Stuff needed...

Okay, we are bracing for the impact that these babies are going to have on our family FINANCIALLY! I'm calculating in my mind the cost of preschool alone and getting a little light-headed, let alone the cost of dance or soccer or anything else they want to do! And diapers...holy smokes, and formula...okay, you all know I have been a breast-feeding guru, but I'll be the first to say that I recognize my own limitations when it comes to three babies.

So I'm asking all my blogging friends if they know of any websites or companies that have give-aways or discounts for multiple babies or ANYTHING of that nature, because we're going to need all the assistance we can get! Maybe we can get our own show like "jon and kate plus 8," which has become my new favorite pasttime. Whenever I wonder how this is going to work, I watch that show and feel empowered. If Kate can do it...maybe I'll survive. She's my hero and role model!

Okay, back to free stuff. Really, I mean it! There must be someone out there who wants to give me free stuff! Please help me find them!

Babies' first photo

Ever wonder what 12 week triplets look like when captured all together on a sonogram? Here they are! As you can see, one of the babies gave us a good profile shot for this picture, but the others weren't as cooperative. I think the picture gives a good shot of the top of one of the heads, and I can't really tell what the other one is doing. When we scanned them individually we were able to get the full profile, so we know that they are indeed babies! They each have their own sac and placenta, which is a good thing, because they don't share nutrients so each baby can suck nutrients from my body separately without robbing from another. Does this make it more real for anyone? Are you all as in LOVE with them as I am? OK, probably not, but they are so cute! Many of you have been asking my due date--it is December 12th, but we expect them sometime near Halloween. The average gestation for triplets is 33 weeks.
