I Had A Singleton, Then Twins, Then Triplets And I Document The Life Of My Unique Family

我有一個獨生子女，然后是雙胞胎，然后是三胞胎，我記錄下了我獨特家庭的生活

My name is Lucia, and I have a unique story. My husband and I didn’t have plans for a big family. My first pregnancy, I had a baby boy. My second pregnancy, I had twin boys. Then, my surprise third pregnancy, I had triplet girls.

我的名字叫露西亞，我有一個獨特的故事。我和我丈夫沒有計劃要一個大家庭。我第一次懷孕，生了個男孩。我第二次懷孕時，生了一對雙胞胎男孩。然后，我意外的第三次懷孕，我有了三胞胎。

Life is busy but I just love my big family. This was never my life plan but now, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love being a Mum.

生活是忙碌的，但我只是愛我的大家庭。這從來都不是我的人生計劃，但現(xiàn)在，我不會有任何其他的方式。我喜歡當(dāng)媽媽。

So first, we had our son, and we were so happy to have grown our family. Then, when we found out we were having twins, we were so shocked, we couldn’t stop laughing at the ultrasound office. Then, when we found out we were having triplets, we couldn’t speak. We just couldn’t comprehend it. It was so surreal. The triplets arrived at 35 weeks and life became super busy. Breastfeeding three babies was a big challenge, but we did it.

首先，我們有了兒子，我們很高興讓我們的家庭成長。后來，當(dāng)我們發(fā)現(xiàn)自己懷了雙胞胎時，我們非常震驚，忍不住笑了起來。然后，當(dāng)我們發(fā)現(xiàn)我們有了三胞胎，我們不能說話。我們就是無法理解。太超現(xiàn)實了。三胞胎出生35周后，生活變得異常忙碌。母乳喂養(yǎng)三個嬰兒是一個很大的挑戰(zhàn)，但我們做到了。

Getting all six kids ready to go out took a long time. Preparation was the key. Luckily, I had my mum living close to us and she was able to help out. Also, allowing extra time when we went out in public, as everyone wants to talk to you when they see triplets and twins. The questions were sometimes very personal and very repetitive, but you can’t blame people for being so interested. Once I had a stranger ask if they could kiss one of my baby triplets. Also, typical questions like “Are they identical?”, “How do you manage?”, “Are they natural?”, “Did you know you were having triplets?” These questions came left, right and center… all the time.

讓六個孩子都準(zhǔn)備好出門花了很長時間。準(zhǔn)備是關(guān)鍵。幸運的是，我媽媽住得離我們很近，她能幫忙。另外，當(dāng)我們在公共場合的時候，允許有額外的時間，因為每個人看到三胞胎和雙胞胎的時候都想和你聊天。這些問題有時非常私人，而且非常重復(fù)，但你不能責(zé)怪人們對這些問題如此感興趣。有一次，一個陌生人問我是否可以親吻我的三胞胎寶寶。還有一些典型的問題，比如“他們是一樣的嗎?”、“你是怎么做到的?”、“他們是天然的嗎?”、“你知道你生了三胞胎嗎?”“這些問題總是圍繞著我們……

There was no me time in the early times, but I enjoyed going for a walk with the triplets in the pram, and boys on their bikes. It was my relaxation time. My triplet pram was awesome, but it was big… and no, it didn’t fit everywhere. I remember going to the zoo for the first time with all the kids, and we couldn’t fit through the gate. Luckily, we were able to use the staff delivery gate around the corner. You get used to such challenges.

早期我沒有自己的時間，但我喜歡和三胞胎一起坐在嬰兒車?yán)锷⒉剑泻凃T著自行車。這是我的放松時間。我的三聯(lián)嬰兒車很棒，但是它太大了……不，它不適合任何地方。我記得我第一次和所有的孩子去動物園，我們不能通過大門。幸運的是，我們能夠使用拐角處的員工送貨門。你會習(xí)慣這樣的挑戰(zhàn)。

Now, the kids are older, life is still busy, but different. I work part-time as a Photographer, and all the kids are at school. We still make time for family holidays which is our favorite thing to do. Spending time together exploring new places is what we look forward to the most.

現(xiàn)在，孩子們都長大了，生活仍然很忙碌，但有所不同。我兼職做攝影師，所有的孩子都在上學(xué)。我們?nèi)匀挥袝r間和家人一起度假，這是我們最喜歡做的事情?；〞r間一起探索新的地方是我們最期待的。
