FAQ

When we broke the news we were expecting triplets, we were bombarded with questions. And since the babies have been born the questions have continued. Here are some of the most common questions, and answers!

Q: How did this happen???
A: That's what we would like to know! We did not use fertility drugs. This happened completely on it's own while trying for "baby number 2".

Q: When did you find out?
A: At 17 weeks. I didn't suspect a thing!

Q: Do you have multiples in your family?
A: Nope! But now that we are the first, we have pretty much scared the rest of our family members from every getting pregnant again!

Q: What are the chances of conceiving triplets naturally?
A: One in 8100!

Q: What happened to the third triplet?
A: Baby "B", whose name is Benjamin, died at 28 weeks gestation. He was Garrett's identical twin, and he died from a syndrome called Twin to Twin Transfusion.

Q: Are the other two babies healthy?
A: Yes. Garrett and Rhys are healthy. There were some concerns about Garrett and how Ben's death may have affected him, but so far nothing indicates that anything is wrong. Rhys had a long, rocky road in the NICU, but he is now thriving!

Q: What gestation were the boys born at?
A: Exactly 32 weeks!
