Today I heard the words every woman longs to hear, “You’re pregnant.” Then I heard the words that would strike fear in any woman, “You’re having triplets!” Those were the last words I remember. From that point on my body went numb and my brain went dead, and there were a few tears.
I know triplets don’t seem that unusual anymore in these times of in vitro fertilization and large multiples, but to this working wife and mother of a toddler all I could think was, how could this be? How did our well-planned family actually double over night? Well, it seems this little quirk of nature happens naturally once in every 8,100 pregnancies and our odds go up because we have twins on both sides of the family.
I assume the shock factor was still in place when I almost put nail glue in my eyes instead of eye drops. My husband, although putting on a brave face, missed his work exit by a full 10 minutes.
We are blessed to have a wonderful support system in place, two sets of grandparents and four energetic great-grandparents, along with siblings and friends ready to jump in and help us. We are also blessed to know that God thinks we are the ones to take on this task.
Hang on; this is sure to be the start of a bumpy and joyful ride! For those of you who are wondering, this is no April Fools joke!

So thrilled for ALL of you! What a tremendous blessing! So glad you have so much family and friend support. Can’t wait to some day meet you, as I missed the last get together last year. I will be praying for you and I know little Brooklyn is excited….or maybe confused! My Caroline was born on April Fool’s Day and it’s been a trip. She is 28 and my oldest!👶🏻👶🏻👶🏻🌴🌴🌴🍼🍼🍼🤗🤗😐🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
