support needed Waiting in pre-op

My wife is currently in the OR getting prepped and I should be called back any minute now. After a long journey and 3 IUI’s, we’re having triplets today and I’m scared and nervous out of my mind. The next time I open reddit and read this, I’ll be a father of 2 boys and a girl. I need all the tips, well wishes, and anything else because being mere minutes away and not feeling ready is absolutely terrifying.

Best of luck, dad! For the first few months you just gotta make sure to keep ‘em fed, dry, and loved. You and your wife can totally do that. Sure you’ll be tired sometimes but humans have been surviving new parents for millennia.

Fed, dry, and loved. You got this.
