It seems like everyone who finds out about the triplets is so excited and tell us what a blessing this is. That is not how we feel at this moment. Scott and I are pretty realistic, I wouldn’t say either of us are optimistic or pessimistic, we are just realistic. So of course we are worried and stressed, we are concerned about finances, insurance (they never cover as much as you think they would), and this overwhelming task that is ahead of us, not to mention all of the things that could go wrong between now and then.
My first reaction is to start researching and finding books to read about having and raising triplets. Scott’s reaction is to pretend nothing is going to change. We spent the next several days not even discussing the issue. Finally by the weekend I was ready to get started planning. I told Scott that we would need to start looking for cars that could fit 3 carseats, oh boy was that the wrong thing to say. He flipped out and said that they would all fit fine in the Rendevous, I knew this was not the case and tried to explain that but since I couldn’t spit out the exact dimensions he refused to believe it. After this big episode we didn’t speak about the ‘triplets’ for days. We went down to my parents on Saturday and between them and Stephanie I took it upon myself to gather 3 infant seats and put them in their vans and my SUV. It didn’t really fit in the vans, and it definitely would not fit in my car, the space between the middle and back seats just doesn’t have enough room. I called Scott so he could see this for himself and apparently he was still not ready to face the fact that our car would not work.
