Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have triplets? Do you wonder how parents of multiple manage their lives? MAGICAL MULTIPLE MOMENTS will answer specific questions such as, "How big should I expect a belly for three to get?" or "How much help will I need to keep everything together?" Julie Gillespie shares stories and bits of advice she collected on her website Triplettales.net from 250 moms and dads she either interviewed or surveyed. Over a five-year period she posted blogs and received feedback from other parents creating a well-rounded, candid picture of life with three or more kids at a time. Interwoven in the chapters are interviews from experts in such fields as sleep training, psychiatry, and exercise. Statistics created from the surveys answer questions Julie couldn"t find in any of the literature on multiples such as "Is it common to separate children in school or keep them together?" As her children grew she chronicled each developmental phase. This book reflects her thoughts as well as those of the many other parents she interviewed.
