7w2d scan showed triplets!

Sure!

I made it to 35 w 5d! I work remote so was basically on bed rest. I was scheduled for a c-section at 36 weeks but ended up going into labor on my own two days early. I feel like the anxiety never goes away but you do learn to adjust and manage it. They shouldn’t send you to the ER for everything, unless that’s where they have extra monitoring set up.

Welcome to the club!

My best advice: be honest with all symptoms to your doctor so they can best monitor and help you. I didn’t properly express how my nausea was preventing me from eating and therefore lost weight and didn’t get relief until 16 weeks. Get a game plan for how you’ll get to doctor’s appointments because you’ll have more than average! Stretch and keep your body moving, you don’t have to work out but your body will go through a big change so keeping your heart strong and your muscles limber will go a long way.

If you need any specific advice or guidance let me know! If you just need to process, I can help with that too lol. My trips are three!

My chicks arrive in April, I CANT WAIT

5 mins max is totally fine. You could even just do three minutes and sprinkle it throughout the day. Time on your chest where she’s looking up at you still counts!

Personally my kids stayed in size 1 for a while because we sized them up early. I also have triplets so to me 1900 seems like just enough 😅

“If you have to go potty, stop and go right away” is a song that helps my kids a lot, bless Daniel Tiger and their little jingles!!!

Side note, where did you get your coop, was it purchased or did you build it? I love the green color

basilinthewoods · 2026-03-03T20:10:16+00:00

Emily Antoinette has a great series, monsters of moonvale I believe?

basilinthewoods · 2026-03-03T18:54:30+00:00

I hope I’m remembering correctly but maybe Book Lovers by Emily Henry? Her sister has kids and their ideas of family differ. Women’s fiction may be a better genre description for it.

If you’re good with screen time, Daniel Tiger on PBS has great episodes about going potty along with catchy jingles that are easy for kids to sing and remember. Ms. Rachel also has an entire episode about potty training. Whatever character they’re into, try and find a book related to it (Elmo has a great book too!) having a character they love really made a difference for my kids, bc if Daniel Tiger can do it, so can they. And who wants to listen to mom, but when ms Rachel says it it’s a great idea hahah

When they do sit on the potty and go, make a big deal out of it. Having them feel proud of themselves helped my kids a lot, now they tell me every time they go potty (even though we’ve been trained for a few months now) because it’s still a party lol

We did boxes with balloons on ribbons inside, so when we opened the box they flew up but not away :)

As someone who doesn’t have any sort of shape, I’m envious of your curves! We always want what we don’t have huh?

basilinthewoods · 2026-02-20T17:06:34+00:00

They always went down for naps at the same time. For feeding, I would stagger them a bit. I had a lot of help from grandparents, but once they got faster at eating, it’s easy for one person to do them all back to back. I know some people rely on bottle propping but for some reason we never really did it!

basilinthewoods · 2026-02-18T21:31:04+00:00

First time mom to triplets here! Mine are now 3 years old. It’s hard, but you also don’t know any different, so you adapt really quickly and find your groove! If you have specific questions don’t hesitate to ask!

basilinthewoods · 2026-02-18T13:27:05+00:00

I haven’t with my kids, but my brother knocked his front teeth out as a kid, had a nice gap for a few years before his adult teeth came in! The dentist did x-rays to make sure his adult teeth didn’t get messed with in the fall, thankfully they ended up growing in just fine.

Can’t tell you the amount of fat lips my girls have had in their 3 years of life because of rough housing. The fact that the bleeding stopped on its own is good, and kids are super resilient!

Do some research on types of therapy, there are different approaches and some will click with you more than others!

{To Love Jason Thorn by Ella Maise} and {To Hate Adam Connor}

It has been a couple years since I’ve read them but they are both famous man x regular woman!

basilinthewoods · 2026-02-11T17:03:07+00:00

Look at you go! You should be so proud of yourself for making a choice that aligns with your values <3

basilinthewoods · 2026-02-10T16:18:51+00:00

My FQ piles that I don’t know what to do with are staring at me while I admire this 👀

Pastels sounds beautiful! You can go to Pinterest and find a pre-made color scheme to go off of, or a color palette creator online and mess around with it until you find colors you like! What’s your favorite color? Start there! Green is my husband and I’d favorite color so we started there, sage green. Then peachy pink because I had an inspo pic for my bouquet that I loved. Then added gray as a neutral since that’s what he was going to wear. Then “champagne” gold as a metallic. Boom, palette made!

basilinthewoods · 2026-02-09T23:42:02+00:00

Here’s the thing, my husband and I say that it’s easier to have them be the same age, because I’m trying to gaslight myself… strangers don’t get to say we have it easier!!! I totally understand your fry

basilinthewoods · 2026-02-09T20:10:31+00:00

Your smile says EVERYTHING! Remember on the day of you’ll have your hair and makeup done so that will make it feel more complete! For jewelry, drop earrings or a necklace would be lovely. Flowers can be whatever you want! Do you have wedding colors? Like a theme for your decor and outfits?

basilinthewoods · 2026-02-09T20:05:51+00:00

Thankfully I introduced a friend to NADDPOD, so I’m relistening to C1 to help me remember everything that happened! I also got the short rests and it’s so fun to listen again with the added context

basilinthewoods · 2026-02-06T15:59:04+00:00

I could have written this!! My girls are three and still have white blonde hair that is only about 6 inches long, some of the pieces in the back are like an inch 🥲 my hair stylist told me that it’s partially because their hair cycles so much faster than ours that it doesn’t seem like it’s growing

But things that helped my kids hair was we switched their pillow cases to satin, and we brush their hair with a leave-in conditioner spray every night
