And how fortunate that all 3 had separate interests so they were not competing for the same achievements.

Were they a surprise from Mother Nature or assisted fertility triplets? Please don't answer if my pediatric nurse self is being too nosy.

The pediatric practice from which I retired had 2 sets of triplet patients, and whenever either of the moms would come in with their stretch limo strollers when the kids were little, a hush would fall over the waiting room, and you could hear the moms of singletons thinking, "Oohhh, I guess my life is not as busy as I'm always complaining that it is."

We also has one set of quads - 2 boys, 2 girls. Both parent worked, and they had 2 nannies = one for the boys and one for the girls.
