Sick Sick Sick

Posted on March 28, 2012 by triwithtriplets

Ugh – apologies for the lack of posts lately everyone has been sick. And I mean everyone. I was fighting something off the end of last week and into the weekend. Calder got sick last Thursday, Cam got sick Sat and Evie got sick Tuesday…and by sick I mean projectile vomit. To make matters worse the dog even barfed in the bed…luckily on my pillow so all I only had to change the pillow case. Jojo was sick early this week, my mom vomited, even my nana is sick. Ugh. Don’t come around my house unless you have a biohazard suit.

First Post Pregnancy Bike Race!

Posted on March 18, 2012 by triwithtriplets

Competed in my first post-pregnancy bike race today at the Bethel Spring Series – a series of criterium races held every spring about 40 minutes from my home. The day started out slightly overcast and pretty chilly but during the almost 20 mile/22 loop race the sun came out and everyone warmed up quickly. Luckily the pace was pretty controlled and there were no major attacks which made for a nice and gentle way to ease back into racing. I was able to lead one lap but spent most of the time in the pack conserving energy for the sprint finish. Unfortunately, I got stuck in traffic at the finish so was not able to finish well – but these races are just for fun, to get the legs going and work on bike skills for me.

Tod’s Point

Posted on March 15, 2012 by triwithtriplets

I absolutely love Tod’s Point down in Old Greenwich. It’s a perfect place to sun, sand, run, bike, row, etc..

JoJo and I took the babies there with the Runabout – I ran, Jojo in-lined and the babies loved it!

Shoots and Snot

Posted on March 3, 2012 by triwithtriplets

So the week started with Evie on the mend – but very snotty. She seems to have formed a gross habit of trying to lick it. Gross! Over the course of the week the boys, Tim and I also seemed to catch the cold which we all blamed on Jojo who brought it back from Shelton last week. I think she must feel guilty because throughout the week when the babies (read Cam) would wake in the middle of the night she would conveniently be up and ready to sweep him up and snuggle. Totally unnecessary, very thoughtful and much appreciated as I suffer through my own sinus hell.

Due to the sickness, we didn’t do much other than stay cooped up inside, wipe boogers, blow noses and I had a little time to work and work out. The babies also tried spaghetti – Campbell went absolutely bonkers over it!

Wednesday, Calder seemed to take a turn for the worse and his cough resembled a barking seal. I quickly took him to the walk-in round the corner and they gave him a steroid shot for croup. I think it did the trick as he slept soundly that night and woke to a normal sounding cough and was a bit perkier.

Friday, was the babies 10 month birthday! We celebrated by each baby having one on one time. Calder stayed home with my mom since he was still under quarantine. Campbell went to lap sit with Jojo and Evie and I headed into the city for our first shoot for Parents Magazine! It was a lot of fun! I got to spend some special one on one time with little miss, she loved being in front of the camera and hopefully we will have a special memento come June/July.
