I'm very excited to make it to 27 weeks. Only 1 more week until the big 28 week milestone. I feel like this is going by very quickly (of course there are times I'd like to fast forward through too).
Lately I've been stressed/anxious. Those of you who know me, know that this is the norm and don't see why this is news. I'm just panicking that we'll never be ready and we'll never have all the stuff we need. We had our shower a few weeks ago and we got sooooo much stuff, but we still need soooo much more. I'm just freaking out that we'll have the babies and no bottles to feed them or equipment for my pump. Because Dave's time is so valuable, I don't want to drag him around buying stuff and I really can't go out unchaperoned. We'll get there eventually, I just have to breathe...easier said than done...
I'm also panicking about helpers after the babies are born. I feel like I'll need so much help, but don't know who to ask or how to handle them. I really think I'll need people to do "chores" like wash bottles, diapers, etc, but how do you ask people to do that? I know it's all silly stuff, but this is what consumes me at night when I should be sleeping...

Oh girl! It will be ok and you will be able to do it with out any help if that is what you have! I assume you have a dishwasher? I couldnt have made it with out a dishwasher because of the amount of bottles we had. When they are so little, all they really do is sleep, eat and poop. Right after we got home from the hospital I thought "Wow, this is SO easy!" As they got older though it gets a bit harder. Its more time consuming and busy than it is just flat out hard. You will have to line things up as most important to least important. Unfortunately with triplets the rule of "sleep while they sleep" doesnt really work, but you probably didnt do that with your older son either. I wish you lived around me so I could come help you after they got here. My heart really goes out to you right now.
You really sound like I did about a year ago. I lost so much sleep trying to figure out how I was going to do it... but it came and passed and its just fine.
