| Does This Avatar Make My Butt Look Big? Minor Deity  |
Let’s just say that this year has been wild. OS became pregnant with spontaneous triplets. They were born healthy in August (2 boys and a girl), and the whole family of five moved in with Mr. Sphinx and me. The time and expense ($500 a month on formula to supplement breastfeeding) is overwhelming, so we’re glad we can help. What’s been most bizarre is the way other people behave. We get the full rundown of intrusive questions from total strangers, like is the father going to get a vasectomy. Is my daughter going to have more kids. Are they test tube babies. People stare and gawk to the point that my introverted daughter doesn’t even like taking them out. So, just a public service announcement: Just smile at them and, you know, maybe get the door? Cindy (having a blast and not too introverted to answer questions from you all) | ||

Congratulations to all the Sphinxes, large and small!
No kidding. It has to be a huge challenge raising three little ones at the same time. OS is lucky to have more hands on deck to help! How's the dog dealing with the new residents?

Wow!! Congratulations A friend had triplets years ago. The boys will be graduating from different colleges on different days in May. "spontaneous" refers to what? I had a question in mind that was too rude. Maybe this one is ok.

Spontaneous = not caused as a result of medical intervention (like fertility assistance where they implant multiple eggs in the hope that some will become viable embryos). I can only imagine the workload. My sister had preemie twins and an 18 month old and that was bad enough. She wasn't breastfeeding, either. Congrats! Three new Sphinxlets set loose on the world. | |||

Yes, unfortunately, it's quite bad. I'm sorry you all have to deal with it.

congratulations, Cindy! This sounds fun, exciting and exhausting. as an aside, I think we should have a separate thread where we try to guess what the rude question Chas was thinking of is… | |||
