Found this online - Very true for me.... wanted to share for some laughs and information!
When people find out that I am the mother of triplets, besides wanting to know how I handle them on a daily basis, they want to know what its like to have triplets.

I usually say "I don't know any different"
But the problem is that most people can’t imagine what that’s like. They have no experience with triplets and can’t begin to fathom triplets. I know this because I was the same way before I had mine.
So, what is it like having triplets? I’ll tell you, based on my experience with triplet toddlers…
Having triplets is washing pee soaked sheets from someone wetting the bed just about every morning. YES!!!
It’s using 212 newborn sized diapers in about eight days.YES!!!
It’s dealing with people asking you personal questions like, ‘are they natural’ or ‘did you have sex 3 times in one night to get triplets’? I haven't had this question yet, but I like the answer! lol
It’s going through one pitcher of formula in a 24 hour period.
It’s a constant, non-stop chorus of “ups"
It’s getting more free time because they always have a playmate around who isn’t mommy. - eagerly waiting for this to happen
It’s dealing with a kid shoving a t-shirt in the toilet, a kid coloring on the wall and a kid jumping from the couch… all at the same time. Yes - tonight it was trying to dress one, one doffing a diaper, and one spitting milk all over the place.
It’s constantly doing a head count when at a playground or play area because they are never all together outside of the house. How fast can you count to three?
It’s feeling like a failure because one baby always had to cry it out because your arms only can only hold two.
It’s begging and pleading with God for just two hours of sleep in a row because that is all you need to function. - Not us! The girls thankfully sleep through the night!!
It’s hoping that some day baby vomit will become a couture perfume smell since that is what you always smell like since you have triplet infants who all have reflux and vomit all the time. No vomit yet!!!
It’s an overwhelming sense of joy you get when three little people give you ‘I love you, mommy’ hugs. YES!!!

It’s judgmental stares and comments Yes, one downside.
It’s the ability to rock a baby, burp a baby and feed a baby all at the same time. Yes!
It’s tripping over and stepping on a child because there is constantly one under foot. YES!!!
It’s frantically searching the house for three different lovies so that three overly tired and crabby toddlers will finally take a nap. - Lovies don't leave the bedroom!!
It’s 30 fingernails and 30 toenails to cut and trim.YES!!!
It’s being able to understand three different things told to you by three different children at the same time. Will be true in a few months
It’s finding ways to make each child love being a triplet but also love being an individual. YES!!!
It’s standing firm to three children who constantly test the limits. Starting lots of time-outs!!
It’s always pulling three sippy cups out of the cupboard.YES!!!
It’s having to only go through every stage at the same time.YES!!!

| Bedtime tonight after 4 time outs for spitting milk. Monkey see- monkey do x3!!! |
It’s a huge sense of pride in the fact that you have triplets and manage to get dressed every day and even leave the house. YES and go to work and own my own business!!
See, having triplets is really not all that hard… expect for when it is.
Now, don’t you want to have sex three times in one night in hopes of getting triplets?
