Happy Birthday to the Terrific Trio

BalloonsToday marks the Terrific Trio’s second birthday. Since we have a chicken pox attack wafting its way through the house, the celebrations will be delayed a few days or maybe even weeks. Tonight I walked into their bedroom and thought back two years… it was Sunday night and they were almost twelve hours away from being born. The situation with Tess seemed to be status quo, and we thought that just maybe we could squeek another week or two out of the pregnancy. But over the course of the next twelve hours the preterm labour picked up it’s pace, and by about 4 to 5 AM the writing was on the wall: the triplets were going to be born. Two years later they have done amazingly well, praise be to God, the incredible healthcare we received from the Queen Mary Hospital NICU and the support from our friends and family. A special mention goes to Lita, Mila and De, who day in and day out for twenty-one months have provided the Terrific Trio with extraordinary, reliable, consistent care.
