Hi, My name is Kerry, i have a daughter of 2 years old which we had through IVF and just recently we went for our 2nd IVF, they put 2 back and both took, we were overwhelmed but still felt very blessed. When we went for our scan we found out 1 had split so we are now having 3. I really do feel blessed but at the same time so overwhelmed as to how we are going to cope.

Hi! I also am due June 25th with mine. Freaking out! I have almost 3 year old twins and a 1 year old. Was not planning to have another baby for at least a year but then found out we were expecting, never even DREAMED it would be multiples again and at our ultrasound, we saw 3! It's been 2 1/2 weeks now since we found out and I am still freaking out! Not sure how I will be able to manage 6 kids in 3 years??? I know God doesn't give us more than we can handle but I feel like this might really be pushing it! :) I am excited but the fear and anxiety right now is a little more overwhelming than the excitement. There are no twins anywhere in either mine or my husbands families so I am baffled as to how this has happened. Blessed, I know, but it's a little crazy! Congrats to you both as well. Hopefully all our babies will go to at least 34 weeks and be healthy!

I am with Kerry... Thanks Kelli. We have a lot of friends and family who are ready to come in and help. I know that it will be crazy and I know it will go by quickly.
Thanks for the great advice.

Congrats ladies and get ready for an amazing journey!!! My triplets are 3 and even though they exhaust me, test me, drive me crazy...I could not imagine my days without them!!! The first months are going to be crazy...but try to get on a schedule and stick with it. Don't be afraid to ask for help! Make time for yourself once the babies arrive---even if it means taking a full 15 minutes to shower instead of the 5 minute speed clean. Try to sleep when you can and remember to enjoy every minute of it....the sleepless nights, the utter exhaustion, the crying....EVERYTHING because they will grow up fast and it will all be a blur :) Good luck!!!!!

Looks like we are in a similar boat. We went to the doctor again today and saw all three. We are 9 weeks tomorrow and seeing them all moving around and their hearts beat makes this whole time very exciting. I wish you the very best and hope you do go longer than April! Keep those babies inside as long as possible.

Hi Jen, Ours are also supposed to only come in June but now that there are triplets they will be here by the end of April. Have really battled to get my head around it but i am getting there slowy but shortly. It is going to be a challange but we will do it! God has blessed us - and he will never give us more than we can handle.

Hi My name is Jen. We just found out that we are expecting triplets as well. We are supposed to have them in June 2012 but I know it will happen sooner. I appreciate the post from Margie about the planning and getting things done before they need to be... That does help me feel less overwhelmed.

Congrats! When I found out I was having triplets I FREAKED OUT! Literally freaked out! haha. Its going to be hard but its amazing! I lost one of mine at birth and I am about to try for another! The relationship that multiples have is AMAZING! Just keep your faith and PLAN. Get things done before you think they need to be. ;-) Again, congrats.
