Three Lees in a Pod plus the Little Sprout: Left-Handed?

On June 25, 2008, at 30 weeks gestation, we welcomed our three Lees in a pod to our family. Piper was born at 12:36 p.m. weighing 3 pounds 2 ounces, Henry followed at 12:37 p.m. weighing 3 pounds 15 ounces, and Rosemary showed up last at 12:37 p.m. weighing 1 pound 14 ounces. On August 2, 2008, Piper came home from the NICU at what would have been 35 weeks and 3 days of gestation weighing 4 pounds 15 ounces. On August 7, 2008, Henry followed and came home at what would have been 36 weeks and 1 day of gestation weighing 6 pounds. Finally, on August 16, 2008, at what would have been 37 weeks and 3 days gestation, Rosemary came home weighing 4 pounds 4 ounces. On August 10, 2010, at 39 weeks and 4 days gestation, we welcomed Penelope to our family. She was born at 12:35 p.m. weighing 7 pounds 14.8 ounces. On August 13, 2010, she and her mama came home from the hospital on the same day, with Penelope weighing in at 7 pounds 4 ounces.

Left-Handed?

When I was watching the babies eat their breakfast this past Saturday morning, I noticed that Piper used both her right and left hands to eat. Henry and Rosemary, however, only used their left hands to eat. Gary and I are both right-handed, and neither of us can think of anyone in our families that are left-handed. I wonder what the chances are that we end up with at least two lefties?

Love the new photos - too cute :) I thought Andrew was left handed too for a while, he favored his left and then used both hands to color, but he switched to right when he was about three. Glad to see Gary is a convert to the neighborhood pool! We spent many many happy hours doing the same. Can't wait to see you guys...Cindy; May 9, 2009 at 9:19 AM
