And I remember walking out of that room and Ash said,

holding my hand and saying, Bubsy's, I really hope that little one makes it.

And I just thought it was so beautiful that right from the beginning, we sort of loved them all.

And when we went back two weeks later, the little one had caught up and yeah, we continued on with the pregnancy.

We were so excited.

I used to love it when people would, you know, random strangers would see that I was pregnant and say, oh, you know, congratulations, is it your first?

And I used to absolutely love saying, yeah, it's my first three.

We spent the next six months preparing for this instant family.

We found a triplet buggy, which was so cute.

And we got it home and we assembled it and it sat in our hallway.

And it was like these three little seats in a line awaiting this precious cargo.

And I couldn't wait to be pushing them around Centennial Park.

And yeah, I just, you know, I didn't really, I remember at the beginning, I didn't really consider all the sort of logistics of the difficulties.

how difficult it would be to be a mother of three babies.

I just thought we were blessed.

I think that's right.

I think when I look back now...

Sometimes I wonder how was I so blase about being pregnant with three, but because I'd never been pregnant before, you know, and once we got over the sort of initial shock of the fact that we were having three babies, we were just, you know, we were all up for it and just super excited.

At the time I met Ash, I was just living in the present, living in the moment, having a great time.

I was new to Sydney.
