A good friend of mine called today with the news that she is expecting not one, but three babies. Wow, I have one baby myself, and I thought that was hard. Can you imagine 30 little fingers, and 30 little toes? I'd love to do something to help her, because she has always been there for me, but I don't even know what to do for her. Do you know anyone with multiples? What are some good baby gift ideas?

Woah, three babies at once. Just being around one stresses me out... But I imagined those fingers and toes to be oh-so-cute.
The help idea is a good one. You don't even have to pay for maid service. I know it's hard for a new mother like you to be helping out another new mother but maybe you can also do a stay-over or something like that yourself?

That's a good idea. I'm sure my husband could watch my little man for a few nights, and I can only imagine that she will need an extra hand at night so she, and the babies can get some rest. I wonder if triplets all get hungry at the same time, or if they are just all on different schedules. Either way you can't feed three babies single handed! Thanks for the idea.

Have you heard of Jon and Kate plus 8? This couple had twins and then just a few years later, sextuplets. I don't follow the show but it is on TLC. We don't have TLC. I don't think I've fed a newborn baby in my life... I can just imagine how that would be for first-time mommies...

Wow. I couldn't imagine dealing with three babies. What about getting her help? Like a maid service or something like that. She is going to have her hands full trying to feed and diaper all those babies. I would have loved if someone would have got me some help for my babies lol. and i only had one! I would definitely gift her some diapers too because she is going to go through a heck of a lot of those too.
