When we checked in with Lauren this month, we couldn't believe the girls are already nine months old! They are crawling, laughing, and are continuing to develop personalities (and nicknames) of their very own. In Lauren's words:

Things are going really well with us! The girls are getting sooo big and really keeping us on our toes. Life here is getting very interesting and fun! They are becoming extremely active, all three have started eating solid food, are beginning to sit up on their own, and the twins are trying to crawl, but haven't mastered it yet!

 This month, we're switching up The Baby Diaries and instead, focusing on how new mom Lauren is doing. We checked in with her during a particularly cold and snowy week to see how she was handling cabin fever and feelings of guilt when she does manage to sneak out of the house to run errands.

This month, we received another adorable picture (click to enlarge) from Gianna, Sophia and Olivia (through their mom, Lauren, of course). This month’s photo is their holiday card photo and boy, we’re not sure how Lauren and her husband, Joe, will top it next year!

When we checked in with Lauren this month, we received an email back accompanied by this ADORABLE photo, which we couldn't wait to share with you all! In addition to asking about the goings-on with the girls, we also asked Lauren for some advice on how she got ready for (and what to expect) with multiple births. Here's what she said:

We thought Lauren and Joe could use an extra hand; after all there are three babies and only two of them! So Jo popped in on Lauren for a visit, and to lend a helping hand! Jo was totally in her element – surrounded by babies! And the babies seemed to be on their best behavior. Lauren fills us in:

When we checked in with Lauren and Joe this month they sounded a little more confident and comfortable juggling life with three new babies. Our team also went ga-ga when we saw this month's picture of three beautiful, growing girls! Lauren and Joe filled us in on what their life has been like over the past month.

26-year-old Lauren and her husband are expecting triplet girls this summer. When they first heard the news, Lauren remembers being in shock. "I looked at the sonogram and there's one, two, THREE! We couldn't believe it!" While both the mom and dad-to-be are excited, they're also a little nervous about how they're going to handle three babies at once. Reaching out for advice, Lauren contacted the Rachael Ray show, where Rachael decided Lauren needed a little more than just advice … she needed SUPERNANNY!
