She doesn't know i'm pregnant, let alone with triplets.
I am more nervous to tell her than anyone else. Her husband is a stick in the mud and i'm fully prepared to walk out of the restaurant if he even starts his sh!t

What on Earth could they say that is bad?? Do they know how hard this journey has been for you?
Good Luck!
thank you and thank you
What do you think her husband will say that will make you want to leave? I can't imagine someone not being happy about all those babies!!

Thank you!!
When i was pregnant in Aug (ended in c/p), we told them.
Her husband said, "It's still early...we'll see what happens before we get too excited"
Now, ultimately it was too early...but seriously? He knows we've been trying for almost 3 years. *eyeroll*
I think he will automatically go into, "How do you plan on taking care of 3 babies? With what money? Will DH be the only one to work?! Can you live on his income with 3 kids!? You only have a 2bdrm house, where will they all sleep!?" etc...etc...etc..
Dont get me wrong, I know its a parent thing to do to be worried. But after almost 3 years of trying and failing, today i just wanna vast in the glory and not dwell in the fear.
I don't blame you! He can parent all he wants, but he needs to learn some tact! I hope it goes well, but if not, there's a whole board of "strangers" that are nothing but ecstatic for you and DH!!!
seeeee..thats why i love you gals!
Thank you!!!!
I say, if he wants to pull out his stick in the mud routine, tell him what you told us.
Say to him: I appreciate your concern, but today, I just want to be happy that I am having babies at all. I hope you can enjoy this with us. We have a lot of time in the coming months to be worried and practicle- today, let's be happy.
Hi Autumn, I don't know you, so hello and congrats x 3. That's amazing.
I agree with Mrs. Techie's advice. I think you need to have a boilerplate line that you have ready to just keep repeating if he starts giving you a hard time. Come up with something you're comfortable with, like what she said and then just keep saying it everytime he puts the stick in the proverbial mud. Just remain super calm. Good luck!!!
Thanks ladies! We just got home and everything went very well. I was very surprised!!
