How lovely congratulations !! I bet you are so relieved
I have twin boys (only !)and thay are fab . I have a daughter too who was 3 when they were born .

How wonderful! I'm so pleased for you - and excited too, which is ridiculous really considering I don't even know you!

I was broody anyway and now I'm even more

Just to thank you all for your lovely messages and update: we're stupidly excited about the triplets now and had the nuchal scan today 13 weeks - all 3 babies are healthy, and all measurements look great! I can't stop smiling, it's such a relief! And guess what, it's 2 girls and a boy. Yippeeeeeee!!!!!

Just seen this and wished to send my congratulations - hope you and the cupcakes are doing well

Hi cakebuddy - how are you getting on?
over the shock yet???

Congratulations CakeBuddy, very exciting!
Don't know directly of anyone in your situation, but know of someone (friend of a friend) who had a boy just under 2 yrs when she had her 3 boys (4 boys under 2!!!)They live on a farm so are quite isolated. She accepted all the help she could and made use of the local multiple births club too plus the Govt. subsidy that helps with support for care of multiples (we are in NZ, not sure if they have that in the UK, but worth investigating). She had a lot of family support, which really helped.
Congrats again and take care

Wow! Congratulations.

can you afford paid help? i love my mil but not everybody wants the grannies around up close, i understand. on the other hand, they could be great to take care of your older dd.
where are you? i have a book from the tripletconnection i could mail you if you think it might be of help. can you send me a private message somehow?

Congratulations cake buddy
my favourite triplet book is I sleep at red lights
Contact your local college now and ask if they will send a student next year on placement need to be doing a 'cache' course

Really, you "only" have triplets! Wow I'm still totally getting over the shock of finding out and still giggle nervously when people say things like that!

Thank you so much for the website tip, I'll check it out. And well done you for BF'ing and expressing so well for so long, 1.5 litres per day is amazing!

Both mums have offered to come and stay for a few weeks each, but as we live abroad it would mean them coming and staying the duration rather than being able to pop in and out. I know it sounds silly, but I'm nervous that if they do come, that I'll never get used to doing it on my own, and won't get to enjoy the babies without the grannies adding their opinion every two seconds (which they would!) But then maybe I don't have the luxury of choice in the matter with DD1 to look after as well, especially if the babies are going to be in hospital for a while...

Aarrrrggggghhhh driving myself in potty circles of indecision. Maybe I should wait until nearer the time before obsessing about details!
