How we do it and Stay Sane…Most of the time

We stick to a very tight schedule and are super organized. Just like I did a ton of reading and research on how to have a successful pregnancy, I also did a lot of reading on how to manage triplets. Other triplet moms are the best resource for advice. They know what works and that is why I do what I do :)

First, we have help, an absolute must!

Grandma and Uncle Nick

Second, sometimes we prop bottles …shhhhh, don’t tell.

One of the biggest lifesavers, Max’s awesome sister Jess made us 17 homemade delicious meals we take from freezer to oven! (but we have almost finished them…hint, hint).
