Three Lees in a Pod plus the Little Sprout: Feeding the Ducks

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.

Feeding the Ducks

We went to the pediatrician on Saturday morning when Piper and Rosemary woke up with 100+ degree fevers, and found out that they have double ear infections. We stayed close to home on Saturday, and let the kids sleep in on Sunday. They eventually felt well enough on Sunday that we went to Aldridge Gardens for about an hour. We had some stale bread, so we took that along to feed the ducks. Unfortunately, there was just one mean goose that seemed interested in the bread.

Although the goose was interested in the bread, the goose was not so interested in the kids and started hissing at them. Rosemary had the good sense to steer clear of the goose. Henry simply ran from the goose when it started hissing. Piper, on the other hand, walked right up to the goose, pointed her finger in its face, and said, “No no duck!!”

Luckily, Gary stepped in and rescued her before the “duck” got her finger.
