18 Week update

Not much to update everyone on. Madeline, Matthew and Jackson are doing well. They are laughing and recently realized that they aren't the only ones. Matthew and Madeline are officially all night sleepers. Jackson has an internal alarm clock that goes off between 2:30 and 3:30am every morning. I am working with him. LOL! For the past two weeks they have been feed dinner from a spoon. Matthew got the hang of it immediately and loves it. Jackson wants immediate gradification and lacks patience. More or less he cries during a feeding if I dont' give him his pacifier in between. Madeline doesn't like the taste or texture and she whines or just refuses to open her mouth. I will add photos later of their first feeding. It was messy and by the looks on their faces somewhat startling. Sunday we arrived in the parking lot on time but it takes awhile to unload and get organized. We were very proud of ourselves. The triplets recently had another round of immunizations and they were very ill. They had the anticipated fever but the fever jumped significantly within hours. I was using Tylenol and switched to Motrin. After the dose of Motrin it seem to have knocked out the fever. They were not feeling well... not eating very much and sleeping alot. Even my little "time clock" Jackson slept alot. It took a few days to recover but they are back on track.
