?ales from ?riplet parents by susan cedotal when the doctor says there?s not one but
three
babies
, life gets exciting pretty quickly! as a triplet mom myself, i realize what a unique experience this truly is. local triplet moms join me in sharing our unique triplet tales. when i found out i was having triplets, i hyperventilated a little bit! we brought our one-year-old son, and i kept looking at him thinking about how young he was at the time. we were going to add
three
more
babies
. my
husband
was all smiles, but i suppose he wasn?t worried about carrying
three
children in his stomach either. how did you feel when you found out you were having triplets? katie dallimore: oh my goodness, what did i not feel? first, disbelief because the week before i was told it was twins. i couldn?t wrap my brain around how
three
babies
were going to fit in my small frame, not to mention what was going to happen to my body. i also felt overwhelmed and terrified! i have two hands. how do i feed and carry
three
babies
? my
husband
was a little calmer and he kept saying it was going to be ?controlled chaos.? sara duhe: when my
husband
and i went for our first ultrasound, we were told we were having twins. i told my
husband
, ?we could totally handle twins, right? so many people have twins!? as the ultrasound tech started moving around, we discovered baby number
three
. we were having triplets! i immediately started laughing through tears?the crazy, scary kind of laugh. i?ve never felt so excited, nervous, and overwhelmed. my
husband
just sat there with his hand over his mouth, speechless. his eyes were wider than i?d ever seen them. krystal howell: ?i think there?s a third.? ?at?s what the ultrasound tech said to my
husband
and i when we went in for our first ultrasound appointment. complete shock set in cedotal family dallimore family 4 6 b r p a r e n t s . c o m | n o v e m b e r 2 0 1 7
