It's official, I'm setting up a new blog. Once I've got it all set up and pretty, I'll let you know the logistics of how to find it. I'm not going to leave a direct link here for how to find it, but I'll have Mel post the direct link in the Lost and Found. You can also email me directly for the link. If you're an anonymous lurker (one of my AWESOME ONES!) I hope you'll still email me for the link or find me over at Mel's. I love you guys and I don't want to lose you. I promise to lose your email address and forget who you are immediately… I've got so much else going on in my life, I wouldn't be able to remember anyway.
Anyway, I had two incidents happen recently (which had nothing to do with the anonymous commenting sh*tstorm of a couple days ago, though that didn't help matters) which just pushed things over the edge. I'd say what those incidents were, but it would just lead to hurt feelings and there's really no point in that, now is there.
In the meantime, here's some news:
Sam-man: He has a tooth. His opthalmology appointment went well – we'll keep an eye on it (no pun intended) and he'll go back in six months. He's seriously mobile, though he still can't sit up. It's not true crawling, but we're not far from that.
Ellie-bean: She is still toothless (thank HEAVENS…she bites me while nursing even WTHOUT teeth). She sits really nicely and is also seriously mobile – again, not true crawling, but that's not far away.
Abba-dabba: Still has two teeth. She is the least mobile, but not because she's not capable of it… just because she is more content to sit and play with a toy. She is starting to have some serious stranger anxiety, poor thing.
And that's it for now.
Sorry to hear about your anonymass commenter. I liked your replies. Don’t know if I would have been so polite. I thought you were very restrained!I’m SURE you don’t have time for such things as reading books right now, but in case you do, or in case someone close to you who can give you a synopsis does, I wanted to tell you about this one: The Boy Who Was Raised As a Dog: And Other Stories from a Child Psychiatrist’s Notebook: What Traumatized Children Can Teach Us About Loss, Love and Healing by Bruce D. Perry. [sorry, I am new to all this and don’t know how to make it a link :-(]You might already know about it, or not find it useful at all, but I thought it was worth mentioning. I found it quite enlightening to read about how VERY early trauma in a child’s life can affect their WHOLE development, and what can be done to repair the damage.I wish you well in your journey to heal J. And I am glad you are not daunted by what anyone else thinks. YOU’RE the one doing the job!!
Can I come too? I hope it’s a pretty place filled with flowers and hypo allergenic puppies (that really ARE hypo allergenic…) In any regard, change is good right?! That’s what everyone I know tells me!! I typically tell them to go shove it though… I HATE change. despise it even. And tell those darn kidlets to stop growing up so danged fast… I can just BARELY keep up. eesh. π
Kinda anonymous lurker, but a friend of Jess’. I would love to keep up with you – please email me your new link. I tried the email link but I’m at work and my Outlook freaked out and our network…..argh. You don’t care about my IT issues :)Catch me at polarboogie@yahoo.com.
I just wanted to tell you how awesome I think you are for nursing triplets for so long. I’m only nursing one and since he was 6 months old (he is almost 10 months) I have been asked when I am going to wean. I can only imagine what you probably hear from people. You rock.
i am pretty sure that you have my email, but if you need it again let me know!
So sorry about the jerks who spray their opinions across the ether. Could you tell us who Mel is? I’m not familiar with a lost and found for blogs. and please let me know where the new blog is.thx
Pretty sure you’ve got mine too… BTW Yirmi is biting me and he’s not 3 months old yet. And it hurts!
I love your blog. Send me the link at my e-mailCrazydreamz0607@hotmail.comor My blog @The Crazy Adventures of a Wommy
Hi there – here via nacomleavmo.Sounds like i just caught you. Sorry about your anonymous commenter. Very upsetting.You must have your hands extremely full – not sure how you have TIME to leave comments or even blog!!xx
Hi Karen,I’ve been reading your blog for a little while now, but I’m a terribly nervous commenter… so I haven’t had the guts to comment. Anyhoo, I’d love to read your new blog if you don’t mind. My email is melanie1422 AT gmail.com.Thanks!
Abby sounds just like my Gaby. I was worried about her for a while and even had her checked out for Autism (mostly because it is advertised so much these days). While the others were going everywhere she would lay on her tummy and pick at the carpet. Now I know it is just her personality. She still perfers to sit on my lap or play with a toy instead of run laps around the house. Glad I got one of them at least. Incidently she scored higher developmentally than the other 2. When you do move, let me know, I want to come too.Cadi
I’m dropping by for NaComLeavMo – Hi! :)I read a few of your recent posts … man, you’ve had a crazy week for sure! I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with unfriendly comments but I think you handled it quite well (better than I would have). I’m glad that you’re feeling better now and I do hope those kiddos sleep for you while your husband is out of town!
I am so sorry about that commenter! You did a good job following up too. I’m here from NCLM, and hope that you’ll have better luck on your new site! Once NCLM is over (I’m limiting myself while this is going on), I’ll try to find you! π
I’m at the ready whenever you have the new space ready for visitors.
Karen. . .Sorry you’ve been having a crappy time. =(Be sure to email me the new blog address!

Thanks for the update on the kiddies. I can’t belive that they are moving around and cutting teeth. Where does the time go??!! (Sunrise, sunset…)I’ll email you foe the new blog, or just go check out Mel… Thanks for the warning, I would hate to miss you!Sounds like you got through the week- I’m so happy to hear.
Hi from NCLM!So sorry that you have to leave your blog & start a new one…I enjoy your blog & would love for you to email me the link when you get set-up.Take care!
Seems to be a spate of ignorant anonymous commenters lately . . .Sorry some people can’t seem to play nice. Hope all goes well with setting up the new blog and that you are not feeling as overwhelmed as you have been. NCLM
Been reading your blog since you were about 14 weeks along. Ignore that ignorant anonymous. Wow try saying that fast 3 times!!I also wanted to say I’ve nominated you for an award. Check my blog for details.
So sorry you’ve had blog issues that are causing you to have to move. That’s no fun!(via NCLM)
Sorry you are having to change blogs just because of a few people. That really sucks. But congrats on your triplets. I am visiting for NCLM and read part of your story! I think you’re doing an amazing job with all you’ve got on your plate! Best of luck in the future!
I’m also not familiar w/the lost and found thingy (and Mel for that matter), but check your blog daily. I’ll email you in the hopes you’ll send the new link…Best Regards.
ViaNaComLeavMo…It sucks that you have to move. I moved my blog to a more anonymous setting because of starting a teaching career, and it was a complete pain because I didn’t want to loose my archives. It took forever to copy them!Keep blogging, you write beautifully, certainly better than I could with as much to do as you have!
I’m in the process of moving my blog due to a “security breach.” It sucks! I’m looking forward to reading more of your “story.” It sounds like your J may have similar issues as my 5 year old. Although new, I’d love to follow you when you move. sparklykatt at yahoo dot com
Can you include me in on the emailing of the new link? Pretty please??vhmprincess AT gmail.com
You know I need the new link. Hope to see you at the end of the month!
Thanks for letting us know where to find you.As crazy as your life has to be right now, you will someday look back at the happy, healthy, well-balanced kids that you raised, and you will be soooo proud of yourself that you survived this time, and that they thrived, even when you thought you were being less than perfect.
Hey – I was away for a week and missed a lot. sorry you had a rough week, and an asshole commenter. the picture of you looks great!I will look forward to the new blog.
Sorry you’re having to take this drastic step. I hope we can still find you. π
I’m sorry you’ve had issues with anonymous commenters too. Would love the link to your new blog: ela.beach AT gmail.comCheers, Ela.
Man, I’m offline for few days and look…I’m sorry to hear about the comments. People tend to speak/write without thinking or think that the annonymity of the net means all is okay.
Hope I can find the new site too!
Hello – sorry that icky things have forced you to decide to move. However, I am so happy that you are willing to let us follow along. I would love to be allowed to follow along with you and your family. The photos make me smile (and my 17 month old niece loves to see the babies!) If so…gingerelliott@gmail.com.
The crappy anonymous commenter is an asshat. So sorry you had to deal with that crap!I am sure you have my e-mail address.I can’t believe there are teeth already. Weren’t you just pregnant??? LOL. Amazing how time flies.

Sorry to hear that you’ve had some problems. Honestly anyone who doesn’t think you have the right to complain and vent and be frustrated, isn’t really living in reality. And honestly…I didn’t think what you were saying was even complaining much!! It was a very well put together rant!! Many people don’t realize that when you are a parent…being able to vent your frustrations to someone, whether its your spouse or your friends or your blog…it helps to get it out and allow the negative energy out and leave you feeling fresh and ready for the next step. If the negative is gone that leaves a lot more room for the good stuff π And with kids…there’s always lots of good stuff coming up :)I’ve been reading since I read on another blog that you had just found out you were having triplets and of course I had to come raed along on your amazing ride. I’ve commented a few times about some of your nursing posts, but since I don’t have fertility issues I don’t feel comfortable butting in too much there. But I’d love to follow along…especially since your such a nursing success story and say you plan to do it all again!! I’ve breastfed 3 babies(one at a time though) and am just weaning my 3rd baby this week at 20 months. So I can really appreciate how had you work and I really admire that. I recently figured out how to post from my google account, but I’m not sure if I’ve posted here since or if it was just anon posts before.
