I even had a stranger find it already and tell me they could clearly see triplets in the ultrasound. So why draw this kind of attention?</p> <p>When we found out we were having triplets, we were stunned. In fact, there is no word to describe it. Still, I feel like I should feel overwhelmed, but have no idea what to expect. But the stuff we found online and in print was a big help - I felt like I wanted to give back something, and of course, I love to tell stories.</p> <p>The first thing I did when I got home was hit Amazon for some information on the subject. I ordered a book about <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FMultiples-Manual-Preparing-Caring-Triplets%2Fdp%2F0972467602%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dbooks%26qid%3D1178075071%26sr%3D8-4&tag=wwwjavaguyorg-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">caring for triplets</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=wwwjavaguyorg-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, and another one about <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FYoure-Expecting-Twins-Triplets-Revised%2Fdp%2F0060542683%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dbooks%26qid%3D1178075071%26sr%3D8-7&tag=wwwjavaguyorg-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">managing a triplet pregnancy</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=wwwjavaguyorg-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, but the best book was <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FSleep-Red-Lights-Story-Triplets%2Fdp%2F0312315295%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dbooks%26qid%3D1178074695%26sr%3D8-1&tag=wwwjavaguyorg-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">I Sleep At Red Lights</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=wwwjavaguyorg-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, a father's true story of raising triplets.</p> <p>I hope that over time this blog grows into something kinda like that book.</p> <p>Comments in my blog are kinda broken right now - they don't look like they submit, but they do, but I can't approve them in the admin interface. I'm a tinkering software guy though - probably has something to do with permissions on this box. I'll fix it soon. Until then, add your comments anyway - I'll eventually figure it out. Welcome to an exciting trip!</p> Tue, 01 May 2007 22:59:00 -0400 urn:uuid:574c57db-e81a-44c0-9682-5e7e15f30992 David Bock http://www.bocktriplets.org/articles/2007/05/01/why-a-blog
