The boys are excited for Halloween
Things are getting a little spooky around the Burt household. These are just onsies and not their actual costumes!! Aubry made sure that I told you that. Heaven forbid they only have one costume, the 3peat actually has a few costumes. We took them out last night to the neighborhood trunk and treat and they were lil peas (3 peas in a pod). We also have little Horse, Cow and Dog costumes that are pretty cute too. Good thing for 3 sets of grandparents and a few Halloween parties they will get to wear all of them. Happy Halloween to everybody.
Quick update on Aubry
Well the recovery for Aubry has been really rough. At times we joked around that the boys were doing better than she was. This week she had her 6 week check-up and we got some scary news. Aubs has had some serious pain and major cramping and all the other fun stuff with being a girl. The doctors discovered through an ultra sound that there were pieces of the placenta still inside Aubry from the delivery. They gave us a worst case scenario and said it looked like we might have to do an emergency hysterectomy. We were a little worried. The next day we met together with the doctor who would be performing the procedure and she set our minds at ease and told us that she felt pretty confident a simple Dilation and Curettage (DandC) would be all we need to remove the remaining placenta fragments and be all right. Well they set the appointment for the next morning Friday October 24th and we were there. The hospital was hopping at 6:00 a.m. when we got there and they got her all ready and they went to town. It took about an hour in surgery and was a total success. We got to come home later that afternoon and she has been feeling a lot better since then.

Holy Cow!!! One month old today!
Well it is official, the 3peat is 1 month old today. And as fitting as it can be it just happened to be time to go back to the doctors for their checkups. The caravan (Nana Burt)showed up early this morning and helped us get ready for our journey. We got all buckled in and we were off, it only took about 30 minutes longer than we originally anticipated but we made it. At the doctors office they were waiting for us and we walked right in. They weighed all the boys and you would not believe how they are growing. Colton weighed 7lbs 11 oz, Peyton was right behind him at 7lbs 9 oz, and Easton weighs 6lbs 13 oz. We we so amazed at there growth rate in just a month. The Doctor gave them a clean bill of health and said everything just looks great so mom and dad were very happy and then we were out of there. We then went to the U of U hospital to return our infant car beds and for a little showing off. We took our Cadillac stroller and some thank you notes and cookies and went and saw all the doctors and nurses that had taken care of us through all of our appointments and the delivery. It was awesome to see them and thank them for all that they did for us. They could not believe how well they are doing and all of their hair (except you Peyton sorry!) It was all Aubry's idea to go up there and I am so glad that we did. It was amazing to see how the big stroller and 3 little babies can gather a crowd. Everyone in the halls and elevators stopped us and just had to check them out, it was a lot of fun. But now it is late and I should be in bed, the 2 am feeding is just around the corner. Until the next episode...
Cadillac Stroller
I just wanted to write about another way Our Great Creator watches out for us and how he has opened up the windows of Heaven upon us again. The other Saturday a good friend and customer of mine Bill Vanbeek called me. He was at a store called NPS and as he walked in to the store the first thing he saw was a triplet stroller and he immediately thought of us. He called me and told me about the stroller and told me that the price tag said $255. I told him to buy it and I would pay him for it. Just the night before Aubry and I had been looking on line for strollers and I was getting frustrated because they were so expensive for new and even used ones on KSL Classifieds and EBAY. I was so happy and so excited to get it and bring it home for Aubry and the 3peat. Well the story gets better as Bill proceeded to checkout, he being a master negotiator mentioned to the clerk that the tires were all flat and was curious to see if he could get a better deal on this stroller. He told the manager about our scenario and having triplets and all, and it worked. We ended up paying $136.18. We are still in shock but loving every minute of the times we walk around the block and can get out of the house with the kids. By the way all the tires needed was a little air. Good thing I had a hook up on that!!!
