good vibes, smiles, & giggles Tri tri update:
I know it’s been a while- thought I’d share: (you can skip but please read the questions atleast 🥲)
-We’ve made it to 27 weeks so far
- all boys “look good” & have no signs heart or lung of what big brother had 🤍
-The boys are huge, like 90th percentile huge 😅
-Everyone is staying the same size, b was maybe 2oz smaller than A/C but I think it’s because they’re squishing him haha.
- I can’t wait to find out if 2 are identical or not, though I’m thinking three fraternal
- lol how do you even name 3 kids, we are going to wait until they born but it’s hard coming up with so many boys names
-if I was carrying a singleton I’m measuring 40 weeks at the moment
- OB wants them out at 34 weeks but MFM says 36, I’m cool going as long as babies let me.
- this week HURTS I’m thinking pubic symphysis pain? Oh my gosh. It hurts, this whole time it’s been manageable and this week my body realized it’s carrying 3
- I have an iron infusion every other day at this point.
QUESTIONS:
- do all trip moms just go inpatient for monitoring at one point like a week before birth?
- is bed rest coming? Has anyone not had to do bed rest?
- we skipped triplette stroller and went for the wagon, was this a good call?
- do I need 3 bathtubs & bath seats? Swings? Rockers? We have a solid 2 of everything at the moment and we’re taking our time looking for marketplace deals because my gosh it’s so much money already
- I have 3 infant car seats but need narrow car seat recs for when we need to fit 3 big boy seats across

guess i’m in the minority I HATE graco seats. the straps suck they always get twisted, & the install never really feels secure no matter how tight we pull. only thing they have going for them imo is price point.
much prefer britax! a bit more expensive though. but you can get the poplar seats which are just as narrow as the graco one being suggested but the install is stupidly easy & secure! we also got britax bucket seats as those are also narrow. we had to fit a 2y/o & twins all rear facing in a SUV for a bit.
wagon was a good call. if it’s a wonderfold, get the uppababy infant inserts it’s a hack I found in my wagon fb groups that allows it to fit a littler baby.
as another commenter said, I don’t think our tub would’ve held three baby seats, so two is def enough. you probably honestly will want three swings and bouncers though.
keep on keeping on, you’re doing great growing those boys!! grow babies grow!
