My brother and his wife had triplets early this afternoon. I went to visit around the arrival time and they had already been berthed. There were two 5+ LB boys (Daniel Ambrose, a blonde, and Connor Benjamin, a hairy brunette) and a 4+LB Girl (Ava, a full-head-of-hair brunette).
Everyone is doing fine, including my brother’s 5 year old son, proudly announcing that he was now a “big brother.”
As nice and sweet as that all sounds, we are talking TRIPLETS here people. A load of work. As Uncle, i get the holidays and occasional photo-ops, so it is great for me, but the day in, day out stuff – wow, I dunno. I do know that I couldn’t do it. I mean I would, were it thrust on me, but, it hasn’t been.
