Any advice for a couple having triplets?

My wife and I just found out we are having triplets. Any advice for a couple about to have triplets (or more)?Any advice for a couple having triplets?
you need to take any help that you can.... having even one child is hard work but having three! It is amazing and i hope that you both feel absoluetly blessed. Get as much sleep as you can.... use the platex drop in bottles... saves in a lot of cleaning..... also when the babies come home, what i did with my children when they were home is i would have all the bottles filled with water beside the bed so when they woke up i can just put the formula in the bottle and give them their feedings. Also keep diapers and wipes close at hand. the house gets dirty! do not stress so much about the clutter from all the things you have for the babies... expecially three you will have more things then you know what to do with... seriously though, if anyone wants to offer a hand with the babies, or even housecleaning, let them! If you go to church the members will be so helpful!Any advice for a couple having triplets?
Coun your blessing and pray. your so lucky i had to get pregnant 3 time to have 3 kids you get 3 in one shot. Give lots of extra back rubs and fott massages to your wife. tell her evey day you love her and how beutiful she is. start recriting help now those 3 am feeding are hard with 1 baby 3 times as hard with 3. Dont wait untill the last minute to start buying baby stuff diapers wipes baby bath ect. get plenty but you dont have to do it all at once do a little at a time Ohh buy your wife the biggest washer and dryer you can find youll need it good luck and congrats
REST.. lol.... well i had twins and the only help was me and daddy, i always joked that im glad it wasn't triplets cause i only have two hands, so if i had an extra baby i would need and extra arm lol.. so i guess my advice would be to get another person to help, have lots of supplies on hand for when the babies arrive.... and as far as the pregnancy, be prepared for your wife to have a lot of down time.. and help with cleaning, laundry, food and such.. you will have a lot of advice coming from random people when you go shopping, or pretty much anywhere.. but biggest advice of all.. when your babies arrive, don't get caught up in the stressful part of the moment.. ENJOY, your blessed.. congrats!
Congratulations!! Stock up on diapers. You may even want to go with cloth part of the time to save $$.


Also three different cribs. Don't put multiples in the same bed because when one cries they all cry. Little cribs with wheels so you can wheel a fussy or sick one to another room more easily.





Also, accept help. Don't be modest, but don't be needy. When someone asks if there is anything they can do, take them up on it, and be sure to let them hold a baby or play with them for a while. This is compensation enough for most people.
Count your blessings and shout out the good news! Congratulations! If you can, start looking for meals that you can make ahead and freeze, then just bake when you need them. Watch John and Kate Plus 8 if you get TLC to get an idea of what it's like to juggle a bunch of kids at once. Recruit help and start planning ahead as much as you can.
Get a lot of sleep now, 'cause you probably won't get much after they're born. Congratulations!
start stocking up on diapers and recruiting help. GOOD LUCK!!
let others help u. never turn down help.
Poke out your ear drums.
