Grab yourself a cup of coffee, put your feet up, relax! Enjoy a few minutes of Triplet Mayhem, and please don't forget the other two!

Did You Know....?

Triplets represent about one in every 10,000 births. (Twins are about one in every 60 births!)
Newborn triplets and a 1 year old generate about 1200 diapers a month.
Triplets are almost always pre-mature. (Mine were 7 weeks early! It gets crowded in there!)
Formula, unfortunately, is not available by the gallon.

Just a Few Personal Facts

I actually have five kids! Two boys, three girls.

My triplets are all girls....although I don't usually refer to them as "Triplets", because, to me, it always sounds like a matched luggage set!

The girls were 7 weeks early, weighing 4 lb 10 oz, 4 lb 4 oz, and 2 lb 2 oz.

Two of my duaghters are identical,(the two smaller ones) the other is not.

I'm Going To Have WHAT?

I guess one never forgets the day they are told "We have a bit of news for you!" There I was, in one of those elegant hospital gowns, having an ultra-sound, when the doctor said that very phrase to me!

Of course my reply was "Oh, no.....I'm going to have twins!" Little did I know! I have very little recollection of my reaction when the doctor smiled and held up three fingers!

All I know, was that I completely forgot how to dress myself! I had to ask the nurse to help me!
