How is the upstairs remodeling coming along? How is Lilly doing with all the excitement? I doubt that you'll be at your Grandmas 80th birthday party. We'll all be thrilled to hear when the happy day arrives. Hang in there!! Love, Aunt Bobbie Hi All, I think of you often and pray that things continue to go well for all of you.

(There's just no time!) Here are some tips for when your babies are born: Buy zip-up one piece outfits, it makes dressing them so much easier and quicker (pajamas, winter clothing). Button-up outfits take the longest to put on. (Snaps are easier than buttons.) Buy liquid soap and moisturizer with pump dispensers. Why? B/c you'll need one hand to hold the baby in the bath and will only have one hand free to get the soap, moisturizer. Even with the triplet discount and multiple coupons for other brands, Wal-mart White Cloud brand diapers are still the cheapest. Desitin diaper-rash creme/powder may burn your baby's bottom. This didn't happen to our triplets, but to a friend of ours' and I've read about other cases on Amazon.com. We use Balmex. Look into other brands too. Line up help for the first two months: Your parents, parents-in-law, sisters, brothers, friends, church friends, neighbors, anyone you trust who offers. Don't turn anyone down! You will need round-the-clock help for the first six weeks at least, believe me!
