About Me

Hi! I'm Genny, the mother of two beautiful children and, in a crazy turn of events that I never expected to be part of my life plan, a set of triplets!

This is my journal, as it were, to keep track of the ups, downs and in-betweens of being pregnant with triplets and eventually, having triplet BOYS running around the house.

My biggest questions when I found out we were having triplets were: 1. What I am supposed to eat?   2. How are we ever going to be able to afford this?  and  3. How will I ever get any sleep or be able to return to my financially essential at-home business after they are born? I found very little information on the internet about this, so another reason I started this blog was to help other future triplet moms (that could be YOU - believe me, I NEVER thought I'd be pregnant with triplets either! Never say never!) find out the answers to these questions and more.

Let's see, so about me: I am a wife and mother, an active member of the LDS faith (Mormon) and sincerely grateful to my Heavenly Father and Savior for every blessing and every trial-turned-blessing that they send me. For my "day job", I am a pianist, accompanist, composer, and music teacher (luckily, I am able to do this from home and have for the past 20 years). I ADORE music. I get very nerdy about it at times and love when I can discuss secondary dominants, sonata-allegro form, and all kinds of cadences with people.

My husband and I have been married nearly 13 wonderful years. It took us 7 years to be able to start our family, thanks to a fertility condition called PCOS. I am one of the "lucky ones" (there really isn't such a thing, by the way) when it comes to infertility, because I have been able to avoid the more intense procedures, once by a matter of a couple of weeks, and this time by a couple short months, and conceive on a combination of clomid and metformin (and this pregnancy, an awesome herbal supplement called Pregnitude - lame name, I know - that made it possible for me to cut waaaay back on my metformin dose and started my cycles after only a couple of months when metformin had done nothing for two years. Finding that changed everything.).

My husband is also a musician, so he speaks the same nerdy language as me. He has a tenor voice that would melt any womans' - and most mens' - heart. That's why I married him. That, and I fell in love with him...but it was the voice that started it all - I fell in love with his voice four months before I even met him in person. And now I get to listen to that voice for eternity. I am one lucky chica.  We have had some tough times with infertility and illness and he has stood by me through it all. And he is a GREAT dad to our two beautiful children.

Most of all, I LOVE being a mom. I am so excited to add three more to our loving, albeit crazy at times, family!
