Let me first start by saying this: the babies turned 5 months old yesterday! Wow, has time flown! The catch is, since they were born 10 weeks early, developmentally, they won't be 3 months old until next week. So in reality, we expect them to act and look more like 3 month olds than 5 month olds. Make sense?
OK - so here's the story. Friday, Saturday and Sunday night, all three babies slept through the night! Hooray! Well, let me qualify that...Haley woke up at 5:30, but that's close enough! So we're thinking we're on easy street, right? FINALLY! Three babies sleeping through the night for 3 nights in a row - that's gotta be a record! I'm calling it "Miracle on the Crib Sheets".
So what's the problem, you ask? Well, Haley was up ALL night last night. By 3:00am I think Jeff had been up 6 times already. He finally gave up and fed them at 6:00am because she had managed to wake everyone up by that point. They normally sleep through her tantrums, but I think they were fed up, too!
So I'm thinking - no problem. She had a bad night. We all have bad nights every once in awhile, right? WRONG. I went home for lunch today only to have the nanny inform us that Haley has a tooth! You heard me...A TOOTH! Haley was asleep when she told us this, so I have yet to see for myself...but what the heck?! THREE nights of sleep is all we get after all we've been through?! THREE nights????? AAAARGGGHHH! This is a sick, sick joke and I AM NOT LAUGHING!!!!!!
Now, many gaga parents are so excited over their child's first tooth, but I am not that parent. As far as I'm concerned, they can gum at their smashed up peas and carrots until they start Kindergarten. Then they can get some teeth so the other kids don't laugh at them.
So, I'm leaving work and going straight home to stick my finger in her mouth. I'll let you know the verdict. Maybe it's a false alarm. Maybe she has a dense callous from sucking on that dang pacifier...
Haley, can you say, uh oh?

These little ones are unbelievable. Every time we read to catch up on the hustle and bustle of triplets, we are amazed at what we read. A tooth already? It just doesn't seem like it's time for that. Go Haley!
Your little wonders are awesome!
