Three Lees in a Pod plus the Little Sprout: Father’s Day

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.

Father’s Day

I think that Gary had a very nice Father’s Day. It started out with some homemade peach waffles (good stuff if you’ve never tried it) . . . and some gifts from the kids:

Later that morning, we all went to church. Penelope did much better in the nursery and the big kids seemed to do well in Sunday School, even though Henry shed a few tears at first. I think that they’ve just about got the hang of everything.

Later that day we spent a lot of time outside, and ended the day with Gary grilling out steaks and corn on the cob -- and with some homemade peach cobbler. It was a really nice day and I think that we all enjoyed it. I wouldn’t mind at all if every weekend day was just like that.
