My last two are 11 months and three weeks apart and I have not forgotten the isolation or the frustration that comes with not being able to chase 2 kids going in different directions. :) The good thing is that this too shall pass, but it is a bit of a test. LOL!! I wish I had been more internet savvy when I had my last two, as it would have definitely helped to see other moms who felt the same way. I felt alone, overwhelmed and a little guilty for seeming ungrateful for my blessings. I think if I had realized there was a virtual support system, I would have been better able to deal. It's why I blog now-maybe one thing I might be going through/talk about will help someone else. Glad I found your blogs and am looking forward to reading your future posts. You have been a given a powerful gift-the ability to write and touch other people. Hang in there. Remember, mommies rule, kids drool. :)Christine https://www.blogger.com/profile/15524907888060240424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29375966.post-72243825122822393992009-02-01T20:02:00.000-05:002009-02-01T20:02:00.000-05:00i believe God gives us a little more than we can h...i believe God gives us a little more than we can handle so we lean on Him more....for some odd reason that comforts me bc I know He will take care of me. :)<BR/><BR/>hang in there--I feel the same even though my boys arent 2 yet (3 months to go!)Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14211751827216321160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29375966.post-17122303738769557822009-01-28T22:01:00.000-05:002009-01-28T22:01:00.000-05:00Hugs Dorinda.

The hard part is in order for it to get better you are going to have to go out with them often even on short trips in order to teach them what is and is not acceptable. This is no easy feat! <BR/>Just like the baby stage and all the crap you have to learn once you get a system it becomes more habit and easier to do.<BR/>We haven't used our triplet stroller since last May so the my trio was 2 1/2. I still take the single stroller to things like the zoo but mostly to carry all our junk and the occasional "I'm tired". <BR/>It was a hard stage and good for you for opening up about it!Tripletblessedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16851124032175604772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29375966.post-80663963675980888512009-01-27T21:22:00.000-05:002009-01-27T21:22:00.000-05:00Dorinda, I am sure you posting this about how isol...Dorinda, I am sure you posting this about how isolating and hard having 2 year old triplets is will help so many other triplet moms, probably more than you realize.....because sometimes just reading that someone else is struggling is comforting, because you know that someone else understands. does that make sense? It is harder for me right now than it was when my boys were younger. It is less scary in that I am not so much worried anymore about their weight, or reflux, stuff like that.....but it is exhausting and difficult to not be able to go out and be out of the house. My boys don't want to be in a stroller anymore either......and I definitely wish I could do more everyday things with my boys.....but we will definitely get through this....and I bet we even miss this age!!! <BR/><BR/>Big hugs to you!!!<BR/>KelliKellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17205655649046526414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29375966.post-24879300787905665002009-01-27T16:49:00.000-05:002009-01-27T16:49:00.000-05:00Dorinda, you are not alone.

Going out isn't as easy and now there are temper tantrums and fights to deal with. Hopefully your girls are still sleeping through the night because Lord knows, none of mine do anymore.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08924474284774365261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29375966.post-72637302462968239262009-01-27T08:56:00.000-05:002009-01-27T08:56:00.000-05:00Oh Dorinda!I'm so glad you posted this.

Mine aren't even sleeping through the night now! <BR/><BR/>We will survive this though; I'm sure of it.Cheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07612885817539532927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29375966.post-82684113513116357752009-01-26T23:19:00.000-05:002009-01-26T23:19:00.000-05:00Yeah, I know what you mean... sometimes I just wis...Yeah, I know what you mean... sometimes I just wish He didn't trust me quite so much!<BR/><BR/>I'm finally coming out of my strep throat induced haze here and wanted to say congrats on the Multiple Bliss contributor thing!
