She is one of the main six characters on the show and in the 4th season her half brother and his older wife asked her to be a surrogate mother for their baby. She got pregnant and they later on the discovered she was carrying triplets. Early in the 5th season she gave birth to all three.

Congrats! Now get them into hockey and have them all play on the same line, but do it according to roles, Playmaker, Sniper, Power Forward.

Jokes aside, big congrats.

So can they tell if they are going to be identical or fraternal at this point?

Congratulations by the way. You are in for a helluva ride.

My first thought was: my labour lasted 42 hours.... if I had conceived triplets, would that have taken 126 hours? That's like 5 days!!!!

Thoughts and prayers to your wife's girly-bits.

And congrats.

^ I assume that once the first one opens the door wide enough to get out, the others would take the hint that the party's over pretty quick, especially after the host has been giving forceful hints for several hours. (of course, on of them may be 'that guy' who never takes the hint and the party might drag on relentlessly...

Congrats OP, get as much fun and free stuff as you can, while you can!

That's awesome. Good luck and I hope mom and kids remain happy and healthy.

My wife's cousin had triplets three years ago. They are never not tired but I guess that goes for parents in general. Make sure you have a good support group of family and friends in place. Everyone wants to babysit when they are young and cute. Take advantage of this!

Congrats! And congrats. And congratulations.

I had a coworker who had twins when they were trying for their 3rd and final kid. He said that while it was hard, his house became a mini triage. Every kid has an issue and you just need to assess every situation and deal with the most important one. By the time you're done the other problems will have worked themselves out somehow. He said his kids were better adjusted than most.

Oh, here's something to bookmark. He comes very highly recommended: http://www.vasman.com/home/vasectomy

I failed my test with him!

Me: "what's that doc?"
Vasman: "Bad news is you failed your test, good news is the second time is free"

As someone who is 2.5 weeks into dealing with a new baby - I can't imagine the prospects of having three of these things to deal with.

Congrats though!
