Well, it finally happened.....

The girls are beginning to look more alike so we often find ourselves asking who is who. The other night, Kevin took one of the girls up to bed and plugged her into her apnea monitor and put her in her crib and then came downstairs. I passed him in the hallway as I was carrying Anna up to bed. As I got to the top of the stairs he realized that he had just put Kathryn in Anna's crib and plugged her into Anna's monitor. There are a couple of ways to tell them apart.

  • Kathryn has a birth mark at the top of her left leg.
  • Anna has a red dot below her left ear. This will eventually go away so we need to find some more differences.
  • Anna looks like she will have a cowlick at her hairline (just like Aunt Susan) so it now looks like a swirl of her hair.

What do you think? Take a guess at who is on the left and who is on the right.I honestly try to update the blog more often than I actually do. It usually takes me about 2 days to finish a post once it is started. I am hoping that as we continue to get on some sort of a schedule, I will have a little more time to update. I intended to post about Kevin's first Father's Day. We didn't do much but it was nice to finally celebrate Father's Day. Kevin is a really great Dad and still manages to be a fabulous husband. I'll admit that I am doing a little more of the housework than I did when I was working full time, but he still does most of the laundry. Dusting and vacuuming are a thing of the past but we are slowly getting used to that. Here are some pics of Kevin with Daniel and Kate.

We had a pediatrician appointment last week and the babies have grown so much. Daniel is now 10 pounds 8 ounces and 22 1/4" long, Anna is now 9 pounds and 21 1/4" long, and Kathryn is now 9 pounds 6 ounces and 21 3/4" long. We also had an appointment with the apnea clinic. No one has had any episodes in about 3 weeks now. Anna and Kathryn were taken off of the caffeine and they would have taken Daniel and Kathryn off of the monitors if we wanted them to. We decided to leave them on the monitors until Anna comes off of hers in mid July. They only need to be plugged in at night when they are sleeping and when they are in the car.

Finally, here is a cute picture of the 3 of them together. They all look like they are smiling, but seconds after I took the picture, they were all screaming.

I would say Kathryn is on the right, Anna on the left?? They are all so BEAUTIFUL! They do look more alike though! Bobby actually thinks that Daniel looks like Aiden in the picture with Kevin holding him.
We are so happy for the two of you!
