How "just one trip" became three (babies)... update 6/29, huge triplets photo update

[Disney Spaz]

I just found your trip reoprt, I know waaaay late but congrats and you and the boys are in my thoughts and prayers.:grouphug:

[peemagg]

Congratulations!!! That is great!! I can just imagine your surprise at the ultasound, in fact I think I may have seen it first hand when I saw my sister's face when she was told she was having twins. I bet your faces were just as priceless. I remember it vividly and the twins are now 2.

One thing that my sister found to be a God send was called Podee Bottles. They are baby bottles where the nipples are on a straw like tube. It made feedings those first 6-8 months a whole lot easier. You should look into it. It would allow you to feed 3 hungry little mouths without having to prop bottles and without extra hands.

[Lease]

Rootskate of course we remember you and our meeting on the tram. You were the only DISers to do the "focker watch" to us :)

:welcome: Disney Spaz and peemagg!

Just a short update, still in the hospital and still pregnant. The boys are all doing well, heart rates are great and still very active.

I am being very closely monitored for pre-eclampsia and toxemia if the tests come back positive or blood pressure keeps climbing it looks like we'll deliver this week. A little earlier than I'd like, but we'll see how it goes.

[DisneySherpa]

Long time lurker who just wanted to come out and wish you well since you may be delivering this week! :flower3:

I've loved your TR and hearing about your 3 mousketeers on the way! And all boys! Bless your heart girl! :worship:

Enjoy every minute of it... I think with multiple times go by so much faster... especially when they're young. Be sure to stick around the boards too! I'd love to hear about their first Disney trip :ssst:

Best of luck to you two... er five! :hug:

[kschafer]

I was just wondering yesterday if not hearing anything for awhile meant they had already made their arrival. Glad to hear you are hanging in there and all looks well!

[ladylyons]

Another long time lurker here and first time poster. Just wanted to come and say congrats on the little ones. Enjoy every minute you can with them and takes lots and lots of pictures because the time just flys way to fast. Here's to hoping that things keep going fine for the five of you.

[Abby's Dad]

Glad to hear that the boys are still doing great, wish you were doing better, but it sounds like you are getting great care, so everything will be fine.

[DisneyFreak06]

:goodvibes :banana: And :worship: Not to forget :grouphug: No real words needed on the DIS!:rotfl:

[kimmylaj]

all i can say is wow. you are doing a great job hanging in there. that is amazing. good luck and thinking of you often. take care

[Blessed_wth_Triplets]

Hi! Just found your report and a BIG CONGRATULATIONS from one triplet mom to another!! :) I have BBB triplets too (spontaneous and fraternal), but mine just turned SIX last week! CRAZY! You are in for a wild, GLORIOUS ride and sounds like you're doing great! If you have any quesitions please ask away! Just wait until you can take your first trip to WDW with them! We took our boys the first time when they were 4.5, then again the next year at 5.5, and now we are awaiting the arrival of our Disney princess due June 6th!:cutie: Can't wait to take her...God willing next summer. Can't wait to hear more!

[NWOhioAngela]

Hi! Just found your report and a BIG CONGRATULATIONS from one triplet mom to another!! :) I have BBB triplets too (spontaneous and fraternal), but mine just turned SIX last week!

:lmao: When I first read this, somehow I read "I have triplets but mine just turned INTO six" I was thinking you were pregnant with sextuplets! Must slow down when reading the boards!

[fsmith2845]

Good luck to ya. . hopefullly all will work out well and they can hold off as long as possible..

In the meantime keep getting those babies bigger. :)

[Mrsdisneyb2b]

You are still in our prayers god bless!!

[jackdis]

Hope all is ok....thinking of all of you!

[Circusgirl]

I think of you, Code, and the boys every day! All best thoughts to you in
this super exciting time. We are all so excited about the boys that you may have to hold a meet the triplets meet on your next trip!

[starrynyt]

I came accross your post and just wanted to send more well wishes! My triplets will be 5 on the 20th. I know everyone says it but it is so true, the time goes by too fast! I remember how excited and scary the end of the pregnancy is but meeting the wonderful bundles is the best!

We leave just under 2 months for my triplets 6th trip the Disney and we are all pumped about it. They are actually asking for disney money for their birthday so the girls can do bibbidi bobbidi boutique, and Jack can buy his own souvenier.

I can't wait to hear how beautiful and healthy they are!

[Code]

First a quick baby update.. today is 32 weeks and 6 days, and there hasn't been any changes really. Her contractions have a pattern of getting more intense and frequent in the evening, so she has been getting a nightly morphine+phenergan shot to knock them down, and for now it's still working.

Next.. sorry once again that I've been absent, I'm sure you can understand I've had some more important priorities lately.

Thank you all so much for all your thoughts and prayers! And also thanks to those that have asked how I'm doing. I'd love to respond individually but I'm just too far behind so one here is one big THANK YOU for everyone. And welcome to all our long time lurker, first time posters!

As far as how I'm doing.. just stretched a bit thin. Between visiting Lease daily, going to work, regular home duties, finding a car, getting our house refinanced, getting everything we still need, etc etc etc.. I'm just busy. But I am getting very very excited to meet our boys!

huey duey & luey, Blessed_wth_Triplets, and starrynyt -
I think it is awesome that other triplet parents have found our thread, really glad to have you along! We'll take any advice you're willing to give ;)

pl'smama - Wanted to give my late congratulations on your arrival!

I wanted to take a minute to brag about my awesome wife. I know she is more miserable than she lets on, but where another woman might be screaming for the babies to come out, she keeps telling them to stay in for as long as possible. Her doctor even told her that she probably wouldn't last past Friday, but she insists she can make it through the weekend. I'm very proud of her for staying strong and positive!

I know some of you were waiting anxiously for pictures of Lease, so here they are!

This one was taken March 30 when I took her cat to the hospital to visit...

http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z112/xavarri/misc/DSC03916_640.jpg

And this one was April 2, she was enjoying some leftover birthday cake…

http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z112/xavarri/misc/DSC03942_640.jpg

I'll get a new picture when I visit tonight and post it.

And here are a few shots from her most recent ultrasound…

Yesterday, I took care of the last big thing we needed to be truly ready to bring them home (at least in terms of possessions).. I bought a minivan :eek: I've been looking for a while and one fitting all our needs finally came along at the right price, so I jumped on it. It's a 2006 Toyota Sienna, light blue (appropriate color). I installed the car seats and put the stroller in the back just to see how it all fits.. it was a very "real" moment for me to see 3 carseats in the back of our minivan. If it stops raining today, I'll take pictures tonight and post them.

Lastly.. I am pretty disappointed with myself that I haven't finished processing the remainder of our Disney trip photos yet as I know there won't be much time for it after they are born, but I'll keep plugging away. I'm going to start posting what I have done so far very soon...

[MICKEY4EVER!]

I just stumbled upon your thread yesterday. Congratulations! Gotta love that Disney magic!

[kschafer]

Hey Code, thanks for posting the pics of Lease, we are all thinking of her and your 3 boys and I'm glad to hear you are hanging in there too!!

don't worry about no TR updates! You have more important matters to attend to and we'll still be here when things settle down for you (hopefully in a few years :lmao:)

[Pamlur]

What a fun thread; like everybody else, I'm enthralled!

A friend of my daughter's had three little (under six) girls and they decided to try one more time for a boy. They, too got three at a time. The boys are in their teens now. When they got a little to big for a stroller, she used to bring them to church in a red wagon. Their church galvanized and build an addition to their house, since they suddenly had six children (under the age of seven)!

Congratulations, and best wishes!

[Abby's Dad]

Next.. sorry once again that I've been absent, I'm sure you can understand I've had some more important priorities lately.
...

Code - you and Lease are doing a great job of taking care of the things that matter, and as a bonus you guys have kept us updated. That's certainly the most that we can hope for, and speaking for this household, we're really glad to keep getting those updates that you, Lease, and the boys are all doing fine. Of course words are one thing, and it is nice to see the pictures of Lease and see for ourselves that she is doing well. How did you get her cat into the hospital? That's a great pic!

Glad you found a family-mobile - it amazed us when Abby was born just how much stuff a baby can require. I really don't think that I can totally comprehend what triplets require.

Hang in there you two, er .... five! It is so good that the boys are at 32+ weeks.

[DisneyFreak06]

I'll agree with all the previous posters. Code, as much as we all enjoy reading your TR and looking at your pictures, we all understand that you are very busy right now. You are doing a great job, I don't have children, but I have 9 siblings, all from the same parents. No multiples either, but at one point my mom had 8 children 10 and under. :eek: I did help my babysit triplets, but I really cannot imagine what you must be mentally going through right now! You sound like you've got the right priorities! Good luck and God bless. Again: :grouphug:

[Hedy]

Keep on hanging in there. My thoughts are with you guys.

[ladylyons]

I wanted to take a minute to brag about my awesome wife. I know she is more miserable than she lets on, but where another woman might be screaming for the babies to come out, she keeps telling them to stay in for as long as possible. Her doctor even told her that she probably wouldn't last past Friday, but she insists she can make it through the weekend. I'm very proud of her for staying strong and positive!

That's great she's keeping a positive attitude in this exciting time. My friend said the same thing to her twins when she was pregnant with them about staying in for as long as possible and she ended up going 38 weeks which what I hear is rare when carrying mutiples (and this is when her Dr was telling her she wouldn't go past 33 weeks). Good luck to making it through the weekend. Keep having small goals and I'm sure you'll make it through this exciting time.

Congrats on the van purchase!!! We had the same problem when I was pregnant with our second child because both of our cars were to small to deal with two carseats so we ended up with a 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan for an awesome price. Looking forward to hearing more updates and enjoy these peaceful moments while you can because you are in for the time of your life!!

[ANTSS2001]

Thank you for the update... again just what others have posted... we are all wishing you 5 the best of health... I think Dis is stable enough that we can hang on for the next few years with your TR posts... for now we are glad that things are running as smoothly as possible... take care of yourself too!!! :grouphug:

[PoohHappens]

I just found your trip/trip report and wanted to stop by and say Hi and Congrats. I am a nurse in L&D and work in our high risk OB unit. 33weeks is AWESOME and you have an amazing wife. Every moment you keep babies in are many moments you keep babies out of the NICU. This takes so much strength physically and emotionally and is an incredibly selfless act. Just wanted to commend your wife and you. It takes not only a strong mom but a dad who is supportive and can handle things at home taking that stressor off of mom. WAY TO GO YOU TWO. I do not even know you and I am so proud of you both. Good luck and I cannot wait to follow along and hear of the belssed delivery of your sons. It is so rare for this to happen and then rare to make it as far as you have. That is some real pixie dust, maybe you guys should play the lottery. Again congratulations.

[Mrsdisneyb2b]

Oh wow thank you Code for updating. Our prayers will continue, and Lease is SO strong!!!!

[diberry]

Thank you so much for the update Code. It's great to know you are all doing so well. Lovely to see the photos of Lease. I remember about a couple of years ago you said how brilliantly she'd done losing a lot of weight - tell her it'll come off really quickly this time - just a few minutes and she'll lose over a stone!!! :rotfl: She looks really good in those photos - love the purple pants!
The scans of the boys are so exciting - you can really see their faces - wow!!!
I think we're all really devouring every bit of information and photos - if you have time please keep it coming! :grouphug:

[Glendamax]

Hey Code and Lease! Thanks for the update! It was great seeing you Lease. I hope you're able to make it through the weekend! I'll keep checking in to see if there's any news!

Cya!
:hug:
-Gmax

[Kellyh123]

I am so excited for you! I check every day to see how ya'll are doing! I am a teacher of the visually impaired and I work with many premature babies. 32 weeks is such a milestone as far as the babies development goes! I was so happy when I saw that not only did you reach that point but you passed it! Can' wait to see pictures of your wonderful babies.

[burly]

I have always been a lurker and sometimes poster. Thanks for the updates.
Good luck and my prayers are with you both and the babies. :hug:

[torsie24]

Wow! I have just read you whole TR today, and I have to say your photos are the most AMAZING I've seen out of any other WDW photography!!!!!

Lease is doing amazing, I hope she isn't too uncomfortablel, and all the babies do great! How cute that you took the cat to the hospital to see her!

Can't wait to hear more! (If you find anytime!! - you should be getting as much sleep in as possible!!!!)

Torsie xxxx

[disneyismyname]

I've just came back to the board this week and look what i missed!:)

Congrats on your babies! My prayers are with you both!

[Code]

Thanks as always everyone for well wishes :goodvibes

Today is 33 weeks!!! and by now I'm guessing our boys are all at or over 5 lbs each!

It's also our fifth wedding anniversary :) We're obviously postponing any celebration, but I just want to let my wife know how much I love her!

Fred - the nurse said it was OK, I just brought her cat in a carrier. And I'm not sure I can comprehend just exactly the amount of stuff we are going to have either :eek: or where it will all go!

As promised, a picture of Lease from last night, April 9..

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc215/xavarri2/misc/DSC04077_480.jpg

Here are some pictures of the minivan we bought.. a 2006 Toyota Sienna 8-passenger model. The main reason we picked it is because it fits 3 car seats in the second row very well (3 LATCH seats) and later on we can take one of the seats out for easy access to the back.

The color is very appropriate...

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc215/xavarri2/misc/DSC04053_640.jpg

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc215/xavarri2/misc/DSC04059_640.jpg

I installed the car seats and put the stroller frame in the back, as I said it was a very weighty moment for me to see all 3 seats installed and ready to go.

[Hedy]

Happy anniversary!

[Abby's Dad]

Fred - the nurse said it was OK, I just brought her cat in a carrier.

That speaks well for this hospital and their staff - its nice that they are so understanding, Lease certainly has earned it.

And Happy Anniversary to you two!party: And thanks again for letting all of us come along for the excitement.

Keep hanging in there - you both are doing a great job!

[Glendamax]

Happy Anniversary! Thanks for posting more pics today. I can see getting emotional after the car seats were in. I was too!

I too was wondering how you were able to get the cat in the hospital. I didnt know they allowed pet visits - the things you learn on the DIS!

Well, I'm glad you made it through today. I'll check back in on Sunday/Monday.

God Bless!
-Gmax

[Leanne1972]

Wonderful updates! Lease looks beautiful!!! I'm glad to hear everyone is doing well. You'll be cuddling your sons very soon!!

[torsie24]

Congratulations on your anniversary!!

Lease looks great and the photo of the car with the seats in is so cute! It could be the cover of a boook about expecting triplets or something!!

That's awesome that the boys are all over 5lb! Poor Lease though! My friend just had twins of 6 and 7 lb and she was really in pain, I can't believe how strong Lease must be!

[scottish mum]

Happy anniversary. That photo of the 3 car seats really makes it real. Good luck and look forward to more updates.

[MICKEY4EVER!]

Awww. Everyone's right - the car seats in the car make it so real! I can't imagine having three of them. :scared1:

And I think the Mickey antenna topper is just the perfect touch. So cute! I wish our car had an antenna so I could have one of those.

Congrats on your triplets. :dance3: I know that you and Lease are going to be fine parents. You are such a loving husband and its obvious how much she loves you. If you have that much love, there's no obstacle you can't overcome. :grouphug:

Best wishes! Happy Anniversary, too!

[huey duey & luey]

:banana::banana::banana:
Lease is doing wonderful!!!! she looks GREAT
congrats to you both and Happy Anniversary.

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Congratulations! Wow triplets, you guys are going to have your hands full, you are very blessed. I am so glad that Lease and the babies are healthy and doing well. Lease you seem to be keeping a very positive attitude, they will be here soon! :goodvibes

[Pamlur]

I am in complete awe at Lease's strength! She's smiling, her head is up, she's going what she feels she needs to do. She is my hero!


And I know your love for her is helping every step of the way.

[accountingbabe08]

IMO Lisa looks absolutely fantabulous. We women when we are pregnant and nurturing our babies in our tummy's we can be very strong willed and determined to bring our babies into this world safely and as healthy as possible. Being positive makes all the difference in the world.

She looks great!!!! I've had three singletons!! Job well done Lisa for NAP!!!!:worship::banana:

[TKDisneylover]

Hey guys!

Sounds like things are going really well, I will continue to send good thoughts your way! Lease, you look great! Code, nice job getting the van, and hey, is that a Sorcerer Mickey antenna topper on that van?! SWEET! He's my fav, I've got one on my SUV.

Hope all continues to go well, and by the way, Happy Anniversary!:dance3:

[Circusgirl]

Happy Easter and Anniversary!
Thanks for all the pictures. I love Lease's Tink PJs, the totally cute visit with her kitty, and I especially love the last picture of the van - it looks like a sports car ready to zoom out despite its extremely practical nature.
You two are inspiring and I'm thrilled that everything is going so well.

[bsusanmb]

Happy Easter, and belated happy anniversary. Love the new vehicle. Things are going really well for you. My prayers are with you both!

Blessings,
Susan

[abbybeth]

So glad to see that everyone is doing well - I know I haven't been on in a while, but dad has been passing on the updates. I've been hustling to finish some projects on a deadline ;)

Sending lots of positive thoughts your way - hang in there Lease, you're in the homestretch!

(and I love that Willow got to come visit you!)

[cajunfan]

Hope everything is going well!

[moparop]

Another lurker coming out of the shadows!

I totally cried seeing all those seats in, I just imagine how it felt for you.

Lease, you look amazing and how exciting to still be doing so well at 33 weeks! I hope those boys keep on baking!

[PurpleTurtle]

Hi there - I have enjoyed reading your trip/life reports over the past week or so. We have four kids, including a set of twins, and the same van you just bought. You're in for a few really fun years :thumbsup2 Enjoy your time with the whole crew.

[karriemouse]

Hi Code & Lease,
I've been away for 2 1/2 weeks (Disney then a Christian conference) and I'm sooooo thrilled to see you still hanging in there! :cheer2:
You look great Lease - I've seen single/twin pregnancies with bigger bumps. Sending continued prayers for yours and the babies good health and a safe delivery. :hug:

[Lease]

Today makes it 34 weeks, my original goal to carry the boys to. The scheduled eviction (delivery) will be next Friday. At 35 weeks, the boys will have less time in the NICU and will hopefully be able to breath on their own from the get go. Also we (Cody, Dr and I) are in agreement that the boys will be skipping the preemie size.

I'm really excited to meet the boys, so is Cody. Cody has been amazing while I've been in the hospital. Working, taking care of everything at home plus coming to see me almost everyday. On top of everything he also took care of buying the mini-van, finishing set up of the nursery, getting clothing and blankets washed for when the boys come home...basically he's done it all.

Now that the house is ready (or close enough) for the homecoming all that's left to do is anxiously await their arrival.

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

:cheer2: I am so glad that you met your goal and that everybody is well and healthy. You are doing amazing Lease as is Code!

[Kellyh123]

That is so awesome! I have been checking every day to see how you are doing! Can't wait to see the pictures!

[NWOhioAngela]

Thanks for taking the time to post! We are all so excited for you, and I will be thinking of all FIVE of you (WOW) next week on your big day.

[ladylyons]

Congrats on reaching your goal!!!!:cheer2: That's awesome news. The less time in the NICU the better. I love how your keeping good spirits and how your refering to the delivery as their evicition date.:lmao: Love it!!! Good luck!!!

[Code]

Today makes it 34 weeks, my original goal to carry the boys to.

WOOHOO!!! :banana: :yay: :cool1: You're doing an amazing job, I love you so much!

Someone once told us with triplets 30 weeks was a bronze medal, 32 was silver, and 34 was gold... so, gold medal! :thumbsup2

If she makes it 7 more days, we can probably expect them all to be at or over 6.5 lbs.. crazy!

I can't wait to meet our boys!

[torsie24]

Hi Lease! Well done on making your goal!! I betyou're so excited to meet them now!!

Hope you are feeling good, you are very lucky to have such a good husband!!

Take care!!

[accountingbabe08]

Congratulations on meeting your 34 week goal. Your boys are very lucky to have a strong mommy like you are. I'm so excited I can't wait until we get to see pictures of the boys too.

Belinda

[diberry]

Many congratulations - that's great news - you've both done a fantastic job. I'll be thinking of you on Friday - as you're 7 hours behind us it'll be evening here probably when you deliver so please tell Code to hurry to put the news on DIS!!!:yay::yay::yay: God bless!

[Abby's Dad]

Lease & Code - you guys are an awesome team, and I am really excited for you two and the boys. I really have a lot of confidence that you two will be great parents, and the boys will be more fun than a barrel full of monkeys.

34 weeks - that's doing a fantastic job, and who could ask for more? So next Friday will be the day - we'll be watching for the news flash.

[Hedy]

WOOHOO!!! :banana: :yay: :cool1: You're doing an amazing job, I love you so much!

34 weeks! Wow! Congratulations on making it that far! Good luck with delivery! I hope all goes well!

[JustMickey]

That's so awesome that you made it all the way to 34 weeks!!! Hang in there! :woohoo:

[MeMom]

I've kept up with your continuing good news, but never posted. Just wanted to chime in with all the others and say that many thoughts and prayers will be sent out for you in the weeks ahead as these beautiful little boys show up to rock your world! :goodvibes:goodvibes:goodvibes

Like many others, I look forward to seeing the little guys' pictures soon, and then seeing Disney trip pictures a little further in the future. Best of all things to you and your families on your new arrivals!:)

[aheape1979]

Warm wishes and many prayers sent your way!

As the mother of 2 vacation babies, my best advice is to sleep NOW! It won't happen a lot over the next few months. Enjoy every minute of it, though, because they grow up fast!

Post pics!

[hill6]

Congrats on making 34 weeks.

[ljcrochet]

Congrats on making it to 34 weeks.

Lynn

[Glendamax]

Congrats! So glad you've made it thus far! Hang in there, your almost there! :goodvibes

[MelanieC]

WOw triplet's - amazing. I guess one for each trip :)

[smphbear]

Lease,

Keep up the amazing job! I did 2 go rounds in the NICU. You have set yourself up to spring those boys very quickly from the hospital. You all remain in my prayers.

[burly]

Kept up with you guys from the get go. Congrats on making your goal. Hope your boys are all born healthy. Keep us posted when you can...not that you will be busy.....;)

[WDWKrazedKitty]

Okay, so I am VERY late but I just found your report and got caught up.

First, I want to say how much I loved your report. And your photos, wow... amazing. I am a 'photo taking fool', so I am in awe of your pics.

Lastly, but not least, congrats on your 'soon to bes'. How amazing that is. And Lease, what you have been through. Wow, you are a truly strong person. Code, that was so sweet of you to bring 'kitty' to visit. :thumbsup2 I wonder if kitty has a clue of what's to come. ;)

Anyhow, my prayers stay with you and I cannot wait to hear more. Reading all your posts makes me want another. :goodvibes

Be well!!!!!!!!!!!!

[annnewjerz]

Just wanted to pop over from the Photo Board to see how things were going with the boys. Good to see that you guys made it to 34 weeks!!

Congrats and can't wait to hear any news, which I'm sure at this point will be a post detailing their birth weights, etc. and welcoming them to the world (and eventually, "The World" ;)).


Ann

[Elfstar]

Just found your report tonight - wow - best of luck to you all, am keeping you both (and the boys) in my thoughts and prayers. We're all waiting for pictures of the babies! Can't wait! Lease, you look wonderful and you're doing a great job of hanging in there. I love that you wanted to see your cat (I've always had cats and just love them!). Code, you're great to handle everything on your own the way you did! You two are a great pair!:thumbsup2:flower3::grouphug::cheer2:

[newtodis]

I wanted to come out of lurkdom here and share our well wishes with you both as well!! Congratulations. I've been trying to get through the TR after the catchy title caught me and I've been hooked ever since! I can't wait to hear the news about your beautiful boys. Coming from a mommy who had a baby that spent a week in RNICU, I would never wish that on anyone. Good luck with everything - I hope you are all out of there and home in no time! :goodvibes

[abbybeth]

just a couple more days - you can actually say that in a matter of hours you'll be meeting your boys!

almost there - you're doing great!


sending you guys lots of good thoughts and prayers!

[Code]

First, thanks once again for well wishes, congrats, and anniversary wishes!

Thanks Fred & Abby, Glenda, Hedy, Leanne1972, torsie24, scottish mum, MICKEY4EVER!, huey duey & luey, Lessa, Pamlur, accountingbabe08, TKDisneylover, Circusgirl, bsusanmb, cajunfan, moparop, PurpleTurtle, karriemouse, Kellyh123, NWOhioAngela, ladylyons, diberry, Happy Elf, JustMickey, MeMom, aheape1979, hill6, ljcrochet, mebrm, MelanieC, smphbear, burly, WDWKrazedKitty, Ann, Elfstar, and newtodis !!!!!

Thanks especially to all those that have been with us since the start that are still posting, and to all our newcomers and lurkers that have joined us!

MICKEY4EVER! & TKDisneylover - I'm glad the antenna topper got noticed. Lease and I both have Sorcerer Mickey on our cars, it's definitely the best one!

Next.. I was messing around on our kitchen whiteboard with our magnetic Disney characters this morning while waiting for my toast, and I took this pic to send to Lease.. thought I'd post it here for fun too. Countdown calendars are very common here, but this one is a bit unique ;)

http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z112/xavarri/misc/DSC04268_800.jpg

And here is a new pic of Lease from last night..

http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z112/xavarri/misc/DSC04257_640.jpg

Lastly, the boys had a growth measurement ultrasound, and they are all over 5 1/4 lbs! Looks like my estimate over 6 was a bit high, but her doctor said today it looks like they are likely to skip the NICU!!!

[MICKEY4EVER!]

My son loves the Sorcerer Mickey the best! So, he'd be in agreeance with you that it is the best one. I totally get his fascination with it.

Only three more "sleeps". :rotfl: Oh, how right you are! Congratulations to you both. B'Day will be here before you know it. I'm so excited for you both!!!! As always, Lease looks beautiful. Such a trooper she is! :thumbsup2

[MeMom]

Skipping NICU would be awesome!

Hang in there, Mommy and Daddy!
You've got lots of folks out here cheering for you! :cheer2::dance3::cool1::banana::woohoo::yay:

Aren't we a pretty bunch?

Can't wait to see those precious boys soon!

[DisneyFreak06]

Only 3 more sleeps! :dance3: That's great. You are all doing so well. Great van and I love the Disney magnets with your countdown calendar. Those boys are going to be trained well on Disney!

[Abby's Dad]

The boys have been really well cared for - I don't think you could ask for any better weight and gestational age. You both are to be congratulated, and maybe Lisa should be up for sainthood - you both seem to have done everything that was asked of you and more, and seem to have done your planning. Who says that learning to plan a Disney trip isn't great training? :rotfl:

Wouldn't have missed this trip for anything - but I'm already looking forward to the TR from the boys' first trip to WDW.

Hang in there - three sleeps!

[sam517]

I have read the entire thread and am a dyed in the wool lurker, but I just had to come out of lurkdom when I saw your last pics with the 3 more sleeps! Code you are going to be the best Dad and you are already a wonderful husband. Lease, hang in there for a couple more days. You have already proven what a great Mom you are! I am rooting for all five of you. God bless you all. I can't wait to see pictures of the boys in the outside world!

[smphbear]

Skip the NICU! YEAH!

Hang in there Lease.... you are so close. Will continue checking in and keeping your new family in my prayers.

[kschafer]

Way to go Lease!!! you are awesome. you are also very lucky to have a guy as great to you and proud of you as Code.

We anxiously await word of the arrival of your 3 little blessings and skipping the NICU is AMAZING

[DisneyMom5]

Praying for a successful and uncomplicated c-section, and a quick and happy recovery!
Lease - you make sure everyone waits on you hand and foot for TWO months after. That is major surgery, not to mention, anyone that births more than one child at a time deserves extra time to be treated right! :thumbsup2

[TRICKY_TINK]

Congrats!! Might I suggest cloth diapers. Your looking at a ton of diapers could help you a lot to have some cloth ones. I like prefolds and covers for newborns then one size fits all for infant to potty learning age. Check out diaper swappers online for more info. Wishing you a wonderful delivery!

[crgfsu1]

Code & Lease,

First off, congratulations on your babies! Way to go making it to 34+ weeks. The boys sure do seem likely to be healthy.

I havent read all of your TR, mostly because I just caught sight of it over the weekend. My mission is to go backwards and get all the details. I remember you from Abbybeth's TR (hey Abby, Fred & Lynn). I have been absent from the disboards for a while, but I am back in business now :)

Best of luck with the boys! I will be thinking of you all on Friday :)

Cathy

[aheape1979]

Lease, you are absolutely a HERO!!!! Code, every hero has a wonderful partner! 3 more days! Please post pictures ASAP on birthday x3!

[Circusgirl]

WOW! You are both my heroes, for what you've done with this unexpected incredible life changing experience, and how you've supported each other while taking care of business. I'm so happy for you that the boys will enter this world so far along, and hope they do get to pass right by the NICU!
All best thoughts and wishes are with you every minute!

[Happy Elf]

:dance3: Only 3 more sleeps! :cheer2:

Lease, you look wonderful! You are my hero making it this far!

I hope all goes well with your c-section!

[moparop]

Three more sleeps that's unbelievable! Skipping the NICU is even better!

So happy for you guys!

[MaceysMom]

Hello. I just found your trip report today and read the whole thing. Congratulations on your boys!!! Lease looks like she is doing incredibly well for 34 week triplets! I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers especially on Friday. The big day!!!:cool1:

[Liljam]

I just read the latest update and I'm anxiously awaiting the next update too. You have both been in my thoughts and prayers since I found out about the pregnancy on the POTD thread and I've followed this one since. It's also nice to hear that the boys might get to skip NICU! Good luck on Friday!

[nat1234]

I just found your TR. I've read a fair amount of it but just decided to post at the end and catch up later. First congratulations on your boys. You're about to enter an exciting and wonderful time in your lives. And you'll get to see them so soon. Hang on and enjoy the ride because it goes by so quickley. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. And second, Code, your pictures are fantastic.:worship: I now have camera envy. I don't think I could ever take picture that wonderful but I sure would like to give it a try. Just think of how much fun you're going to have taking baby pictures. Congratulations agian and I can't wait to see pictures of your new bundles of joy.

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

That would be so wonderful if they get to skip the NICU, and probably a big relief for mom and dad!

[Glendamax]

Hey Lease! Thanks for the update! So glad that all is going well! Can't wait to see them! :goodvibes

[Disney Spaz]

Thanks for the update. It sounds like great news all around. :cool1:

[scottish mum]

Brilliant news.

[Disneychix]

Thanks for including us all in the amazing journey your (growing) family has been on. Lease, you look great and have taken the best care ever of those baby boys! Get your rest now! :)

Lots of luck on an easy delivery and recovery!

[MagicShell]

Hi. I have been reading your report recently and I just wanted to send you best wishes for a safe delivery. Congratulations on you triplets!

[purpletiger]

I have been a silent lurker on your trip reports for some time. I just want to say first and foremost Lease you look great. Hang in there and it will be all worth it in the end. Code you have a great talent in picture taking. Your kids will be lucky to have you as a dad. Just imagine :rolleyes: at their soccer games in the future you will be the dad behind the big camera and your kids describe who their father is and they say "the one with the camera". lol. Then all the stinky little players will run and make funny faces and you will get even better pictures than ever before. Kids are such great subjects to take pictures of. Some of my best pics are my kids goofing off and being silly. DD10 and DS6.
Anyways yall both hang in there and get plenty of rest cuz you will definitely need it. Take advantage of the nursery at the hospital. That said keep us posted on the progress. Take care.
Amy

[kimmylaj]

i know you will be busy but promise me that we will have pictures right away (okay within a week);) you guys are the best. take care. prayers and pixie dust for a great delivery, recovery, and healthy boys.:thumbsup2

[dayzemair]

Lease, you are amazing!!!! You look fantastic and those are three lucky little miracles in there. I have a 6 month old and I know how much of a joy he is, so I know what you are in for as far as the happiness and joy that babies bring. So many good wishes for a safe and healthy delivery and skipping the NICU!:cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:

Code - your pictures are amazing, I could look at your visions of WDW all day long :lovestruc

[naomi78155]

Congrats Lease and Code!
I started reading your pre-trip report and could not stop reading. Love the pics, the posts, and the pregnancy coverage.
Your boys will make such a wonderful addition to your cute family!

[burly]

Woot Woot. Your gonna make it! :cheer2:

[pl'smama]

WOW, I can't believe you guys have almost made it to 35 weeks!! That is wonderful! We are all so happy for you.

Lease, you look amazing, just stunning! You are working so hard to keep your boys healthy and safe and I admire you so much.

Code, you are my hero for all that you have been doing for both your wife and your boys.

I am only sorry that I can't check in here every day to see how you all are, but I will make a point to do so for the next few, if I can. I just have one sweet darling little boy to love and take care of, but you guys will have your arms full!!

I have to say that your love and devotion to one another has made me vaklemp tonight. Your boys are so blessed to have parents that love one another as you do.

Good luck and God bless you all through these last few days. You are all in my prayers.

Suz

[huey duey & luey]

Congratulations to you both!!! Lease you did such a great job carrying those boys. I am sure you are so excited to meet them. Welcome and a very happy birthday to Nicholas, Andrew and Parker.
Get ready for the ride of your life!:goodvibes

[karriemouse]

I'm amazed at the boys weight - well done!!!! (My 36 wk premmie was 5lb 10oz - you've managed that 3 times over at less weeks!!!)

So nearly there - will be waiting & praying for you all tomorrow. :dance3:

[wahoostampingirl]

Code and Lease-

Really hope you get chance to post some tonight (you won't have anything else on your mind, will you???) :rolleyes1 so I can see them tomorrow morning before we go away for the weekend!

I know you all will do wonderfully! Good luck - as a parent of multiples, I can tell you it will all be great!

[nobodies36]

Thinking of you all today!

Sorry I've not posted much (but did read all the updates), I've been busy with working on gifts for three very special boys ;).

I cannot wait for photos.

[debbieandroo]

Thank you for letting us in on your journey. I'll be praying for you today.

Can't wait for news & photos! :dance3:

[accountingbabe08]

Happy Birthday NAP!!!!

[Code]

Andrew, Parker, and Nicholas have arrived!!! :dance3::yay::cool1::banana:

Sorry I'm late posting, but it has been non-stop since they were born.

Andrew 5 lbs 4 oz
Parker 5 lbs 9 oz
Nicholas 4 lbs 13 oz

The surgery went well... it was VERY fast once things got started. All three were born within two minutes. Now mom is recovering, dad is riding on cloud nine, and our babies are amazing and beautiful!

They skipped the NICU!!! Nicholas is in the intermediate nursery, and Andrew and Parker were actually in mom's room for a few hours, but their blood glucose levels weren't what they should be so they are joining Nick for the night. But they will most likely all be coming home when Lease does!

How about some pictures?

The final belly shot...

Here is Andrew shortly after birth...

After they were cleaned up a bit, they decided to hand all 3 to me for a photo op.

One baby...

We're pretty lonely in Lease's room with all 3 in the intermediate nursery for the night, but it's for the best, and we're both totally spent anyway (Lease far more than me obviously but I've still been up for 18 hours on 3 hours of sleep.)

More to come tomorrow!

[Circusgirl]

WAHOOO!!!

Thanks for the great post and photos. Congratulations on your incredible success and happy beginnings!!

[Backstage_Gal]

Congrats to both of you! So happy all went well. The babies are beatiful. Great pics.

I need a reminder though, which ones are the identical ones, or are there any?

The fun is just beginning............

[emcreative]

CONGRATULATIONS! I'm new to your journey but skipped ahead to see your beautiful babies, can't wait to go back and read more!

It's AMAZING they have such wonderful weights, your wife made it so long AND they all managed to skip the NICU! What a great job, mom and dad! You're so blessed.

(And, AWESOME birthday...our little boy just turned 1 today!)

[JustMickey]

Congrats!! :dance3:

[ladylyons]

YEAH Code and Lease!!! Congrats on your adorable little boys. That is so awesome that they are skipping the NICU and going home when Mom does. Your in for some exciting times. Enjoy these last moments of peace because they will be few and far between once you all go home. Don't forget about each other once the little ones are home. One thing that has kept me and DH sane is a night out to dinner just the two of us evey now and then. That hour and a half to two hours can do wonders. Enjoy and again big congrats!!! Lease you look great for just having three beautiful baby boys!!!

[andrewilley]

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! :dance3:

Congratulations to you both (in fact, to all five of you now!) from over here on the other side of the Atlantic!

Those weights are fabulous, many single babies weigh in at less than that. Well done Lease, it can't have been easy carrying those three chunky little chaps around for these past few weeks! But the wait paid off, they look so beautiful and healthy. :thumbsup2

Glad it's all turned out so well, and now the fun part begins... LOL! :laundy:


Eagerly awaiting all the forthcoming 'trip' reports. :)

Andre

[Mom2apirate&princess]

Congratulations! They are adorable!!!

[torsie24]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Well done Lease, they are lovely boys and all look so healthy! Hope you catch up with your sleep over the next couple of nights and then all get home together to start a happy healthy life!!

[Disneymaddness]

Great photos! You are so blessed with 3 healthy babies, congrats!:dance3:

[FoundNemoLostDori]

Congratulations on your 3 baby blessings! I'm so happy that everything went well for you both. God bless!

[disneyhockeymad]

I've been lurking again since my first post but Code and Lease your boys are gorgeous!! I'm so happy it all went well for Lease! :)

[chicagoshannon]

They're all adorable! Great job Lease! Congrats to you both!

[nobodies36]

Awww. They are so beautiful and healthy weights too. Thank you so much for sharing, and so quickly! Nicholas, Andrew and Parker could not ask for better parents; you should both be so proud of yourselves.

Can't wait for more!

[mebrm]

So very happy all are doing well, best of luck on your new journey in life what a great start they are all beautiful

[crgfsu1]

Congrats!!!!!!!!!! They are precious!! How wonderful that they are able to skip NICU & go home soon.

Thanks for sharing!

congratulations mom and dad! Can you believe you are now a family of 5 overnight??

[MeMom]

Congratulations to you all!
What a blessing to have such handsome, healthy boys. They will bring you a lifetime of thrills, laughter, and fun!
And a few messes, but that's okay. They're cute, and you'll forgive them.;)

Get as much rest as you can, and let other people pamper and take care of you guys as well as the babies.

Great job, Mom and Dad!!! :cool1::cool1::cool1:

Code and Lease,

I'm so glad that god gave you your three precious little boys. I'm glad they are here and healthy.

[nat1234]

How wonderful for you both. They're beautiful. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!:woohoo:

Welcome Andrew, Parker and Nicholas to this crazy family we call the Dis :cool1: :cool1: :cool1:

[smphbear]

Amazing job Lease! Congratulations to both of you. Welcome NAP!

[Abby's Dad]

:banana::banana::banana::woohoo: They are here - and they are perfect and beautiful, and mom and dad made it too! :rotfl2:

Really, both Lease and Code look fantastic, and the boys are so beautiful that they made me a little teary. I am just so, so happy for the five of you!

And Code - certainly no need to apologize for being late - you weren't late at all, and you provided all these great pictures. The most I was hoping for on the first day was just a "babies are here and we are all fine" - you went way beyond that (and I am really glad that you did), but you've got a lot more going on than entertaining your fan club - but we'll still be hanging on every word and picture :)

BTW - package for the boys is scheduled to arrive on your doorstep on Monday - enjoy!

What do the grandparents think of these boys - I bet they are quite proud, and rightly so. You guys just ROCK!

[Dreaming~of~Disney]

They are beautiful! Congratulations!

[Kellyh123]

How absolutely wonderful! I know how totally joy filled you must be! I remember the days my children were born and there is no greater joy! Try to enjoy every minute. Thanks so much for sharing with us.

[scottish mum]

:yay::yay::yay::yay: CONGRATULATIONS.

Delighted that everything went so well. The 3 boys all look absolutely adorable and you both must be so proud to finally be able to hold them.

Take care and hope you are all home together soon.

All my love

[Happy Elf]

:dance3: Congratulations!!!!! :dance3:

Big hugs to all FIVE of you and Lease what an amazing job you did!! My students will be so excited to hear the good news as they have had you on their prayer wall for some time!
Congratulations to you both!

[moparop]

Congratulations Code and Lease and welcome to the world Parker, Andrew and Nicholas!! How amazing that they were able to skip the NICU and potentially coming with Mom - just awesome. I think there is plenty of pixie dust at work.

Enjoy your new family!

[karriemouse]

Woo - hoo!! Congratulations!!! :banana::banana::banana:

Whoops! Double Post.... Extra Blessings for you!!

[kid-at-heart]

Ahhh, such a beautiful family! :goodvibes

[peemagg]

Congratulations to you both! Those boys are amazing! They weigh more than my sisters twins did who went full term. You did a great job. Be sure and rest when P.A.N. lets you (I just had to do a reverse of NAP). Enjoy your first Mother's Day Lease and your first Father's Day Code!

[hill6]

Congratulations on the birth of your beautiful baby boys. Thank you for sharing their first moments with us. Hopefully mom had a good nights rest last night before gearing up for the feedings ahead.

[Hedy]

So happy for all five of you!

[eandesmom]

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are beautiful!

[wahoostampingirl]

Congratulations on the arrival of your beautiful baby boys!

I forgot to mention in my first post that my ds's name is Nicholas Andrew, so I really like your choice of names. :goodvibes

Get some sleep while you can. The next 6 months will be craaaa-raaaaa-zeeee!

[Kara]

Congrats!!!! They are beautiful!!!!

[TKDisneylover]

:dance3:Congratulations Code & Lease!!:dance3:

[abbybeth]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!:cool1:

They're here - and I'm so happy that everyone is great and healthy!


They's so cute! Welome to the world Nicholas, Andrew and Parker!

[starrynyt]

Congratulations!! I am so glad to hear that everything went well. They are beautiful! I hope they get to come home on a feeding schedule that was the best thing for us because it kept the chaos at a minimum. If they do don't let others get them off their schedule (like extended family) because they might be there to help during the day but at night it is just you two at night.

Now the rest of the ride begins!

[Disney Spaz]

Congrats this is totally awesome. The boys are too cute. I can't wait to see Nicholas. You guys did great.

[Eeyore's-tail-tack]

I have been reading the whole thread. I would have posted before now, but found it and didn't want to respond til I completed the whole thread. Congrats on the birth of the boys. You are in for the ride of your life. Take care and good luck.

[momoftriplets]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
What a beautiful family!

I feel like I'm cheating, skipping to "the end".

Obviously, the word "TRIPLETS" caught my eye.

Your family sounds a lot like mine. I made it to 35 weeks, 5 days with my kiddos. Their weights were very similar to your boys and they all came home from the hospital with me, 4 days after delivery. (as you can see from my siggie, my kids are now 12 years old!)

It is wonderful that your boys will be coming home so soon. My words of unsolicited advice -

*take any help you can get
*sleep when you can

Please feel free to PM me if you would like. I would be happy to share any other advice you may want.

Congratulations again. :dance3:

[pl'smama]

They are just beautiful!! Lisa and Cody, you make gorgeous babies!!! Your sons are wonderful, you two have done an amazing job!

I am with Abby's Dad on this one, a bit vaklemp is what I am. You two are in for the best time of your lives. These next few months will be crazy, but when you look into their eyes, see their little smiles and just get to cuddle them to you, the craziness goes away for awhile.

Thrilled beyond words is what I am for you. I am so happy they are healthy and will get to come home with you. That is a true miracle. Enjoy this time and take the chance to rest whenever you can.

Thanks for thinking of all of us and posting those amazing photos Cody. They are fantastic and what a great size and weight your boys are.

Blessings to Nicholas, Andrew and Parker and their mommy and daddy!

[diberry]

Many congratulations!!! Just got home tonight after a weekend away and was so happy to see the photos - WOW!!!! What big healthy boys. They look really well filled out and have really mature little faces - just gorgeous! Brilliant weights too! Andrew and Parker look like Daddy - no doubt Nicholas does too! Daddy looks very competent already! :) Looking forward to lots more updates and photos please!!!:love: You have quite an international following!!

[lthiesfeld07]

Congratulations Congratulations Congratulations

[PNWmom]

Congratulations x 3!!!

What did you give the boys for middle names?

[MICKEY4EVER!]

I know one poster said the babies looked like their daddy, but I the first thing I saw was Lease in every one of their faces! :goodvibes

They'll change day by day - one day they'll look like Daddy, another they may look like Mommy or some other family member. So fun to watch them grow!!!

Congratulations again. You guys have quite a support sysem on DIS! :grouphug:

[Twende]

What wonderful news! :cool1:

Congratulations Code and Lease! Welcome to the world boys!:dance3:

[MaceysMom]

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!:cool1::cool1::cool1::co ol1::cool1::cool1:


The boys are so cute. I am so glad that they are doing so well. Skipping the NICU is awesome:thumbsup2 Code you were so supportive to Lease during this whole time. You get the #1 Daddy award! Now try and get some sleep!!!

[CW4DW]

Just found your report and still have to finish ~ but congratulations!

[allison k]

Code and Lease!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Your TR title caught my eye a few weeks ago and lurker I that am, I just read, and never posted! How wonderful that your boys are here and are going home with you! What I have loved so much in reading your TR is how much you both love eachother. It will be even better when you can grow that love with the addition of your 3 boys. How wonderful!

[kathymc]

how wonderful. so happy everything went so well and the boys are beautiful

good luck and congratulations

[purpletiger]

First of all CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!! It is so wonderful to hear the boys and Lisa are doing great. Take full advantage of the nursery at night cause you will definitely need your rest.

FYIAs a mom to a boy I found that Target brand diapers are the best for little boys. I tried every brand and found out that with other brands their bellies got all wet from wetting out of the diaper. For some reason the Target brand did not do that.

Again Congrats. Lots of thoughts and prayers are with you guys. Take care.

[pwdebbie]

Just got back from the world and am catching up. Congratulations -- the boys look great. Now the adventure begins! Whenever someone says to you, "Is there anything I can do to help?" say "YES!" And then let them help. My dd had twins last year (and already had a 1yo and 2yo) and she needed plenty of help (still does -- I go over twice a week to help out and also bring much of the children's laundry back to my house). These little ones are blessings in your life. Enjoy them!

[Liljam]

Congratulations! The boys are beautiful and I'm so glad to hear that they skipped NICU and that Lease is well. Looking forward to more pics and posts. Thanks for sharing this special part of your life with us too.

[tinawv]

I am sitting here looking at the pictures of your beautiful little boys and smiling and crying at the same time. Congratulations! :)

[abbybeth]

Just checking in to see how everyone is doing .... hope all is still well!

(and did anything arrive this week?:wizard:)

[MagicShell]

Congratulations on your beautiful boys. I am glad to hear that all are healthy.

[naomi78155]

The boys are adorable and they look so healthy. Congratulations!

[Code]

We are definitely overdue for an update!

First, I want to profusely thank Abbybeth, Abby's Dad, and Lynnielou for the awesome gifts they sent to the boys. Abby made three quilts that absolutely blow us away, they are amazingly well made and really adorable.. I'm sure the boys are going to love them! They were accompanied by three sock monkeys and a great handmade card. Everything has a monkey theme, which is appropriate as I'm sure they will be our three little monkeys.

http://code.smugmug.com/photos/531354361_uQytg-L.jpg

Fred, Lynn & Abby.. THANK YOU! We truly cherish your friendship and hope that someday you can meet the boys in person.

Second, I want to thank everyone for your congratulations. I don't have time to respond individually, but we have both read them all and they mean a great deal to us!

Now for babies updates!

When I posted the night of delivery, I said they would probably be coming home with mom, but that was jumping the gun. I brought Lease home five days after, but the boys have needed extra time in the nursery. It is a mixed blessing, though, as Lease was not in any shape to be up and around right when she got home. She has been recovering well, though, and has pretty good mobility now as long as she isn't on her feet too much at a time.

As I posted before, Andrew and Parker started in Lease's hospital room but ended up in the nursery with Nick the night they were born. Andrew and Nick were in isolettes for several days to help them regulate their temperature, and all three had sugar IVs, but by the time Lease came home, all three were in open air cribs and their IVs were out.

Since then, they have just been gaining strength and learning to feed & breathe at the same time. At first, all three would run out of energy and fall asleep very shortly into their bottles and have to be given the rest by feeding tube, but each day brought progress, and in the last two days they have all three been taking all/most of their bottles. Nick, who has been a bit behind his brothers, has made great strides in catching up in the past two days, which makes us very happy. The nurses talk about "turning the corner" before they can come home, and it really feels like they are starting to.

Picture time!

One more thing.. I know we have a few DIS Unplugged podcast listeners here. Be sure to check out this week's email show! I sent in a voicemail a few days before the boys were born, and they just played it :cool1:

For those that don't know what the DIS Unplugged is, it's a really great weekly podcast by the team that run the DIS.

http://podcast.wdwinfo.com/

and here's a direct link to this week's email show since they haven't updated the main page link yet:

[k_reile]

you both look very proud holding your 3 boys at one time! They won;t fit on your lap like that for much longer...enjoy it! I'm glad Lease is getting the extra time to help her heal before getting more and more involved with the boys everyday care! We too were in the hospital 2 days extra when Caleb was born due to Jaundice and he was in the incubator for those 2 days we felt that we got to catch up on our sleep and were ready to take care of him once we got home!

[sam517]

Thank you so much for sharing these pictures! I have tears in my eyes just looking at your beautiful family. I look forward to your updates and anticipate watching the boys grow up. Lease you look amazing!

[WDBRDWLK]

Congratulations of the healthy birth of your sons! As I read your report I laughed when I saw their birth date...we have friends who had triplets exactly 10 years ago to the day! April 29th must be magical!! (oops got the date wrong, sorry)

I have tears in my eyes each time I see those precious babies. And you and your wife look amazing!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO BOTH OF YOU!!!

Cindy

[kschafer]

Oh, what wonderful pictures, especially the family ones. It's so good to hear they are coming along so well. It is probably a little blessing that Lease has had some time to recover and start feeling stronger before bringing them all home.

the boys are beautiful!!

Happy Mother's Day Lease :flower3:

[torsie24]

Thank you for the pictures!!!! I have thought about you guys every day and I'm so over the moon to see all 5 of you going great!!

Those presents are amazing also!!

I'm glad Lease is feeling stronger and I hope she's back to full strength as soon as possible and that your 3 wonderful boys are all home very soon!

[Abby's Dad]

Thanks for the great update Code, but it is tough - each of the boys already has more hair than I do :rotfl2:. Love all the pics, but really glad to have one of the whole family - you all look great, It is amazing how natural both Code and Lease look holding all three boys.

So, have you started looking at colleges yet? You know we have some good ones here :rotfl:.

Oh, and we have every intention of meeting those boys in person - not to mention that we would be most happy to see their parents again :) . We too value your friendship. :grouphug:

Remember back during this trip when I slipped in some barrel full of monkeys references? Yes, that was a foretelling of what was in the works, and this was a lot of fun, and fortunately I have a wife and a daughter with talent.

Now that you all have had a little chance to rest up and recuperate a little, I know that you will be really looking forward to having the boys home, and I'm sure that the rest of us share that sentiment.

Keep up the good work!

[Eeyore's-tail-tack]

You have three of the cutest baby boys I have ever seen. What a beautiful family. Hope the boys make it home really soon. Take care and good luck.

[DisneyFreak06]

The boys are just adorable! I love the cute little toes picture. I am always amazed at how quickly parents can tell their multiples apart. Did you have little hints at first?

[lisalonglash]

Code: Thanks for taking the time to post pictures and update us - it's wonderful of you! :flower3:

Code & Lease: Honestly, you all look so wonderful! Your boys are absolutely adorable - so handsome! I'm sure you both must be just exhausted in every way, but your pictures don't show it!

Congratulations to you both, again! :woohoo:

[MeMom]

Happy Mother's Day Lease :flower3:

I was thinking the same thing. As hard as it would have been to leave them, she needed time to recuperate and let people 'baby' her some.

That was so sweet of you guys, and the finished products are so cute!
I'm so glad they shared your gifts with us!





Looks like everything is going great with the little guys. They will fill your house with love, laughter, and chaos in the years ahead.

Along with stinky socks, a variety of soccer balls, baseballs, footballs, and basketballs, and half-eaten sandwiches under their beds.

Life will be great!!! :thumbsup2:thumbsup2:thumbsup2

I smile with how you put this, because I can invision this - and it's GREAT! They have so much to look forward to, and I know that they will relish every bit of it. :banana::woohoo:

[winnapooh]

I've been lurking on your thread...I just wanted to say that your boys are absolutely beautiful! Congratulations :)

[accountingbabe08]

Your babies are precious little gifts from God. Enjoy every day with them because before you know it they will be turning 20.

[moparop]

Those boys are gorgeous! What an awesome little group of men!

Happy Mother's Day Lease!

[liltoot]

Cute little guys!! Can't wait to read their first Disney trip report. :cool1:

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

So sweet! Glad that everybody is doing well. :goodvibes

[MaceysMom]

Thank you for taking the time to show off your little ones! I think they are definitly a good mix of both of you.

Code the picture of you holding all three boys for the first time is precious! and the little toes!

Congrats again:banana:

[allison k]

How beautiful your little boys are. Isn't amazing how your heart can fill up with more love than you thought possible?

As someone who had both kids in in the NICU (DD 5 days and DS 32 days), I can sympathize with the feelings you're going through right now. Take advantage of the rest time you'll be able to get right now. I'm sure it's really helped Lease.

From what you've said, it sounds like they'll be home any day now! How exciting!!

[jessily]

Adorable photos! I heard your call in on the podcast and had to check in again to see if you had updated. The boys are beautiful!
