Here are two of my favorite recent quotes. They aren't funny, but they came from a fellow triplet mom (hers are in high school now) as I was telling her how it makes me so nervous to get ultrasounds every 2 weeks:
"They can be nerve racking for sure. I finally just decided to enjoy the
babies for as long as God decided to let me have them ... whether that
was 14 weeks, 32 weeks, 10 years, or my whole lifetime. I decided I was
cheating myself of the joy by worrying. God would bring me through
whatever he had in store."
And this was my favorite from this particular conversation:
"Enjoy each moment, this is a blink in your life and everything to theirs."
She really helped me put things into perspective. Even with the huge miracle we have already experienced, carrying triplets is still a daunting undertaking. I love seeing the babies at every ultrasound, but I also fear what they might find. She helped me remember what I already knew but, like all of us, forget sometimes - God is in control and He won't give us anything we can't handle. Find joy in the journey! And this is certainly SOME journey!
