WHat could we possibly need help with ?

Thank you to aunt Mary and aunt Margie for spending the day with us yesterday ! Aunt aunt Elyane a few days prior and Leah and others .
They helped with the triplets, Lilly, laundry, organizing baby clothes- they even brought lunch. AND Mary made us lasagna. We had it for dinner last night and it was the best lasagna I have ever had !
Lilly keeps saying aunties coming over , daddy ? It was so nice of them especially with such a long drive.
Also I wanted to share something with everyone that is going to get me in trouble when Jenell reads this. Jenell was telling someone on the phone yesterday how nice it was of Mary and Margie, and the person on the other end said “what could you possibly need help with? they just eat and sleep” – I won’t name this person. “What could we possibly need help with !!” I laughed. What kind of complete idiot would say something so stupid? Really this question is so insane that I am speechless and it makes me laugh.
- 270 diaper changes a week – oops plus Lilly so well over 300
- Prepare 168 bottles per week – plus Lilly drinks and eats too
- Feed 3 premature babies 168 time per week total
- Achieve 336 burps a week – and that doesn’t include me !
- Run the dishwasher and empty 21 times per week
- Do the laundry and fold- 24 hours a day
- mow and trim ~ 2 acres of grass
- Clean and upkeep ~2500 sq feet of house
- Care for, feed, change, play with, Lilly
- All on a couple hours of sleep if we’re lucky
So right- what could we possibly need help with? My rant for this morning!
I think we could handle 10 more babies if it were the case, but a little help- even just a little interaction with adults is nice and we will take it ! Luckily Jenell and I are well organized and we are getting things done AND there are plenty of family members and friends that are helping out (and we really appreciate it!).

Kerry,
Just so you know. I’m not upset but it’s spelled Lea.

Hello. That person needs to re-evaluate their statement!!!!! I wonder if that person has any children – or maybe he/she forgot what is is like to take care of a child. Just having ONE child of my own- I feel like I’m losing my mind at times (and he goes to school during the day). The amount of work and mental and physical strain this situation will take on you is hard to comprehend. You guys are strong though but I’m sure it is WONDERFUL To have some help – so that was really nice of the Aunties to drive all the way out there and help. Aunt Mary and Auntie Lane are awesome!!!!


It gets easier. Hang in there!
