Our triplets and nursery

       It's have been a long time I did not write in the blog (I do not know why ... Maybe because I am a visual and for me much easier to perceive information through pictures, and that's why now I'm active Instagramer?) omorfi5 it is my instagram

        But back to the topic story: from the day I registered my own first blog about kids, they were less than one-year-old, I was also looking to read about older children in other mom's blogs to be prepared. But I found out when children growing older - moms usually stop to write! I do not want to be one of them :) I will try to continue to share my experience.

This time I would like to write about our kindergarten story.

One day from our life in swimming pool, Cyprus.

One day from our life in Cyprus. Want to show you one of our days witch we spend in swimming pool. It's amazing to have swimming pool in your yard! Swimming is very useful! and will make your body slim.

By the way pictures was made 19 of May ! A lot of what I want to show you. As we drove into the mountains, the waterfalls and the gorge Avakas, and just beautiful beaches of Cyprus.

Carefully as always a lot of photos)))

Babies feeding without pain in stomach

In this post I would like to tell you about how we used to feed our children when they were very small. May be my experience will be useful for somebody. Also I will put it here just for history...

I started to have milk on on 14th day after giving the birth. Yes, I am from those who think that breasts feeding is the best but in my case we mixed. And had to start from artificial milk. We used HIPP. When my milk finally appeared we started to give it for children but still used baby bottles. 6 months we mixed my milk with the milk mixture,. But here was a problem. We have 3 children who want to eat in the same time but 2 hands and 2 parents only. And we found that if you use good quality bottles with hard nipples from which the milk does not run away itself, then it is safe and effective to let babies to eat themselves. Put something under the bottle to be in a right position. When a child will be full it will just turn the head in another side. The bottle will fall away but important it will remain dry because of quality nipple, the child can sleep sweet. Did not get the idea? Take a look on the photos. If sill not - ask me in comment :)

Flight with triplets babies 2 years old

Our story of traveling with small babies. Not simple but with triplets 2 years old girls. The described here trip was our first one with them abroad. 5 hours before flight, 3 hours of the flight itself and finally 2 hours -  the way from airport to a hotel. So, totally 10 hours on the way - was a challenge for 2 adults to manage 3 babies...

Well, I think I have to start my story from the very beginning to make things clear and bring the full picture. So, the post going to be long what is unusual for me :)
We used most cheap flights available but direct - in our case it was Ukrainian International Airlines  PS341-342 Kiev Borispol - Larnaca.

Our flight tickets

Regarding tickets. To buy online is cheaper. To buy online on american site is even cheaper than directly from Ukrainian International Airlines! We traveled by economy class but the service was very good. So, PS341-342 is direct and in the same cheapest flight from Ukraine to Cyprus. In the Spring 2013 in addition - was the only direct one.
We are not from Kiev so have to get to airport first and it's not very near for us ~ 200km.
If flight time 9AM, we have to be before 2 hours in airport, means at 7AM and 2 hours for the way to there - then 5AM is a time when we have to leave from home. At 4 AM is to get up. I put kids in their bed as usual at 10 PM and 11 PM went to bed myself but my husband needed to work. When I got up in 3 AM he was still working.... At 3:30 AM my father came. He has to bring  us to airport. KIds did not want to get up. They did not want to wear diapers. I was hesitating if it is right to let them to wear trousers for a such a long way but still allowed them.

At 4AM we started to put the luggage into the car. Started to wear the girls. It was cold that time in Ukraine (2 April 2013) Jeans ordinary tights underneath, on top of a jacket with long cuff and said overcoat. Put shoes on the feet. And we was not wearing hats. Roads are very bad in Ukraine, especially after winter. Thats why we decided to went out early. We arrived well! Kids slept almost the whole way, except for Victoria. She fell asleep at the end of the way. In 7AM we were in the airport. Temperature outside was -2 °C.

But our babies clothes were warm enough :)
7:30AM - we loaded our suitcases on a cart. I love to travel with small luggage. And for all our travels we had enough just one our purple bag (pictured). usually we fill only half of it and leave space for souvenirs. Once we traveled even with smaller bag. It was the first trip to Turkey - we had enough gray handbag for 7 days 2 adults of summer clothes. This time everything was different. We were going to travel for 3 months with 3 babies. As a result, we've got four bags in the luggage and 2 carry-on bags in the bag with the camera, my handbag and 3 backpacks for girls.

My triplets daughters birthday is 23rd of April, and next day 24th in 2011th year was Easter - biggest Christian holiday in Orthodox church in difference from Catholics who count Christmas to be the biggest holiday.

My husband Maxim with his sister Kate and her husband Andrew went to the church for the night service and I stayed home with the children. But previous Easter I also was on night service being pregnant with triplets on 33rd week of pregnancy and I gave birth two weeks later after that...

From the night service they came back at 4 AM. Took some rest. Then all the family gathered together to celebrate the biggest holiday! Girls were accepting congratulations. Grandpa and Grandma brought 23 roses.

My recomendations for young parents. Baby Steps Activity Walker by Chicco

We bought only one the toys mention in the title because we don't have enough space for 3 in our flat. Also it's too difficult to catch 3 babies at ones. Actually babies used it only few month.

We liked quality of the product and its design. In the same time the babies liked different things :) They liked to play with it.
We learned to walk fast with it! Maria started to walk in1 year and 1 month, Anna - 1 year and 2 month, Victoria - 1 year and 3 month.

Young mom's handmade. Hair bands for babies

I decided to make a kiddies hair bands on his head for their birthday.

I did not guess with a color, that's why I made another try.
Kids loved their hair bands, especially liked to take them off after 3 seconds))))

It's so big pleasure to do something by own hands for babies. And also it's more chip then just to buy.

This how my first try looked like -->

This photo become a tittle of photo-book, Handmade hair band

Final look for birthday -->

This white hair band i made for Birthday look

How much I gained during pregnancy? Or my belly is a hero!

Everyone is very curious how much I gained during pregnancy.

Till  to 2 months tummy was small!!! After that the belly began to grow. And that's over a 5-month baby's pretty grown up and everyone thought that I was soon to give birth )))

For the entire pregnancy I gained 17 kg. With my pre-pregnancy weight 45 kg.

 All the weight went to the abdomen so that why the skin became very spread out. And so far I can not say goodbye to this ((( Even after 3 years my skin looks not good (((

I would also like to say a few words about a belt. I hit 2 in 1 that before the birth and then change it back to what was to become the front. During pregnancy, I did not wear it very often I felt comfortable and did not need anything. But after the birth of the COP could not imagine how you would do without it. Each time before I get up, I where the belt.  And then my mom bought me "postpartum belt", the smallest size))) Because my "belt 2 in 1" become too big for me.

My skin on stomach was burned  with iodine (((  I smeared the cream belly every day.

 

33 weeks of triplets pregnant

Looking at my belly I understand that it is a hero and I'm a mother of three beautiful children.
 
It's just a small thing compared to what we have received from God!
