This G rated blog has a quirky name, part of our efforts to inform consumers. The idea behind using the word “undressed” is transparency. To undress something is to expose it, or make it transparent. The naked truth would be another way of saying it. This blog has been created by Heather McCann, a mother of triplets +1 and Cindy Lowman, a mother of twins. All 5 multiples were born at the University Of Washington in Seattle, Washington. This blog is intended for all mothers of multiples to read and contribute their stories, advice and frustrations! We hope you enjoy our blog!

I received this recipe from my friend Lynn Carrigan.  It’s a great way to get dinner or breakfast on the table in a flash!  AND each person can customize their omelete!  It’s a great way to get children involved in meal prep.

Imagine having these ready the night before, and putting the bag in boiling water while you get ready. And in 15 minutes, you’ve got a nice omelet for a quick breakfast!!! 

  1. Take a quart-size Ziploc bag for each omelete you are going to make
  2. Label each bag with a person’s name
  3. Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the bag (not more than 2). 
  4. Shake to combine them.
  5. Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa, etc.
  6. Each person adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag and shake. Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up.
  7. Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 – 15 minutes.  You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot. For more, make another pot of boiling water.
  8. Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily. Be prepared for everyone to be amazed.

On March 16, 2007, I welcomed three tiny miracles into my life.  Hailey, Andrew, and Molly were born at just 24 1/2 weeks, weighing less than 2 lbs. each. 

 Hailey was born first, weighing 1 lb, 8oz.  She was the sweetest little baby, quiet, content, and happy to study the world around her.  She spent her earliest days quietly taking in the sights, figuring things out, and occasionally giving her parents a scare.   Today, she’s just the same only a little spunkier!  She loves her big sister and has proven that slow and steady wins the race!

Molly Eileen

Molly, the smallest of the 3, was only 15 oz.  She spent 7 1/2 months in the hospital, traveling between NICUs at the University of Washington Medical Center and Seattle Children’s Hospital.  Molly underwent three surgeriesand took me on a journey that has changed my life.  After a year of fighting feeding issues, weekly physical and occupational therapy, and many visits to the doc, she’s eating, walking, and making her way in this world.

 
Andrew Quinn

Andrew, the big one of the bunch, weighed 1 lb, 13 oz, and was a fighter from the start.  After a strong start, he quickly took a turn for the worse and found himself at Seattle Children’s Hospital, where he spent 7 1/2 weeks recovering from a lung condition that nearly took his life.  After returning to the UW, he continued the roller coaster ride, but came out a champ in the end.
Each one of them had different challenges, but all three of them overcame the obstacles they faced and today, they keep me on my toes with their mischief, curiosity, and love of life.  Big sister Megan helps me keep them entertained and sometimes out of trouble.  Having triplets is certainly no walk in the park, but seeing my children living life despite the odds against them, makes me realize that no matter what, we must appreciate that which we can have and do, rather than want for that which we cannot!  There is no great miracle than the miracle of life, for it changes the rest of us in how we live!
