We are moving in 2 weeks into an apartment closer to Brian’s work so he can walk to work while I am bedridden. Because he’s blind we had absolutely no choice in where we could move to; these are the only apartments this close. Unfortunately, these apartments charge $450 per animal in pet deposits, and […]

Someone mentioned the “minivan craze” to me today…see, that’s why I didn’t want one! But then again, how do you get three carseats into anything smaller? I just went from an Escort hatchback to a pickup truck, and now I’ve got a minivan! Don’t have any kids yet, don’t even look pregnant yet just extremely […]

Yes, yes, I know, I’m supposed to be expanding. But that’s in the tummy! Yesterday I put on a pair of sandals…brand new, just bought them in March. By the time I got home last night, they were so tight they felt like they were cutting off circulation. And all I’d been doing was sitting […]

I’ve felt all my babies, heard them moving, seen their pictures. Every time I move I can feel my uterus, even if the babies aren’t kicking. My bladder appears to have shrunk to the size of a grape, and I can’t shake this headache. I’ve wanted my own baby since I was about 12, deeply […]

I’ve heard recently that there is a tradition among Latin American families to pierce girls’ ears as soon as they are born. Some mothers even take their babies by the jeweler’s on the way home from the hospital. I don’t think I see anything wrong with getting a baby’s ears pierced, but if I have […]

I have been doing so much research about triplets since we found out there are three babies. I feel sometimes like I’m writing a term paper instead of having babies…only this is definitely more fun than a term paper! I’m thinking I may actually do something like that this fall while I’m laid up, though, […]

There is no way I’m going to be able to have these babies vaginally. This is fairly depressing for me, because I was so looking forward to a natural home birth. There’s only one doctor in town that will even consider doing triplets vaginally, and everybody else thinks he’s a little nuts. When you think […]

Hopefully the doctors will be able to tell the babies apart at birth. In other words, we’ll know who was Lefty and who was Sleepy. Since they are in separate sacs, they should stay in the same place and be identifiable. Plus, the later ultrasounds will be able to judge weight fairly accurately. Since it’s […]

Brian and I have been married for five years, and when we got married we said we would wait five years before having children. It worked out perfect, even though we started trying a year early. The first few months we were on the fertility drugs, my mother kept saying I was too young to […]

I guess it’s not too surprising that I’m already feeling the babies move. From what I’ve been reading, moms of multiples feel movement much earlier than moms of single babies. It’s not uncommon for twins to be felt around 12 weeks, and I would swear I’ve been feeling flutters since 10 weeks. I just love […]
