It started out as an impulse buy, one of those tiny little overlooked items sitting on the toy-store shelf that normally I would never have even noticed.  We were on our triplet’s first movie outing, down at the Boardwalk, and we were passing the toy store.  It was funny. They had a door-person out in front of the store with this dinosaur bubble machine whose job it seemed was to make as many bubbles for passers by as possible.  It reminded me of when I was in NYC and had seen the one for FAO Swartz.  That’s what initially caught my eye, as I am a huge fan of the bigger toy-land type toy stores in bigger cities.  Of course, being the Mum that I am, I steered our heavy laden limo-sized stroller into the shop, knowing that my triplets MUST have a bubble machine.  I could rationalize this, really I could. We have been having dining troubles, eating woes, and I had discovered that if the babies were distracted, they would eat from the spoon without much though...

Mornings are very peaceful at my house. Each day I wake up to breakfast in bed. Not your usual breakfast mind you, but one for my triplets. My husband gets up for the day and turns on the baby monitor so he can listen for the baby’s to wake up while he gets ready for work each day. Once he hears them begin to stir, he makes their bottles for them and brings them to me in bed. Next, he will deliver my daughter to me for her morning bottle while he picks up both of the boys and lays them side by side on the bed.

Each day brings new baby tricks! Kian usually starts his day saying, “I get up! I get up! I got up!” This is something my...

While you are pregnant, you find yourselves daydreaming of the day when you will get to hold your baby and rock him or her and feed them… When you are pregnant with more than one baby, you find yourself wondering how this is all going to work. As it turns out, there really isn’t too much out there on exactly how to achieve this seemingly impossible task. It would seem that the people who really know aren’t admitting to how exactly they do this. I can understand why, too. All the doctors tell you not to prop the bottle during every well baby exam, and the NICU nurses all have people who are there to specifically help with feedings. So the big question arises, how is it done? While in the hospital, my husband and I would make sure and make every possible feeding of our trio that was humanly possible with regards to our twelve year old son and his school schedule. I would get up each day and make the early feeding, run have lunch, then come back for the babies lunch feeding. Then I would ...
