Triplet on the floor????

Enchanted Pixels, you need to remember that some people take to motherhood really easily. The fact that you have 6 children is a sign that you love children, you can cope with them, and I truelly admire you for that. It is something I wish for myself.

Personally I find motherhood hard. I find it does not come naturally to me, I really have to work at it. I need to constantly remind myself that those little bodies came from my body, created thru the love that my husband and I share.

Don't get me wrong, I am not a bad mother (at least I don't think so), both the boys are well balanced, well stimulated and well cared for,and most of all loved with my whole being, but it was not a natural process.
It was not maternal instinct that made them like that. It was me reading everything I possibly could to help make me a better mother, to better stimulate them. It was talking to natural mothers (like yourself) that brought out the good mother in me.

I can fully relate to the feeling of being totally overwhelmed by the need to care for 3 babies.

xIt's sad...

No she is the most well behaved one!! The little boy has reflux and I know her heart is very sore for him but he is on meds and doing well.
The other little girl wants to be in hands all the time and is quite demanding
And then this little angel just lies peacefully, only cries if she's hungry!
The other day she didnt want to sleep from 7am-3pm (long I know....but she doesnt cry or complain) and the mom told me she was a monster cos she didnt sleep.
I explained they are getting bigger and will start sleeping a little less and need a bit of stimulation now.
But anyway...I dont know. she is coping amazingly well. she is not scared to hold them, bath them etc. she doesnt look like a first time mom!
I dont see signs of PND...

It really is odd then that she is treated differently. I love all my kids , and like someone said (think it was Joli) you love them differently - but not one more than the other.

I am also tired and I am also sleep deprived (although Jaqi is sleepin through now) and I never treat my one child better tahn my other child, I never have a "no-care" attitude towards my kids however tired I am. You've met me more than once and please feel free to correct me if I am wrong...

Maybe she is a PND sufferer?

Is this baby more clingy and crying than the others?

They were born at 33 weeks and all of them stayed in NICU for 7 weeks. her and the boy came home first and then the other little girl came about a week later as she wouldnt suck properly.

so she wasn't anymore ill than the others.

May I ask, if they were prem?

Maybe she almost died, and mom & dad were scared to bond with her beacuse they almost lost her? Maybe they bonded better with the other 2 because they were not as sick?

Meags I think you are a wonderful person for caring so much!
