This story will make you have a panic attack

[ilovebed]

My coworkers niece is a nurse in Orange Co. Her husband was an EMT trying to get a job as an firefighter. They have a daughter who will be 2 in January. Well unplanned, she got pregnant with triplets! Two identical and one fraternal. What are the odds!? So right now they have a 17 month old and 3 2-month olds. They live in a two bedroom apartment bc it's all they could afford in Orange County. Her husband got hired as a firefighter during the pregnancy and JUST got let go so now he is back to just making EMT income and she needs to go back to work next month.

Everything about this story makes my heart palpitate.

oh man. I would probably just be an unpleasant ball of stress every single day! My biggest fear of going for a 3rd is that it will be twins or something.

OMG. I think I'd just give up.

I want to vomit from stress. I can't do 2u2....4u2 would destroy me.

Yes, this sounds like a disaster and something I wouldn't survive. Poor poor parents

I know, right!!? And they only family they have close by is her 71 year old mother who still works full time. She stays at their apartment during her two days off just to give mom a slight break.
Can you even guess the odds of that happening? Two eggs fertilized and implanted and one then divided!

Saw this on the app but I think I know this person. Random. Well I don't know her personally but friends of friends at church.

ETA: if it is her, which I'm pretty sure it is then it seems like she's getting a lot of help from people at our church so I hope that's true!

Small world! Glad to hear she is receiving so much support. Please don't share that you read this. I wouldn't want that mom to think the world is talking about her private business!

Just the thought of ONE baby and a 17 month old gives me a panic attack, I can't imagine 3. She will have so much fun with them in a few years though!

@lauralynne you were quite the baby wrangler today, I think you'd rock it

[Kahala]

@lauralynne i could see you with triplets, not batting an eye
