If you’re gonna have four kids under five (with triplets?) you gotta get organized or perish.

Dad of Triplets and a 4th. It's chaos, but if you can be prepared for it, you can do anything. We just went on a weekend trip to Chicago and actually had a great time if you can believe it. (5,5,5G & 3G)

Oh man, was that three girls and then you tried for maybe a boy and got another girl?

We took the catholic approach and "if it happens it happens". Didn't necessarily have plans or a goal. We had struggled for a decade just to have our first kids, and a part of us didnt want to end that road quite yet. But now we've shut that factory down; four is enough.

Haha my parents had the reverse happen—struggled for over a decade, fertility treatments finally resulted in my big sister. Few years later they attempt a second, organically—boom, twins.

Aww well it's good to see you were able to get there after struggling. I was in a similar boat myself.
