You know you're a mom to three toddlers when...

  • your hair hasn't been properly dried or styled in months.

  • the only time you wear make-up is if you have a few spare minutes in the car.

  • you can't get the theme song to Sesame Street out of your head.

  • you find yourself spelling half of your conversations with your husband. "Should we let them watch B-A-B-Y E-I-N-S-T-E-I-N?"

  • you only know the weather forecast if you specifically make a point to watch it and by the next day, you've already forgotten what the weather is supposed to be like.

  • you sometimes duck into the bathroom to eat a snack so little eyes won't see you.

  • you pray for sleep past six o'clock in the morning.

  • you find bits of food all over your house.

  • every night you ask your husband, "Is tonight bath night or was that last night?"

  • you open a can of diet Pepsi (preferably the cherry-tainted kind), take a few sips, become involved in some toddler crisis and then go open another can of diet Pepsi, take a few sips and come across the first can, unfinished and abandoned.

  • you refuse to buy new clothes because whatever you wear usually ends up peed on, pooped on, thrown up on, snot wiped on or colored on.

  • you can fall asleep in two minutes.
  • whenever you venture out to a public venue with all three, someone inevitably calls out, "Looks like ya gotcha hands full!"

Dead on! We need to start spelling more things and I totally have eaten snacks in the bathroom. I'm selfish like that ;)

Hi

No my girls never showed any signs of TTTS. In fact, their birth weights were very similar. Allie (Baby A) weighed 5.3 and Anna and Em both weighed 4.13.
