My husband, Troy and I have nearly survived the first year with our triplets!! What an accomplishment that will be!! The girls first birthday is next Friday!! It will certainly be a bit different to the normal birthdays we have had, our other children, Jazmin-9yrs, Summer-5yrs and River-4yrs have always enjoyed their special days. Now having three children sharing a birthday produces more challenges. Keeping their individuallity is something we are obviously new at and continue to learn about. One cake or three?? When does it become most important to not bundle them all in one group? Should we be starting that now? They aren't really going to remember their first birthday after all.
All our other kids were walking by one year old, it is hard not to compare. But I certainly love watching them all develop thier own personallities, and what a great age! Amity is the smallest triplet, but has crawled first and is now standing up. Holly and Skye, (our identicals) are still comando crawling around, but Holly has started to pull herself up on the furniture. I am sure Skye will not be too far behind her. People always say I have my hands full! Wait till their running around, then you'll know what busy is!! Yes this is true, parenting is a demading job, but I wouldn't change it for the world. We may not get holidays or sick days but I think it is way more rewarding that anything that other jobs could bring. You have to deal with what life throws your way, and well this is what we were dealt. Even though the first few months were a bit hazy and I wondered what I did to deserve this! Everyone was saying how lucky I was! Well I didn't think so, I wanted one little baby, to breastfeed and snuggle up with. Not three at once, trying to get them fed and back to bed and grab an hours sleep before their next feed would be due!! It was rather rediculous!! I never thought we would make it to their first birthday!(not sanely anyway) But only a week to go.....
PERSPECTIVE
A new mum, awake every three hours at night with her first baby, thought she had her hands full - and she did. Then she met.....
A new mum of twins, exhausted from being awake doing double duty while trying to master the art of feeding two at the same time, thought she had her hands full - and she did. Then she met.....
A new mum of triplets, learning to juggle three babies with only two arms, while dealing with intense sleep-deprivation, thought she had her hands full - and she did. Then she met....
A mum of a new set of triplets who had a toddler still in diapers and several school aged children, spreading herself in many different directions at once, while dealing with intense sleep deprivation, thought she had her hands full - and she did. Then she learned of....
A mum of who just gave birth to her second set of triplets within two years, still changing diapers of a trio of toddlers, while dealing with sleep-deprivation, with a bigger life change than she could ever have imagined, thought she had her hands full - and she did. Then she saw the program about....
A mum who just gave birth to her 16th child, adding to her 15 children all under the age of 18, juggling so many different tasks to keep her busy family cared for, thought she had her hands full - and she did....
Each of the mums thought they had their hands full, and then they met...a woman who would never know the joy of carrying, giving birth to and nurturing her very own baby, and each of those mums were glad they had their hands full.
Perspective is everything!
