One of the scary parts of having triplets, even outside of the NICU, is going from zero babies to three babies overnight! Brise and I have wanted children for sometime and we certainly prayed and hoped. However, at no point did we expect that we would have three at the same time. My first reaction when I realized we’d have three babies was shock. Brise’s was to ask if this meant we needed six car seats (three for each car).

My friend Hadley threw me a baby shower and we have benefited from the generosity of our friends and family. However, the needs of triplets is quite overwhelming.

Yesterday, MetroTech, where Brise works, and Hendrick Auto Group, threw Brise a cookout (it was more like a cook-in) where everyone brought diapers. Despite being a group of mostly men, Brise’s employer and co-workers pulled together in an amazing way. It’s night and day from how many other workplaces would react to the uncertainty of triplets! Not only did they fill my car with diapers, they also completed our set of car seats! We are ever so grateful!
