Have you ever heard the saying that "Good things come in threes?" Well, I spent Mother's Day in the hospital from hyperemesis and dehydration and the next morning my doctor ordered an ultrasound to see if he could get more insight into what's going on with me and make sure everything was okay with the baby, and, well, WE'RE HAVING TRIPLETS! Yes, it's true, somehow I conceived triplets without the help of modern fertility treatments or anything like that. Needless to say, we are a little overwhelmed and reeling from this news. We were a little apprehensive about adding a fifth to our bunch, but now we are throwing caution to the wind and surrendering to what must absolutely be the Lord's will for our family! My due date is Dec. 12, but average gestation for triplets is 33 weeks, so our babies will probably arrive sometime in October.
We are completely overwhelmed that the Lord has this much faith in us, but know we could never do this alone, and our families have pledged their support. My parents have even decided to postpone their mission for a couple of years! Now if I can just get feeling better...

Julie, I am ..... Speechless. Truly. Truly. Speechless. If it was April I would say you were pulling one over on us. You are making me scared to get pregnant with our 4th! Congratulations... and like you said, it just must be the will of the lord....7 kids...WOW.
I too am speechless...three babies at once. At least the odds of one of them being a girl is much better, that will make Haylee happy!! :) Triplets...it takes my breath away. I will keep all of you in my prayers. Congratulations!
Julie, Oh my word! Gayle told me the news yesterday and I had to come and see if you had posted anything about it. First, congratulations! I can't even imagine how three will be, but at least you have older kids to help out and lots of helping hands...you will need it! You will be in our prayers and I hope you can feel better soon!
If anyone can do this you can (your family included). I can't imagine the shock at your ultrasound. Little did you know you'd fill the sq. footage of your house with 7 beautiful children?! How fun would that be if these were all sisters for Haylee? I'm so glad you're blogging this adventure. We wish you all the best and hope you feel better soon.
PS. I'm coming to UT in June and I'd love to see you.

Rachel told me yesterday Julie and man, I called my mom and the family now knows! Holy cow! Please tell me that you are having a c-section WITH an epidural! And it better be October because with the size of baby's you have, three need to come early! Can I watch your kids and have them come play at my house? You can nap or relax or something!
