Three Lees in a Pod plus the Little Sprout: Our Easter Finest

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.

Our Easter Finest

In addition to being surprised by a visit from the Easter bunny, we were surprised when Nana and Papa said they could come visit us on Easter! We met Nana and Papa at the Botanical Gardens, with the kids dressed in their Easter outfits. The babies were really excited to see Nana and Papa at the Gardens. We all had a great time -- and I got some great photos!!

Did I see on Gary's website the new baby girl name?; April 7, 2010 at 7:34 PM
Heather said...: Hey, Lindsey! Rosemary is getting bigger! She's still smaller than Piper, but the difference is not so much now. . . . And yes, we have a name for the baby girl -- Penelope. :) I think it suits her perfectly!; April 7, 2010 at 9:12 PM
Lindsey Wolfe said...: That is so sweet Heather! Love Penelope! My mom's name is Penny and is always asked if her name is Penelope... but it isn't. ha! Will you call her Penny or anything short?

I can't wait to see new baby pictures! So exciting!

I was just looking at your pictures again... it seems like Piper is your tomboy and Rosemary is your girly girl. Am I right or is my imagination getting away from me?; April 8, 2010 at 3:40 PM
Heather said...: I'm not sure if we're going to call her Penny or not. We plan on calling her Penelope, but if a nickname or shorter version of her name ends up sticking we're not opposed to that, either!

You have pegged my girls. Rosemary is such my girly girl, and Piper is a little clueless on such things (sort of like her Mama). Rosemary can almost dress herself and has very specific ideas on when she wears shoes and when she doesn't. She also toddles around in my heels when I get home at night. Piper, on the other hand, has to be held down to be dressed in the morning. :); April 9, 2010 at 11:03 AM
