pm and it was raining. (Blessings from Heaven!) The Chongs and the Siows were running late again (what's new? hehe) Good thing Celest came in time to pass Jared the Baptism gown..thx!!! The whole mass went on pretty well with the expectations of babies crying and all. This week in Church was also Holy Trinity Week which so happens to also be OLPS first infant baptism of Triplets! What a nice coincidence! *snaps* *snaps*
Will add more when i can now... with pics if I can.

Triplets with Dr Suresh Nair (Sharon's Gyne)
Today (Sat), we set off on a bold mission. To conquer Orchard Rd and do what no parent with triplets (not that I know of anyway).. Shopping and have lunch (together and at the same time). Alas, we tried and failed and only manage to get this great pic of the family with Dr Nair. All is not lost though. We did have lunch .... but not at the intended place... and we set off from home.. all tired.
Today's experience taught us NOT to plan. Net time, we just GO GO GO. Planning is for wimps! :-)

Joanne - She's awake too!
Yeah.. Jared and Joanne got up about the same time and I manage to capture them on "film".
Almost a week !!!
Short one today... It has been almost 7 days now since Sharon and the babies have moved back to stay with her parents. The family is coping with the changes and the babies are getting used to the different environment and childcare techniques. I would be heading in for my annual reservist soon (30/05 - 10/06) and I'm not too sure if I would be staying out.
