mary lindsey | TRIPLETS maternity

for those of you who don't know, my sweet big sister is pregnant with triplets! it's quite the funny story actually, and more than any other it proves that God has a sense of humor. you can read all about her story here

you see, my sister and her husband tried for almost 3 years to have kids, and they didn't think they were ever going to be able to. it was such a hard time for my sister especially, because all she wanted in life was to be a mom. i remember her saying when she was young that she really hoped she had multiples one day! after much prayer, heartache, and waiting, they finally got pregnant with harper grace. they weren't sure if they would be able to have more kids after harper, but insert God's sense of humor here!  With no fertility treatment involved, they soon found out they were pregnant with TRIPLET BOYS!  and harper grace was only 10 months old :).

these are her maternity photos at a beautiful 25 weeks.  triplet pregnancies usually last between 30-35 weeks, as opposed to the normal 40 weeks of a single baby.  notice that she looks just as big now as she did when she was pregnant with harper at 38 weeks - 4 days before she gave birth! {view those maternity photos here.}  she is growing those baby boys beautifully, and it is obvious that the calling to be a mom is all over her.  isn't she glowing?  i'm so proud of you, sissy!

I love these pictures. I just happened across your blog and have enjoyed it very much. My sister also had triplet boys on Sept. 10, 1974. They are all daddies now and are all such good friends.It has been my pleasure (as their aunt) to watch them grow up to be fine men. But I will tell you that it was a real challenge for my sister, especially when they were toddlers. Best of luck to everyone!
