Our Ordinary Miracles

We are quite the spectacle when we go out. We can't make it very far at all without getting stopped for people to see the babies. A lot of mothers of multiples get very annoyed at this but I really don't mind. Most people are very nice so we patiently answer all the questions and sign autographs while the babies smile adorably. It's strange - on the very rare occasion when I go somewhere with just one baby and nobody stops and stares, it just feels so boring!
Common Comments:
You have your hands full! (yep, but it's fun)! This is the single most common comment. If we had a dollar for every time we have heard this we could probably pay for all 3 college educations. My Mothers of Multiples club t-shirt says: "If you think my hands are full, you should see my heart." Cute!
Are they all twins? (ummmmm, no - triplets).
Are they triplicates? (hehe).
You are so blessed. (VERY).
Are they natural? (as opposed to what? Plastic?)
How do you do it? (I just do! We have a great routine down. Oh and of course we have a baby jail). ------>


Hope you have a lot of help. (Nope, usually it's just me).
Better you than me. (I agree).
Are you done? (no, we're shooting for quads next time).
One man actually applauded us! Too funny!
People whisper to their friends, "triplets!"
People holler across the mall, running after us, "wait I want to look!"
Do they run in your family? (twins do, but we are overachievers).
How do you tell them apart? (we named them all the same so it doesn't matter. har har).
The only comment that has really bothered me was "I'm sorry." It totally rubbed me the wrong way. If only they knew how oh-so-wanted these babes are. What a miracle they are. How precious and FUN they are - They would never say that they were sorry for me. They would be envious!

Today we went to Cheeseburger In Paradise with Grandma and they all did so well sitting in high chairs. They are perfectly content as long as there's a pile of Cheerios in front of them! We're so lucky to have babies that we can take places and they'll be good. Knock on wood that it stays that way!

They really are easy babies. They sleep from 6:45 or 7pm till 7:30am. They take an hour and a half nap in the morning and an hour nap in the afternoon. They never cry when going to bed. They very rarely cry during their awake time. They have a perfect mixture of being able to play independently and wanting attention from me.

Our next project needs to be baby gates. We now have two climbers!
