Appointment next Tuesday

Matthew has an appointment next Tueday at Orthopedic Services to have his head shape evaluated. They will determine if they want to start the banding (helmet) process right away, or give it some more time. Anna Kate's head had been a little misshapen-but hers is much better.

This week is going to be spent getting ready to travel to Massachusetts. We will be leaving next Saturday. I am sure it will be an adventure!

I was just thinking that it was a year ago this week that we found out we were expecting triplets. Our family has experienced many emotions this past year. We are thankful for the two wonderful children he has given us to raise on earth and our precious son we will get to see again in heaven. Many of you have been here to support us during this past year and we truly appreciate it. I will try to take some photos this week to post!

Sponsor our Walk

Our family of four (and anyone else who wants to join us) will be participating in the March of Dimes fundraising walk at the end of April. Our family goal is to raise $250. Brent and I decided this would be a great thing to do as a family each year. We can walk not only in memory of Andrew, but also in celebration of the two beautiful children we still have with us.

If you would like to sponsor our team, you can go to www.marchforbabies.com/scturnertwins or click on the banner at the top of the blog.

I haven't made the page look all "pretty" yet, but it will serve the purpose.

We take Matthew back to have his head checked this Tuesday. We will probably end up going for a scan to have a helmet made. Please pray that it will be covered by insurance. I will try to post later in the week to let everyone know of the outcome!

Getting Bigger Every Day

The kids had their well-check this week. Although they are seven months now-this was their 6month check up. The doctor was very pleased with their progress. Anna Kate was 13lbs 5 oz and Matthew was 15lb 50z. Both kids can now roll from their stomach to their back and are drooling like crazy! Anna Kate had decided she likes to suck on her hand. Just this morning Grampy said he woke up to hear her sucking away! Both kids have a great disposition and literally wake up smiling! I hope to be able to post some of the Easter photos we had taken in the next week or so.

A busy month

Wow-I didn't realize it has been a month since our last post. We have been very busy! The kids had a visit from their Aunt Beth and some of their cousins over the Presidents' Day weekend. Sadly, I had to fly to Massachusetts for a funeral. It was a quick trip, but I was glad Beth was here as an extra set of hands while I was gone. When I got home, Matthew wasn't acting like himself and we ended up at the doctor. His fever was just under 102, but the doctor said it was viral. It turned into a lot of congestion and coughing which was quickly passed on to Anna Kate.

Both kids started feeling better just in time for our mini-snow storm. We got about 2 inches of snow last weekend. But, before the snow started, we lost power last Sunday. So, Brent hooked up the generator and we used electric heaters in the bed rooms. "Camping" inside might have been fun if Anna Kate didn't scream all night. Monday morning school was cancelled and the doctor's office didn't open until noon. When we got there, we found what I had expected-she has her first ear infection. She finally seems to be feeling better-so we are thankful for that!

Nana has been good about taking some pictures-so they are all thanks to her!
