Hi!


Hi everyone! I just wanted to report we're all doing great! I've been wanting to write a post/post more photos but life is a *little* busy right now. Everything is going well. Babies are eating and growing (Adelyn is a little chunker-you should see her!! lol.) little guy Quincy is growing and Ellie is growing but is still super light compared to her brother and sister. Still continuing to pump milk for babies - having to freeze a ton of it. We need to buy a seperate freezer we're realizing actuallly. Funny, but true. I figure we'll need it later becasue I don't know how I will keep up when the babies are drinking 8 ounces each!

I'm trying to stay on top of my facebook messages and emails but I'm not doing the greatest job. So, thank you to those who have written us and if I don't write/call/fb back right away don't be offended please! Of course you understand.

We've taken the babies out a few times already - something I thought I'd never do for at least several months! We've been out to breakfast twice when my dad, step mom and sister were here, to the pediatrician (for weights/first appointment two days after they came home), to dinner once, to frozen custard once - might as well have put us behind a glass and advertised "COME SEE THE TRIPLET FREAK SHOW!" haha but it was fun...and yesterday we went with Clints mom and a friend, Taylor, to the lake front for a walk and some fresh air. We took bottles with us and just walked slowly (because that all I can do right now) on a path near the water. It was so nice out!

Today I'm having a fellow triplet mom I know come over to help with a feeding or two. I haven't seen here babies since they were about 6 or 7 months old and they just turned a year last month. She has BGG, same as us and lots of great advice so I'm looking forward to hanging out with her :)

Lots of people have asked what our needs are. If you live in Milwaukee we could use the most help with feedings during the day (between 9 AM and 3 PM), easy meals and walking/running Caleigh our pup. We would love and appreciate any help. Please email me (or Clint) - its the best way to reach me and actually get a response or you could try to call but I will admit I'm not the best at returning phone calls. I don't check facebook often and I don't get those messages sent to my phone...only comments or wall posts I think so several days may go by without a response to those messages.

Well, for now I'm going to transfer everyone from their bouncy seats back to their crib and I'm going to go back to bed myself to get some extra sleep but I hope to be better about posting.

xo, Rach

Happy birthday Ellie, Adelyn and Clinton!

Daddy holding Adelyn - he's a natural and pro! Clint would go back and forth from the nursery and NICU to report back to me on the babies while in recovery and afterward. He was so great about taking photos and showing me each baby. It still seems surreal. I don't know how else to describe it. We're parents now after so long and I just cannot believe the love I have for these three tiny miracles! I even asked Clint today while holding Adelyn "are you sure WE get to take them home?" lol. It just feels right to have them here. Thanks to God for his provision during the pregnancy, c-section and now for these little lives! It's incredible. I think its still sinking in! We were able to see Adelyn immediatly after they cleaned and bundled her. Ellie and Clinton were taken to the NICU for furhter evaluation. After Clint got to hold Adelyn and I was able to see her while on the table they took her to the special care nursery. It was amazing to see the bab...

The triplets are here!!!

Hello everyone, Just a quick note to let everyone know that Rachel gave birth to the triplets this morning at 11:31 AM by C-section. Two beautiful girls and a handsome little boy! Everyone seems to be doing well. In order of birth: 1. Adelyn Claire Wood - 4 lbs, 14 ounces - 18 inches. 2. Ellie Marin Wood - 4 lbs, 4 ounces - 17.25 inches. 3. Earl Clinton Wood V - 4 lbs, 12 ounces - 17.5 inches. Adelyn went straight to the nursery and is doing very well. Ellie and Clinton (we may call him Quincy) went to the NICU due to some respiratory issues but are not intubated and not requiring oxygen, only a CPAP. Rachel is still recovering but doing fairly well too. More information to come as we receive it. Thank you for all your prayers and support, and please keep praying that these little guys will grow stronger and continue to do well. Love, Clint & Rachel + Adelyn, Ellie, and Clinton
