Being a mommy of 5
As of this Wednesday I will have officially been a mommy of 5 for 11 weeks. Time has just flown! I was thinking today about some things and in my "spare time" I decided to figure out some stats about having triplets. I thought they were interesting enought to share.
Every morning I like to prepare all the bottles for the day. Each morning I make 18 bottles. This adds up to 126 bottles per week or approximately 530 bottles per month. As I prepare the bottles I mix up about 78 oz of formula for the day. This is approximately an entire can of the Enfamil formula that they are on which costs $13.25 per can. This adds up to 545 oz of formula or $92.75 a week. If you want to be really shocked that would be 2340 oz of formula or $411 per month. Shocking!
At each feeding, each baby gets changed. That is 18 diapers a day, or $3.98 assuming that each diaper costs about $.22 each. This adds up to 126 diapers and $27.72 per week and 558 diapers and $122.76 per month.
I give the girls baths about twice a week at this point. That equals 6 baths a week, and 24 a month.
Along with all these diaper changes and bath times, I figure that I snap and re-snap outfits approximately 96 times per day! That equals about 672 snaps per week and 2976 per month. That's a lot of snaps!
The next statistic is based on our entire family. A couple weeks ago I wanted to see exactly how much laundry I was doing so I kept track. In order to keep up with all the laundry (not even get ahead, mind you..there was still always clothes to be washed) I did approximately 3 loads a day or 21 loads a week! This of course would equal 93 loads of laundry per month. Don't even get me started on the laundry soap!
I know this was silly and maybe a waste of my time, but I was curious about all these things and thought that someone might be interested. Although, I don't even know if anyone reads this, I update it so infrequently. Oh well, it's time to go feed babies again!
