____New mom Sarah Ward and partner, Benn Smith, of Crayford, London, got the shock of their life when they realized that they were expecting triplets when their firstborn, Freddie, was only 8 weeks old. What?
The couple had been trying for a year to conceive when a visit to the GP revealed that 29-year-old Sarah was pregnant with Freddie. The couple was ecstatic, considering that at first they thought that parenthood might not be in the cards for them. Oh, but did their doctor have a surprise for them!

They both knew that they wanted to have a second child so they started trying, thinking that it might take as long to conceive baby number 2 as it did to conceive baby number 1, little Freddie … but apparently that was not the case.
This March when Freddie was just turning 9 months old, Sarah gave birth to triplets, Stanly, Daisy and Reggie. Finding themselves with four children under the age of 9 months, the parents are exhausted.
Holy smokes! My girls are two years and two months apart and I still feel like I haven't slept through the night in nine years. I cannot imagine having four kids under the age of 9 months. My parents have six kids and at one point in my life, they had five kids under the age of 7. THAT was a lot of little kids to me. I cannot even fathom four kids under the age of 9 months. The diapers and bottles alone would keep you exhausted, never mind actually parenting and spending time with each child.
I don't know how they do it but I guess we never know how we will do anything of this magnitude until we are in that situation. May they always be blessed with more love than they know what to do with because I am sure that is currently the situation with diapers and babies. Thankfully, all babies and mom are happy and healthy.
