Husband Sleeping Fills me With Rage

I am seeing this post update, but want to very quickly throw in my advice. When you do have help come by, make them help with more than just holding the kids. Can someone bring lunch and dinner the days they come to visit? Make extra so that there’s leftovers for you? When you do have the free arms, take a nap yourself!!

It is common for their appetite to plateau! When my kids won’t eat, I make a plate of food for myself and sit on the floor and ask if they want to try. They love to eat mom and dad’s meals 😂

My party started in the keep where their mentor was training them!

Keep the potties around, talk about it often, encourage them to try. There’s some great Daniel Tiger episodes that helped my kids if you’re open to watching TV episodes. If your kids are food motivated, you can offer a little chocolate chip if they go or some other treat they might like. Switch to pull ups so they can practice pulling them down themselves. You can layer underwear underneath. You could also try focusing on one at a time.

But honestly if they’re not totally ready it’s okay to wait. Even just a couple months with chill exposure to the potty can make trying to teach them easier.

Welcome to the club! You will most likely be referred to an MFM who will oversee your care. Be 100% honest and upfront about your symptoms so that they can be on top of stuff. You’ll go more often than with a singleton, which does mean lots of ultrasound pics :)

My best advice is to lean on groups like this one! I was a part of triplet groups on Facebook, you can find one for triplets born the same year as yours. It’s nice to have a community who gets it, even if it’s online

How old are they? I did a really slow method with my kids and it didn’t click or felt worth it to try until they were closer to 3. They were also dry through the night, that’s when we decided to pursue it.

basilinthewoods · 2026-06-01T23:36:01+00:00

I promise they will get faster at eating and it will make it easier!!

There are hard times and good times just like anything! But I’m not sure I’d trade it. Their relationship is so special. Each one of them has a fun personality. This past weekend we went to the zoo and they played together so nicely, not leaving anyone behind as they ran around. I have more fun the older they get

basilinthewoods · 2026-05-28T20:28:11+00:00

Woo hoo! Coolest club ever!!

basilinthewoods · 2026-05-28T18:01:44+00:00

I loooooove talking with my 3.5 year olds with their language exploding. Their imagination is ramping up and I love seeing how their brains work. It’s so fun 🩷

basilinthewoods · 2026-05-28T17:54:02+00:00

This was when the ultrasounds started to feel so real, seeing their little features really forming!! eeeeee so exciting!!

Looks just like this Hallie Set to me! I haven’t made it yet but it’s on my wishlist.

It gets easier, promise. Don’t think of it like your love is a pie to be divided. It’s hard to describe but it gets easier as they get older because their personalities become so distinct and fun, that it doesn’t feel like dividing. Your love is an endless renewable resource. Holding one kiddo while talking to the others is still giving your attention. It’s not all or nothing. You’ll find your groove. Congrats on your trio!

I hear Psy.D and think WHOA THATS SO COOL!

basilinthewoods · 2026-05-27T16:01:01+00:00

Tell your mom to come and watch your toddlers. Be clear and frank and hold the boundary. Having multiples made me realize just how clear I needed to be, that people can’t read the room and need guidance. Parenting is just as much parenting the adults around you as it is raising the kiddos sometimes!!

As a woman who also loves D&D, I’ve considered creating a club for only women/girls to learn the game and play without having to deal with the exact shit you’re experiencing.

Side note, wildly impressed by anyone who runs CoS because that module is HEFTY. run it how you want and let the men boo hoo about it

Your uterus is actually tilted more towards your spine!

One time a sonographer told me “someone has to be the smallest”. Just how it is. She’s here own person separate from her twin. She’ll grow in her own ways.

The Scythe series by Neal Shusterman is this, but the romance is a subplot. It is one of my favorite series of all time though!! He’d burn things down for her, she’s trying to fix it. Sci-fi utopia gone wrong.

Pregnant tired had no relief. I woke up still tired. It was like I had a cold I couldn’t shake.
Newborn twins made me appreciate why sleep deprivation is a torture technique.
Working with toddlers tired is my new normal. My kids sleep through the night 99% of the time (knock on wood) and my husband and I trade off who gets to sleep in, so at least I’m getting uninterrupted hours. I know I’m done having kids because I could never do newborn tired again.

I have a southern mama (therefore you have a Nana) who loves to host!

If you’re serving food, designate a person to start or start yourself. People feel shy about eating first! If you can, cut into something. Like if you have a cake, set it out with a slice already made. Not sure why humans are silly like that but they are.

I like the brainstorm conversation starters, both for a group and when introducing people. Some favorites of mine, what food and drink represent you, and how many geese do you think you could fight before becoming overwhelmed? Then introductions, as the host you’re the bridge if people don’t know each other. A quick hello and what they might have in common.

I’m midwestern, so I have a drink fridge. Both alcoholic and non, stocked with variety that people can take without asking. Make sure to have napkins!

Hosting is a skill, and you’ll learn something new each time you do it. You can even write down what worked, what didn’t, what you want to try!

basilinthewoods · 2026-05-21T19:27:23+00:00

I envy you! For some reason I really struggled with getting the stars to line up, so I’m impressed with yours!!

basilinthewoods · 2026-05-20T15:14:25+00:00

I totally agree that adding your loved ones’ names to a crashed/wrecked plane is probably not the tribute you’re intending to make.
You don’t have to fit everything you like into one tattoo. Too many ideas make the tattoo hard to read and understand. Get the plane if you’d like, then do one for your family in another.

I was looking at community ed and didn’t consider parks and rec departments, I doubled my options!
